Excerpt from Anton Bruckner Wer die erste umfangreichere Arbeit uber einen denkwurdigen Menschen verfat, riskiert alle die 'ge fahren, denen im Kriege die enfants pera'us der auer sten Vorhut ausgesetzt sind, ohne aber auch immer den Ruhm und die Ehre zu erwerben, die man diesen billigerweise zuerkennt. Jedem spateren Bearbeiter des gleichen Themas wird es verhaltnismaig leicht, seinem Vorganger Fehler und Irrtumer nachzuweisen, wobei es nur wunschenswert ware, da er sich immer auch ebenso erkenntlich zeigte fur das, was er jenem verdankt, wie er in der Regel empfindlich ist fur die einem ersten Versuche fast unvermeidlich' anhaftenden Mangel und Schwachen. Moge man bei der Beurteilung dieses Buchleins wenigstens nicht ganz auer Acht lassen, da es (abgesehen von Brun ners kleiner Broschure) das erste ist, das Bruckner monographischi zu behandeln unternimmt.

A National Book Award Finalist A "riveting" (New York Times) look at one year of Viennese life during the twilight of an empire On January 30, 1889, at the champagne-splashed hight of the Viennese Carnival, the handsome and charming Crown Prince Rudolf fired a revolver at his teenaged mistress and then himself. The two shots that rang out at Mayerling in the Vienna Woods echo still. Frederic Morton, author of the bestselling Rothschilds, deftly tells the haunting story of the Prince and his city, where, in the span of only ten months, "the Western dream started to go wrong." In Rudolf's Vienna moved other young men with striking intellectual and artistic talents—and all as frustrated as the Prince. Among them were: young Sigmund Freud, Gustav Mahler, Theodor Herzl, Gustav Klimt, and the playwright Arthur Schnitzler, whose La Ronde was the great erotic drama of the fin de siecle. Morton studies these and other gifted young men, interweaving their fates with that of the doomed Prince and the entire city through to the eve of Easter, just after Rudolf's body is lowered into its permanent sarcophagus and a son named Adolf Hitler is born to Frau Klara Hitler.

On January 30, 1889, during the Viennese Carnival, Emperor Franz Josef’s son and heir, Crown Prince Rudolf fired a revolver at his teenaged mistress and then at himself at Mayerling in the Vienna Woods. In this National Book Award finalist, Frederic Morton tells the story of the Prince and his city, where, in the span of ten months, “the Western dream started to go wrong.” In 1888-89 Vienna, other young men like Sigmund Freud, Gustav Mahler, Theodor Herzl, Gustav Klimt, and Arthur Schnitzler were as frustrated as the Crown Prince, but for other reasons. Morton interweaves their fates with that of the Prince and the entire city, until Rudolf’s body is lowered into its permanent sarcophagus and a son named Adolf is born to Frau Klara Hitler. “Riveting” — John Leonard, The New York Times “As lush, beguiling, and charming as an emperor’s waltz” — Publishers Weekly “[A] spirited tale of Viennese life... by his skillful use of rich but forgotten daily details [Morton] construct[s] a fascinating account of ten months in the lives of Anton Bruckner, Johannes Brahms, Sigmund Freud, Arthur Schnitzler, Hugo Wolf, and others.” — Kirkus Reviews “On every page, great names and odd moments glitter... a remarkable and unusual slice of history.” — Robert Kirsch, Los Angeles Times “1888/1889 is my favorite year in the life of ‘the Imperial City,’ and Frederic Morton’s A Nervous Splendor is my favorite book about Vienna.” — John Irving, author of The World According to Garp
