The book is unique in describing points of interest in the woods which surround Vienna on the south and west. Points of interest such as churches, monuments, restaurants, homes and palaces are described in the detail ...

The Seasons of Rome: A Journal

5 reviews
Paul Hofmann

Holt Paperbacks, 1999

Get the feel of Rome, not a tour guide.
As usual, before a trip to other country, I searched for a book that would give me a feel for the cities I visit, rather than a tour guide. This book excelled in this task and made my visit to Rome even fuller and more enjoyable. If you are looking for a book about Rome, its people, their habbits and a little glimpse into their rich history, this book is a rare find. The pace is calm, the ...

The Umbria: Italy's Timeless Heart

1 review
Paul Hofmann

Henry Holt & Company, 1999

Not up to old standards
For those who read THE SEASONS OF ROME and enjoyed it, as I did, UMBRIA will most likely be a disappointment. If you enjoy travelogues then you may yet like this book. I, on the other hand, do not care where every little painting of the Madonna resides, or where St. Francis spent every night when he was outside his normal abode, ad nauseum. The author writes as if those who read his pennings ...

The Viennese: Splendor, Twilight, and Exile

Paul Hofmann

Anchor, 1989

Scraping a brilliant surface for the dark underbelly
When in Vienna, I often visit the military museum where, encased in glass, is the blood stained uniform of Franz Ferdinand; nearby is the bullet ridden car in which he and his wife were shot. I visit crypts, study the strange configurations of the Pestilence monument, and listen to the strains of Mozart arias. Vienna: coffee houses, Gemutlichkeit, heuriger wine, women of infinite grace and ...

That Fine Italian Hand

Paul Hofmann

Holt Paperbacks, 1991

That fine Hofmann sensibility ...
Any American with a genuine interest in Italy and its people should read all the tales of Hofmann on the subject. Begin anywhere, but do not neglect That Fine Italian Hand. An expatriot Austrian since the eve of WWII, Hofmann describes l'Italia with the intimacy of 50-odd years living there - combined with the objectivity of one who admits he will never BE an Italian. Far from being over ...

Paul Hofmann

Henry Holt & Co, 1988

A great read for an interested reader
I lived in Naples from 1991 through 1994 in the days prior the the Internet. I LOVED my stay there and daydream about it even today. I was a single 21 year old male and could not get enough of wandering through the country and meeting its people. For me it was a very important part of my life - not only was I in a foreign country, but also finding myself, finally emerging out of the shadow of my ...
