The assassination of Austria-Hungary's Archduke Franz Ferdinand didn't just ignite the fuse to the tinderbox that was Europe in the early years of the twentieth century. When war was declared and the soldiers set off to fight the "war to end all wars," World War I realigned nations, sent their economies reeling, and toppled thrones and classes. Hungary was a particularly vivid example of how quickly a nation's fate could plummet from empire to supplicant.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a figure that is cemented in the annals of history as one of the greatest composers of all time. A fascinating and enigmatic character, Mozart was hailed in his own lifetime as a child prodigy and a musical genius. His travels throughout Europe exposed him to art, music, and education, offering plentiful opportunities for his gifts as a composer and musician to evolve and thrive. Despite his preternatural talents, the artist struggled significantly throughout his life, and he died in his prime.

Risolto il problema della successione con la "Prammatica sanzione" (1713), l'ascesa al trono d'Austria della figlia di Carlo VI, Maria Teresa d'Asburgo (1717-1780), aprì una fase di riforme anche per l'Austria. L'intero apparato di governo fu rinnovato, furono unificate le cancellerie d'Austria e di Boemia e le rispettive corti di appello. Maria Teresa fondò inoltre collegi per l'educazione e la formazione del personale statale.

Il ramo austriaco degli Asburgo (che detenevano il potere imperiale anche in Spagna e in molte altre regioni d'Europa) governò l'Austria, la Boemia e l'Ungheria per tutto il XVII secolo, non senza conflitti e guerre religiose, anche importanti, per la supremazia nei territori tedeschi, come la sanguinosa Guerra dei Trent'anni (1618-1648). L'audiolibro, oltre a raccontare la storia di questa guerra, la crisi del germanesimo e le vicende della dinastia cattolica, descrive la vita di corte nel secolo del Barocco e la rinascita della capitale Vienna.

The life of Theodor Herzl (1860–1904) was as puzzling as it was brief. How did this cosmopolitan and assimilated European Jew become the leader of the Zionist movement? How could he be both an artist and a statesman, a rationalist and an aesthete, a stern moralist yet possessed of deep, and at times dark, passions? And why did scores of thousands of Jews, many of them from traditional, observant backgrounds, embrace Herzl as their leader?
