摘要註: |
In most contemporary historical writing, the picture of modernlife in Habsburg Central Europe is rather gloomy. Centered on Vienna in the twilightyears of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it is the story of the failure of rationalismand the rise of a politics of fantasy culminating in protofascist movements. Thisbook tells a different story, focusing on the generation of Czech writers andartists distinguished by their optimistic view of the world in the years before theFirst World War. These figures, most notably Karel Capek, greeted the collapse ofthe Habsburg monarchy not with despair and trepid. |
