Orbánland: How I Came to Understand Viktor Orbán's Hungary and the Future of Europe Lasse Skytt

Across Europe, mindsets and opinions are shifting towards that of Viktor Orbán, the Hungarian leader with a steadfast alternative to the liberal democracy that has dominated the Western world since 1989. ORBÁNLAND is the non-fiction story of a Danish journalist who moves to Hungary to gain an insight into the political complexities of this divisive European country. Along the way, he learns as much about the Hungarians as he learns about himself. By guiding you through a polarized landscape of differing opinions, Lasse Skytt delivers a broader perspective on Viktor Orbáns Hungary and the future of Europe. His journey will likely leave you questioning your own truths, and, ultimately, which side you are on.
