The concept isn't bad, although even the author admits that deciding what fits is difficult. I certainly would have chosen different items, and more and more it seems to come down to a bunch of positive anecdotes about Austria in history. Many of the chosen anecdotes don't really seem to have had as much influence as the 'Sternstunden' ought to; others aren't really 'Stunden' but things that happened gradually.
Most of the chapters are too long and don't stay on topic. This is even worse when two chapters are related, as there has been no attempt to avoid repetition. On other occasions mistakes have crept in. Am I sure? How old was Prince Ludwig when he married Maria? On page 32 he is 10, but on page 33 he is 9. Obviously, it doesn't make a lot of difference, but it does raise questions about the author's scholarship. Can I trust other details?… (altro)
