About this product
Product Information
The era of the Austro-Hungarian Empire occupying the second half of the 19th century is perhaps the most exciting period in the modern history of this region. In an atmosphere of increasing tension, as an empire doomed to collapse, it saw unparalleled economic, cultural and intellectual achievements, fundamentally influencing the cultures of the people and nationalities living there - both positively and negatively.This new study of the dual monarchy by accomplished Hungarian historian Andras Gero takes a modern look at the period by analysing the body, spirit and soul of the Empire, as well as exploring the daily lives of its citizens, problems of territory and nationality, and finishing with a look at the heritage it left behind.Product Identifiers

It's a bit big..
This large coffee table tome delves into the Habsburg legacy and later the Dual Monarchy, and their impossible task of forming unity between many disparate peoples: Hungarians, Austrians, Czechs, Ruthenians, Germans, Poles, Romanians, Slovaks and others, all of whose customs and histories pulled in many different directions over centuries. The Dual Monarchy was the last chance to solve these unsolveable problems and was eventually swept away by the killing fields of WW1. Today, Austria is a fully neutral independent landlocked country, whilst Hungary goes its own way and is not neutral (per se). So many lavish paintings, illustrations and photos -all of which are illuminating- and oodles of text make this a beautifully crafted read.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
