Vienna

Vienna traces the extraordinary reach of a city whose thinkers and artists helped shape the modern world. From Freud, Wittgenstein, Mahler, and Klimt to psychoanalysis, the Austrian School, and the upheavals of fascism and war, the narrative follows how Viennese ideas travelled far beyond the city itself.

The result is a panoramic portrait of intellectual and cultural influence. It suits readers drawn to history, ideas, and the making of modern life, offering a wide view of how debates born in Vienna continued to shape politics, culture, science, and design across the twentieth century.
