Lost City Hardcover – January 1, 1964 by John Gunther
 
This many-faceted, eloquent story captures all the enigmatic charm of old Vienna - its levity mixed with wry despair, its grandeur and graciousness - in the days when stern realities could be felt beneath the lovely flickering surface as the incomparable city slipped irrevocably toward its doom. One community managed to survive those years when everything seemed to be disintegrating into corruption and violence.
