Schönbrunn : ein Schloss und seine Welt von Kurt Eigl
Schönbrunn, Vienna's dream palace and tourist trap, has been given a good, if utterly pro-monarchy treatment of its history and famous owners in this book that is beautifully illustrated with color photographs that obscure the dreadful state of preservation the palace was in during the early 1980s. The time after the First World War is hardly mentioned. That 269 American bombs devastated part of the palace in the final days of the Second World War is also only noted as a postscript. Given Schönbrunn's remote location apart from any industry or transportation nexus, it being originally a hunting retreat, an examination why it became a target might have been interesting.… (mehr)
A well made fictitious eyewitness account of siege of Vienna in 1863 from a survivor of the brutal siege of Candia. Sieges are great narrative pressure cookers creating confinement and drama. The besieger's alien culture and brutality adds another layer of fear. No wonder that the siege of Vienna is said to have served as the model for Tolkien's siege of Minas Tirith in the Lord of the Rings.
