- The Fate of Europe -
Description by Adam Hyde
This was made after being shocked by discovering the Percentages Agreement, a filthy piece of paper passed between Churchill and Stalin dividing up Europe, seemingly on a whim, at the end of the second world war. Here, Churchill and Stalin are portrayed as the characters Bottom and Titania from Shakespeare\'s A Midsummer Nights Dream.

I think you\'re quite right about that :) (or rather :( )
By the way, do you know Patrick Leigh Fermor; his person and books? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Leigh_Fermor
I\'ve read Between the Woods and the Water (in Hungarian) and purchased A Time of Gifts in English but have not read yet - but it\'d worth to do so! I can only recommend these books to anyone. I\'ve just noticed that he died this summer, at the age of 96.
