Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The era of the Austro-Hungarian Empire occupying the second half of the 19th century is perhaps the most exciting period in the modern history of this region. In an atmosphere of increasing tension, as an empire doomed to collapse, it saw unparalleled economic, cultural and intellectual achievements, fundamentally influencing the cultures of the people and nationalities living there -both positively and negatively. This new study of the dual monarchy by accomplished Hungarian historian Andras Gero takes a modern look at the period by analysing the body, spirit and soul of the Empire, as well as exploring the daily lives of its citizens, problems of territory and nationality, and finishing with a look at the heritage it left behind.
