A Scholarly yet Provacative Work

A must have for all those interested in the culture of the fin-de-siecle as well as turn-of-the-century modernism.

Brilliant!

The title tells everything. If you want to dive deep into a revolutionary human manifestation that marks one of the most intriguing passages of History, you have to read this book. The author shows you the atmosphere of Europe, using the city of Viena, when the end of a century and the beginning of another is getting closer... You cant imagine the change inside the various spheres of society.
