Product Information
A century ago, Vienna and Budapest were the capital cities of the western and eastern halves of the increasingly unstable Austro-Hungarian empire and scenes of intense cultural activity. Vienna was home to such figures as Sigmund Freud, Gustav Klimt, and Hugo von Hofmannsthal; Budapest produced such luminaries as B la Bart k, Georg Luk cs, and Michael and Karl Polanyi. However, as P ter Han k shows in these vignettes of Fin-de-Si cle life, the intellectual and artistic vibrancy common to the two cities emerged from deeply different civic cultures. Han k surveys the urban development of the two cities and reviews the effects of modernization on various aspects of their cultures. He examines the process of physical change, as rapid population growth, industrialization, and the rising middle class ushered in a new age of tenements, suburbs, and town planning. He investigates how death and its rituals--once the domain of church, family, and local community--were transformed by the commercialization of burials and the growing bureaucratic control of graveyards. He explores the mentality of common soldiers and their families--mostly of peasant origin--during World War I, detecting in letters to and from the front a shift toward a revolutionary mood among Hungarians in particular. He presents snapshots of such subjects as the mentality of the nobility, operettas and musical life, and attitudes toward Germans and Jews, and also reveals the striking relationship between social marginality and cultural creativity. In comparing the two cities, Han k notes that Vienna, famed for its spacious parks and gardens, was often characterized as a "garden" of esoteric culture. Budapest, however, was a dense city surrounded by factories, whose cultural leaders referred to the offices and caf s where they met as "workshops." These differences were reflected, he argues, in the contrast between Vienna's aesthetic and individualistic culture and Budapest's more moralistic and socially engaged approach. Like Carl Schorske's famous Fin-de-Si cle Vienna , Han k's book paints a remarkable portrait of turn-of-the-century life in Central Europe. Its particular focus on mass culture and everyday life offers important new insights into cultural currents that shaped the course of the twentieth century. Originally published in 1998. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.

Reviews
The Garden and the Workshop is not only for lovers of Vienna and Budapest, it is for history buffs of all stripes. But it is likewise for anyone interested in seeing what Hanák implicitly shows time and time again, namely the many points that postmodernist fin-de-siécle relativism shares with our own fin-de-siécle (or should I say fin-de-millennium?) postmodernist variety of same. ---Michael Henry Heim, Washington Post Book World, "Hank always writes well, is always absorbing, and is consistently receptive to the latest trends in historiography.... [The volume particularly] succeeds in those studies that describe the variety of intellectual responses to the challenges of capitalist transformation in Budapest and Vienna--those two very different urban centers of the two halves of one country. Hank's account of this will continue to fascinate as long as people read cultural history."-- Gbor Gyni, The Budapest Review of Books, "There is much of value in this book. The chapter on Hanak+s cultural hero, Endre Ady, is fine and written with a genuine passion. The piece on operetta is amusing, that on letters during the war informative. . . . What is most intriguing about the book . . . is the chapter . . . on the question of social marginality and cultural creativity."-- Steven Beller, Times Literary Supplement, "There is much of value in this book.

I love this coloring book, expecially the price. The great part about Second Sale's buy 3 get the 4th book free deal is that there's enough variety to choose 4 without a problem.

I contact the seller twice and they never responded. I ordered a book 2 of them actually and they were ordered on May 15 and they were never shipped out. So I’m not sure what the issue is but I think it’s very tacky and disgusting too want to be a seller but don’t provide, the merchandise. It just says paid ordered but not shipped. I just don’t understand.
