of Vienna's highest degrees along with academic accolades. Women were, incidentally, also becoming
objects of medical and academic fascination - most famously in the work of University of Vienna professor, Sigmund Freud. Freud had been lecturing at the medical school since 1886, but he gained prominence as one of the few world-famous scholars still living and working after the war and opened a psychoanalytic clinic in Vienna in 1924.

the Nazi Party of Germany. ln 1923, encouraged by regular audiences at his beer hall speeches in Munich, Hitler attempted to seize power at the Beer Hall Putsch. He failed, but his supporters formed youth troups, assembling what became the Hitler Youth in 1926. Bruckner wrote Poins of Youth that to touch the suffering of a teneration on the brink - to use the the intimate, domestic travails of one circle of friends to peer into an epochal struggle to stay awake in the "City of Dreams." Though dependent on the particular upheavals of a distant time and place, these characters' journeys feel almost contemporary in fresh translation by Martin Crimp making it all the more difficult for their disillusionment to be casually dismissed.
