PLEASURES on the PERIPHERY is a collection of authentic, occasionally surreal observations of life and work in the provinces of Sicily and People's Hungary 1966-1970. The narrator was short of money, trying to survive like everyone else, very much out on his own - but through his work in a position to encounter a wide cross-section of society. Twenty years later he was one of a team assisting in the local transition from communism to democracy ('Hello What?') in the distant south of Hungary, supported by an EC grant. The concept of 'socialism with a human face' pervades many of the descriptions included in this book and acts as a recurrent theme in its vignettes.
The book includes a number of original photographs, and begins and ends with excursions to two non-peripheral places, London and the cloudy south-west of Poland.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
