Beneath this polished veneer, however, the seeds of unrest had been sown by iconoclasts such as Schoenberg, Mahler, Klimt, Schiele, Freud, and Kraus. Vienna 1900 reveals a society lost in the pleasures of its glittering empire but teetering on the brink of a revolution in thought that would change the world forever. (Source: Product description)
