Dear Reader, Please accept my invitation to go back in time with award-winning epic, THE LAST WALTZ: A NOVEL OF LOVE AND WAR. Enter the glittering pre-war world of Amalia Faulhaber, a Viennese socialite with an inconvenient conscience. Meet the men in her life: Eberhard von Waldburg, a German soldier, cursed with the gentle soul of a violinist; Dr. Andrzej Zaleski, a charming but fiercely nationalistic Pole; Baron Rudolf von Schoenenburg, a misogynistic aristocrat with a generous heart and "cobwebby rooms" in his troubled mind. Then, follow these characters through the "war to end all wars," the Austrian democratic experiment, and Austria's final decent into Hitler's fascism. Why did the greatest empire in the world collapse? During these tumultuous years, Amalia develops from an astute but sheltered debutante into a woman who would be extraordinary in any age. Will she and her family survive Hitler's purge of prominent dissidents after the Anschluss? Enter at "contact me" on last-waltz.com between November 8th through November 19th for the five signed book giveaway! Also listed is a fun contest: who was the most well-known artist of the Austrian art nouveau movement? Winner will receive a brilliant poster of said artist's masterpiece. Drawings for all prizes will occur on November 20, and be announced on GGVandagriffBlog.com. Aufwiedersehen, G.G. Vandagriff www.GGVandagriff.com GGVandagriffBlog.com last-waltz.com |
