Download or read book Revisiting Austria written by Gundolf Graml and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2020-04-09 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the transformations and conflicts of the first half of the twentieth century, Austria’s emergence as an independent democracy heralded a new era of stability and prosperity for the nation. Among the new developments was mass tourism to the nation’s cities, spa towns, and wilderness areas, a phenomenon that would prove immensely influential on the development of a postwar identity. Revisiting Austria incorporates films, marketing materials, literature, and first-person accounts to explore the ways in which tourism has shaped both international and domestic perceptions of Austrian identity even as it has failed to confront the nation’s often violent and troubled history.

Download or read book Salzburg written by Hubert Nowak and published by Haus Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in paperback, Nowak reveals the lesser-known side of Salzburg through stories of those who have lived there over the centuries. Situated in the shadow of the Eastern Alps, Salzburg is known for its majestic baroque architecture, music, cathedrals, gardens. The city grew in power and wealth as the seat of prince-bishops, found international fame as the birthplace of the beloved composer Mozart, and expanded to become a global destination for travel as a festival city. With all its stunning sights and rich history, Salzburg has become Austria’s second most visited city, drawing visitors from around the world. Hubert Nowak sets out to reveal the lesser-known side of Salzburg, a small town with international renown. Leaving the famed festival district, he plunges into the narrow façade-lined streets of the old quarter, creating one of the most extensive accounts of the city published in English. Through the stories of those who visited and lived in the city over the centuries, he gives the reader a fresh perspective and gives the old city new life.

Download or read book Hitler s Journal written by James Dykes and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-10-17 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolph Hitler's life divides into five major categories: his life as a young man, his experiences in World War 1, the gaining of ultimate power, the gambles he took on a possible war, and his final defeat. As a young man he consistently chose to fight one of his parents, to reject the educational system, to live isolated from others as much as possible, never to love anyone again because of a death in the family, and finally to live as a homeless street person for four years. His experiences in World War 1gave him the opportunity to view war as the greatest of all human achievements and a necessary experience which all humans should go through. On his way to gaining ultimate power in Germany he practiced turning likely defeats into victory. His secret of dealing with seeming defeats was to never yield an inch to his enemies at any point. When facing a choice between comradeship and power he chose power. Hitler was a gambler. He gambled on war when he marched into the Rhineland, into Austria and into Czechoslovakia. Each time his gamble paid off. He took the chance again in Poland and the West, but miscalculated. However, he did get to shed blood, which he felt was his calling and destiny. Adolf Hitler had two goals, which led to his final defeat: the destruction of Communism and the annihilation of the Jews. His greatest risk was the invasion of the Soviet Union. His unyielding personality and unwillingness to admit a mistake caused him to make major military blunders such as Stalingrad and the Normandy Invasion. Unable to defeat the Communist he concluded that the Jews must be destroyed at all costs even if it meant losing the war. Hitler ended as a suicide in his underground bunker in Berlin. His last year was spent as a physical wreck, feeling extreme self-pity, and blaming others for his mistakes. In his last few days he married the person closest to him, his mistress, Eva Braun. He gave instructions to a close adjutant to destroy all his papers. This book is a supposed account of what his life was like in his own writings: how he became the man he was!

