Notes
- 1.
Kakania is the ironic name writer Robert Musil gave to what was known as the Austro-Hungarian Empire of Franz Joseph. Empire of many ethnic groups, in contrast with each other, driven by a corrupt government, collapsed with the First World War. The derision, due to the image evoked by the sound of the word Kakania, is clear in all European languages.
