Summary: tour de force !!
Comment: This is a wonderful book for all intellectual historians, and cultural historians interested in fin-de-siecle Austro-Hungary. It's a tour de force if ever there were one! But it manages to remain accecible at the same time.

Also, while many have written about Freud, Wittgenstein, Schiele etc., Johnston talkes about the lesser known figures of the era. That is this book's niche.

Rating: 5
Summary: MAGIC !!
Comment: This book is worth every cent, an amazingly well written and concise history of the culture, from all angles. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Rating: 5
Summary: Wonderfully readable, enclyclopedic resource
Comment: For anyone interested in the artistic, philosophical and psychological impact of Viennese culture, this is a must. Freud, Wittgenstein, Schiele, etc. Prof. of History at U. Mass., Amherst, Johnston writes clearly and with enthusiasm. See also his illustrated _Vienna, Vienna_.
