As usual, articles span history, art, archaeology, literature, and the contemporary world. My favorites were those on Henri Rousseau, the Brothers Grimm, and Vienna.

I gained better understanding of Rousseau’s art and life. He was a man who quit his job as a toll collector after 7 of his 9 children and his first wife died, took up painting out of the blue, and channeled exotic dream worlds in challenging an art world who couldn’t understand if he was an amateur with little ability, or was showing them something new.

In the article on the Brothers Grimm, in addition to providing examples of the horror in the original stories before Disney watered them all down, it gave their story, as well went into details on primitive German language, which, along with culture, they were trying to restore.

“The Last Waltz of Vienna” covers the history behind Franz Joseph and his family: brother Maximillian executed in Mexico in 1867, only son Rudolf committing a murder-suicide in 1889, his wife murdered by an anarchist in 1898, and his nephew Franz Ferdinand assassinated in 1914 to start WWI; the empire would fall two years after his death in 1916. It also covers the city’s architecture, café culture, and tidbits such as a young artist named Adolf Hitler struggling in flophouses for five years, complete with a sketch of him by an Austrian classmate. It also has a stunning picture of Klimt’s ‘Judith and Holofernes’.

There is of course more: recent Minoan gold found in Crete, an article on Russia and China through the years and presently (interesting given it was written in 1968), and the Tower of London, with its famous inhabitants and executions, Saint Paul’s wanderings to preach Christianity, and famous authors who whet their teeth on service during WWI.

Something for everyone; this is a great hardbound series. ( )
