The author contends that the research about Central Europe must, first of all, be exempted from its mythicisation. The idealisation of a past of monarchical and tolerant coexistence represents a dangerous stereotype to be deconstructed, rather than resurrected. The monograph offers an up-to-date critical view of Central Europe that takes into account various historical, geopolitical, and, above all, cultural-spiritual standpoints.
