<x-flowed>Dear Czernowitzers:

I just noticed a fairly new book published by Andrei Corbea-Hoisie:
Czernowitzer Geschichten (Czernowitzer Stories), 2003, price 35.00
Euro. ISBN 3-205-77034-X. Boehlau, Wien, Austria.

See the web site:

To paraphrase (with the help of Google.com) the info in German at
this web site:

The author pursues the emergence of the urban culture of Czernowitz
as a Central European enclave and draws upon the process of a socio-
cultural modernization, where social, ethnical, linguistic, religious
and territorial contrasts clash rather suddenly. The book treats
milestones in history, which begin with the 1775 connection to north
moldavia, and to the Viennese / Bukowina territory of Austria until
today - also, the "Jewish" influence upon the development and
existence of a civil German-language Czernowitzer "world".