Download or read book My Battle Against Hitler written by Dietrich von Hildebrand and published by Image. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now with a new foreword by Sir Roger Scruton. How does a person become Hitler’s enemy number one? Not through espionage or violence, it turns out, but by striking fearlessly at the intellectual and spiritual roots of National Socialism. Dietrich von Hildebrand was a German Catholic thinker and teacher who devoted the full force of his intellect to breaking the deadly spell of Nazism that ensnared so many of his beloved countrymen. His story might well have been lost to us were it not for this memoir he penned in the last decades of his life at the request of his wife, Alice von Hildebrand. In My Battle Against Hitler, covering the years from 1921 to 1938, von Hildebrand tells of the scorn and ridicule he endured for sounding the alarm when many still viewed Hitler as a positive and inevitable force. He expresses the sorrow of having to leave behind his home, friends, and family in Germany to conduct his fight against the Nazis from Austria. He recounts how he defiantly challenged Nazism in the public square, prompting the German ambassador in Vienna to describe him to Hitler as "the architect of the intellectual resistance in Austria." And in the midst of all the danger he faced, he conveys his unwavering trust in God, even during his harrowing escape from Vienna and his desperate flight across Europe, with the Nazis always just one step behind. Dietrich von Hildebrand belongs to the very earliest anti-Nazi resistance. His public statements led the Nazis to blacklist him in 1921, long before the horrors of the Third Reich and more than 23 years before the assassination attempt on Hitler in July 1944. His battle would culminate in the countless articles he published in Vienna, a selection of which are featured in this volume. "It is an immense privilege," writes editor John Henry Crosby, founder of the Hildebrand Project, "to present to the world the shining witness of one man who risked everything to follow his conscience and stand in defiance of tyranny."

Download or read book When Your Heart Says Go written by Judy Reeves and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What sort of mad longing besets a woman—nearing fifty and recently widowed—to sell everything she owns, buy an around-the-world airline ticket, pack a single suitcase, and set off alone on a year-long journey without a plan or agenda? When Your Heart Says Go answers that question. Set in 1990–’91, Judy’s story takes readers from San Diego through eleven European countries, the then-Soviet Union, and finally India, during the lead-up to the first Gulf War. Explorations of foreign locales and interactions with strangers and acquaintances who become a lifeline to friendship are interspersed with occasional flashbacks to Judy’s life with her beloved husband, Tom, as well as his illness and death. Descriptions of sites historic and current serve as both daily life and background for Judy’s struggle to find her way as a sober, single, independent woman in the vast world as it edges toward the collapse of the Soviet Union and war in the Middle East. The outer journey serves as a container for the inner; the more Judy experiences of the world, the more she learns about herself—and the closer she gets to realizing her lifelong dream of being a writer.

Download or read book The Temporary European written by Cameron Hewitt and published by Travelers' Tales. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Write guidebooks, make travel TV, lead bus tours? Cameron Hewitt has been Rick Steves’ right hand for more than 20 years, doing just that. The Temporary European is a collection of vivid, entertaining travel tales from across Europe. Cameron zips you into his backpack for engaging and inspiring experiences: sampling spleen sandwiches at a Palermo street market; hiking alone with the cows high in the Swiss Alps; simmering in Budapest’s thermal baths; trekking across an English moor to a stone circle; hand-rolling pasta at a Tuscan agriturismo; shivering through Highland games in a soggy Scottish village; and much more. Along the way, Cameron introduces us to his favorite Europeans. In Mostar, Alma demonstrates how Bosnian coffee isn’t just a drink, but a social ritual. In France, Mathilde explains that the true mastery of a fromager isn’t making cheese, but aging it. In Spain, Fran proudly eats acorns, but never corn on the cob. While personal, the stories also tap into the universal joy of travel. Cameron’s travel motto (inspired by a globetrotting auntie) is "Jams Are Fun"—the fondest memories arrive when your best-laid plans go sideways. And he encourages travelers to stow their phones and guidebooks, slow down, and savor those magic moments that arrive between stops on a busy itinerary. The stories are packed with inspiration and insights for your next trip, including how to find the best gelato in Italy, how to select the best produce at a Provençal market, how to navigate Spain’s confusing tapas scene, and how to survive the experience of driving in Sicily (hint: just go numb). And you’ll get a reality check for every traveler’s "dream job": researching and writing guidebooks; guiding busloads of Americans on tours around Europe; scouting and producing a travel TV show; and working with Rick Steves and his merry band of travelers. It’s a candid account of how the sausage gets made in the travel business—told with warts-and-all honesty and a sense of humor. For Rick Steves fans, or anyone who loves Europe, The Temporary European is inspiring, insightful, and fun.
