Vienna: A Traveler's Literary Companion

This collection of short stories set in the crown jewel of Europe is an excellent introduction to the exceptionally rich contemporary Austrian literature spanning from the fin-de-siecle dream-world Vienna to more recent Nobel prize-winning authors. Vienna is not only home to historic cathedrals, formal teahouses, and a sparkling caf culture, but it is also the birthplace of new movements of thought that cover art and the human psyche. While illustrating a century of shifting forms and styles, these stories beautifully convey the Viennese nature and spirit.Binding Type: PaperbackPublisher: Whereabouts PressPublished: 09/01/2008ISBN: 9781883513108Pages: 256Weight: 0.60lbsSize: 7.20h x 5.00w x 0.80d
