A view of Vienna from a native.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I happened to pick up this book in an ebay auction after two visits there. Paul Hoffman is a Vienna native and has writtenextensively about the city and his native land elsewhere. The book is unique in describing points of interest in the woods which surround Vienna on the south and west. Points of interest such as churches, monuments, restaurants, homes and palaces are described in the detail which only a native can. A good exampleare facts about the suicide of Crown Prince Rudolph in the woods in 1889 which I have not found published elsewhere.If you love Vienna, you'll love this little book.
