Book Synopsis
Budapest at the fin de siècle was famed and emulated for its cosmopolitan urban culture and nightlife. It was also the second-largest Jewish city in Europe. Mary Gluck delves into the popular culture of Budapest’s coffee houses, music halls, and humour magazines to uncover the enormous influence of assimilated Jews in creating modernist Budapest between 1867 and 1914.

Trade Review
Gluck artfully deploys such materials - from jokes to cartoons - to analyse a community that faced simultaneous stresses from internal ambivalence and external anti-Semitism" - Larry Wolff, The Times Literary Supplement.

“The Invisible Jewish Budapest has . . . been hailed as a significant addition to scholarly examinations of Jewish contributions to the emergence of modern urban centers. . . . [Its] enjoyable prose, fluid translations, relevant illustrations, and devotion to recreating the era via a dazzling spectrum of periodicals, newspapers, and travelogues has earned it a place among cultural histories of modern Hungary.”—Hungarian Cultural Studies
