Reviews / Votes
"The beauty of good books about the history of ideas is that they offer new insights and add life to history proper. And a rich transnational context makes the experience of reading such works even more pleasurable and rewarding. This is the case with Walicki's enormous undertaking." (Anton Fedyashin, Slavic Review vol. 75, no. 3, 2016)More details
