Specificatii
By addressing the enigma of the
exceptional success of Hungarian emigrant scientists and telling
their life stories, Brilliance in Exile combines scholarly analysis
with fascinating portrayals of uncommon personalities. István and
Balazs Hargittai discuss the conditions that led to five different
waves of emigration of scientists from the early twentieth century
to the present. Although these exodes were driven by a broad
variety of personal motivations, the attraction of an open society
with inclusiveness, tolerance, and - needless to say - better
circumstances for working and living, was the chief force drawing
them abroad. While emigration from East to West is a general
phenomenon, this book explains why and how the emigration of
Hungarian scientists is distinctive. The high number of Nobel
Prizes among this group is only one indicator. Multicultural
tolerance, a quickly emerging, considerably Jewish, urban middle
class, and a very effective secondary school system were positive
legacies of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Multiple generations,
shaped by these conditions, suffered from the increasingly
exclusionist, intolerant, antisemitic, and economically stagnating
environment, and chose to go elsewhere. "I would rather have roots
than wings, but if I cannot have roots, I shall use wings,"
explained Leo Szilard, one of the fathers of the Atom
Bomb.
