Book recommendations set in or around Salzburg

The Salzburg Connection by Helen MacInnes

While not strictly set in Salzburg , the author Stefan Zweig made his home from 1919 to 1934 on The Kapuzinerberg in Salzburg . ( As I have been long enamored of his work , I made a pilgrimage there on my recent visit to the city ) Here is a summary of Zweig's background based on his memoirs " The World of Yesterday " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_of_Yesterday and this work of fiction is one of his best known - " Letter From an Unknown Woman " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_from_an_Unknown_Woman

Steven, did you have a chance to visit the Stefan Zweig exhibition 2021/22 presented in the Literature Museum in Vienna? Fortunately I had, and it was fascinating.

Here is a video about this exhibition, commissioned by the Austrian Foreign Ministry, to be presented in Austrian Culture Institutes abroad. (I have not searched whether it is available in different languages.)

In 2016 a very touching movie was released, describing Stefan Zweig's last six years before committing suicide in 1942.

Hello wmt1 , Thank you for this . We were not able to see the exhibition in Vienna since the pandemic kept us home for Autumn of 2020 and 2021 . We did return last Autumn ( 2022 ) after it had closed . The video on YouTube , in German , doesn't present a problem since I can change the settings on my computer and obtain English subtitles . I'll watch it tomorrow . I was unaware of the film , but just ordered a copy from Amazon . Since I have a region free , code free Blu-ray player Ill be able to watch it , delivery promised for June .. As I'm sure you know , Zweig spent some of his time writing " The World of Yesterday " in Ossining , NY , about twenty minutes from my home , in The Lower Hudson Valley . I assume you are familiar with the 1948 film of " Letter From an Unknown Woman " ? I first watched it when I was sixteen ( 77 , now ) It always brings me to tears

Ripley Under Ground by Patricia Highsmith is partially set in Salzburg. Sequel to The Talented Mr. Ripley.

I concur with the Stefan Zweig recommendation. I really love The Post Office Girl (posthumously published and unfinished).

stehen, steven, wmt1 and History Traveler,

Thanks very much for your good reading recommendations as well as the Stefan Zweig mentions. I did not realize that he was the inspiration for the Grand Budapest Hotel film.
