WISHFUL THINKING REVISITED: GÉZA JESZENSZKY’S ‘LOST PRESTIGE’

On my bookshelves there are already two copies of Lost Prestige: the 1986 edition, a little blue book, which back then was a real eye-opener for an MA student in History and English, and the 1994-second edition, a presentation copy, which was a book of great value for my dissertation.
