Summary of Stephen Budiansky's Journey to the Edge of Reason
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The Austrian Empire was a broad and stable stronghold in Central Europe, and its cities were built in the same style as the capital, Vienna. Every large to moderate-sized city sought to imitate the architecture of the capital.
#2 The Golden Age of Security in Austria was the period before World War I. The currency, the Austrian crown, circulated in shiny gold coins, thus vouching for its own immutability. Parents set aside savings for their children as babes in the cradle, knowing the money would be there for their future.
#3 The Austrian Idea was a phrase coined by the Austrian poet and librettist Hugo von Hofmannsthal in 1917 just as it vanished forever in the paroxysm of the Great War. It was an idea that was first forced upon Austria, then fully embraced by the Austrian monarchy.
#4 During the Age of Enlightenment, Austria was able to acquire Hungary and Transylvania to the east, as well as the emperor who would be recalled by Austrians as the good Habsburg.
