Description

Vienna was home to some of the most extraordinary minds of modern times, and was a vigorous melting-pot of radical new ideas and concepts in every field - art, architecture, literature, music, politics, journalism and theatre. Comprising 25 essays on the key movements and figures of the era, this profusely illustrated book is a highly readable portrait of this astonishing cultural ferment and its most important protagonists.
