A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Through the streets of Vienna rode the shade of the hero. Prince Eugene. Prinz Eugen, der edle Bitter .. .youth and age were humming the same old song. Youth and age thronged in the highways of the city, ardent, enthusiastic, with clenched fits threatening Belgrade. Lieutenant Hans Zillner stood watching the crowd, noting the chaotic beauty in its unity of purpose: the common eagerness for war. Soberly critical as was his nature, he could not help feeling a thrill at the subjective power of these masses that swirled like a flood over the streets and squares. Everywhere, at any time, the crowd was always ready for a patriotic demonstration, with hoarse-throated shoutings of excited zeal. But to-day the street scene had a tinge of something more than this something almost awe-inspiring. Streets and byeways, and the broader thoroughfares, were filled with this new spirit, that surged abroad, sweeping all before it, in that fifth hour of the afternoon on the 1st of August 1914. There was but little sign of haste ;each man was taking time, as it were, to fall into the new order of things. At every corner, heavy-lettered placards flung out the command :G eneral Mobilisation. The young officer strolled down the Ring. Many women passed him, and as he looked into their faces he seemed to read there earnestness, and something of fear, but fear under restraint. The mens faces, too, he studied curiously. Most of them, he fancied, wore an absent look, as if the mind were occupied within, uncertain of its attitude as yet. Only a few walked boldly and jauntily, with heads in air young officers these, for the most part.
