Vienna Mixed Set

When he was seventeen, T. H. Enge discovered Vienna for the first time. Returning years later, he fell in love with the magical city and its rich, complex history. Vienna was a city of dreamers, royals, scientists, soldiers, madmen, and more. Like so many before him, the author was entranced by the Vienna of the past and by the vibrant city of today. Now, he has chronicled the wonders of Vienna in this unique travelogue. Mr. Enge deftly weaves his own personal family history into a larger discussion about the history and culture of the city he loves.



The author includes information about

the storied history of the famous city, the biographies of some of Vienna's most esteemed citizens, the unique atmosphere of the different sections of the city, the best seasonal foods to try, the key to shopping at Vienna's many outdoor markets, the rich Jewish culture of the region, and the beers and wines you must try when you visit yourself.

Mr. Enge's family history is just as intriguing. He writes of distant relatives, his first glimpse of the beloved city, and the adventures he and his family had once they moved there. This love letter to a spectacular metropolis is full of whimsy, passion, and charm.
