Description
The book presents extensive cultural studies from the histories of four European metropolises (Paris, Vienna, Prague, and Berlin), which have significantly shaped European and world culture. In addition to the wealth of information and interesting facts from the fields of architecture, history, literature, music, visual arts, and film, the publication also offers an opportunity to become acquainted with the captivating narrative style of the legend of Croatian German studies, musicology, and cultural studies, Prof. Viktor Žmegač (1929–2022).
Whether Žmegač narrates the role of cafes in Vienna's cultural life, the influence of French Huguenots on Berlin's culture, the atmosphere of Parisian bourgeois salons, humor in Czech culture, or the mutual influences, similarities, and differences among the metropolises, he masterfully uncovers remarkable connections even amidst seemingly well-known facts.
