Details about The Grand Spas of Central Europe: A History of Intrigue, Politics, Art, and Healing:
The Grand Spas of Central Europe leads an irresistible tour through the grand spas of Central Europe, tracing their history from classical antiquity to the present but focusing on the spas’ heyday between the French Revolution and World War II. Noted historian David Clay Large vividly shows that fabled “cure-towns” like Baden-Baden, Bad Gastein, and Karlsbad were not just important centers of healing (or attempted healing), but also hotbeds of artistic creation, nests of social intrigue, and gilded venues for high-level politicking.
