Historical book about life and times in Vienna: the reign of Franz Joseph and Sissy, music (Brahms, Mahler), art (Klimt), science (Freud), publishing. Leading up to death of Crown Prince Rudolph and birth of Hitler. ( ) This one reminded me of Solomon Volkov's cultural history of St. Petersburg: that isn't a compliment. I think two stars in closer to an estimation. As the narrative shed its filler in the second half, fewer peeks into the diaries of Freud and Mahler, their was a whsiper of verve. The figure of Crown Prince Rudolf is a curious one, but one they maintains the enigma. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
On January 30, 1889, at the champagne-splashed height of the Viennese Carnival, the handsome and charming Crown Prince Rudolf shot and killed his teenage mistress and then himself in a suicide pact. The two shots that rang out at Mayerling in the Vienna Woods echo still. Frederic Morton, author of the bestselling THE ROTHSCHILDS, deftly tells the haunting story of the Prince and his city, where, in the span of only ten months, "the Western dream started to go wrong." Other young men with striking intellectual and artistic talents--and all as frustrated as the Prince--moved through his Vienna. Among them were a young Sigmund Freud, Gustav Mahler, Theodor Herzl, Gustav Klimt, and the playwright Arthur Schnitzler, whose La Ronde was the great erotic drama of the fin de siecle.
