Description
For centuries, most of Europe was in the hands of the very peculiar House of Habsburg. As a changing mixture of wizards, eccentrics, melancholics, boring patrons, musicians, and warriors, they managed to deal with – by happy coincidence, cunning, and sheer stubbornness – any number of enemies, until they ultimately had to resign themselves in 1918. From their most significant strongholds on the Danube, they ruled most of Central Europe and Germany and significantly intervened everywhere else – the history of Europe is unimaginable without them. Readers who have already discovered Simon Winder's natural talent for telling wonderful stories about Central Europe in his previous book Germania will surely enjoy the eccentric and fascinating tales about the Habsburgs and their world.
