Peter Morvay (1968-2020) was a Slovak journalist and political commentator. He was a journalist and political analyst and journalist, especially on Czech-Slovak-Hungarian relations, the Hungarian minority in Slovakia and political events in Hungary. The book Central European was published one year after the sudden death of the columnist Petr Morvay. The reason for this is not only to honour his memory, but also the timelessness of the texts he wrote for the Central Hungarian media. Although his scope was broader, the book contains a selection of reports and journalistic texts on Central Europe. He had a very personal relationship with it and therefore understood it like few others. When he wrote for a Hungarian audience, he tried to explain to them why we in Slovakia perceive some things differently. In a selection of reports for Czech readers, he describes Hungary's post-revolutionary transformation, which is similar to ours. And for Slovakia, he provided deep knowledge about these countries and about ourselves. The selection includes an interview with Vaclav Havel in 1995, the story of George Soros and the special relationship of Hungarians to him, a portrait of Peter Esterhazy, a report on how Orban is extending his influence to the south of Slovakia and how the Tisza River is slowly dying, and the story of the famous Hungarian whiskey robber Attila Ambrus. What unites all the texts is Peter's conviction that despite our differences, we must seek a common path based on understanding and tolerance.
