Public Spaces in Budapest

Andras Gero is professor of history and chairman of the Department of History at Budapest University. He is also a professor of history at Central European University and the director of the Institute of Habsburg History. His books include Hungarian Illusionism; The Jewish Criterion in Hungary; Imagined History; The Emperor Francis Joseph, King of the Hungarians; and The Hungarian Parliament (1867-1918): A Mirage of Power.

The scholarly importance of this book lies thus not in the answers it gives to historical questions, but in its ability to suggest an interpretation which is at once personal and unpretentious. -- Marius Turda European History Quarterly
