Rezension von Rudi Seidel / Redaktion auto & modell

Inhalt

Obwohl es in Österreichs Geschichte eigene Fahrzeugmarken und Konstruktionen wie Steyr oder geniale Fahrzeugentwickler wie Ferdinand Porsche gegeben hat, waren historische Autominiaturen aus Österreich weitgehend unbekannt.

Als der Autor ein altes Spielzeugauto mit „Made in Austria“ und „Igri“ Beschriftung auf der Bodenplatte in seine Hände bekam, begann er sich zu fragen: „Wer ist Igri, und was gibt es noch?“ Unbekannte Spielzeugautoformen weckten den Forschergeist weitere frühe Austro Minis aufzustöbern. Nachdem die Kollektion nach vier Jahrzehnten zu einer weltweit einzigartigen Sammlung angewachsen war, entstand die Idee, die Geschichte der Fundstücke genauer zu dokumentieren.

Mit dem Buch „Historische Spielzeugautos aus Österreich / Toy Cars Made in Austria“ schauen wir durch ein Vergrößerungsglas auf kleine Autos in eine lang vergessene Industrie- und Alltagskultur. Neben Steyr- und Volkswagen- Modellen, Traktoren und US-Straßenkreuzern, den Wiener Linien und vielen Werbemitteln gab es unter anderem den berühmten Igel Mecki auf einem Puch Moped.

Hersteller wie Proxima, Semperit, Kleinbahn, Gowi, Roco, Igri, CN, Artus oder Miro laden zum Entdecken und Forschen ein und lassen Österreichs Verkehrswesen von einst en miniature Revue passieren.

Content

While Austria has had its own vehicle makes and models such as Steyr and is the birthplace of ingenious vehicle developers like Ferdinand Porsche, historical car miniatures from Austria have largely remained unexplored.

Still a child, when author Marco Annau stumbled across an old toy car marked on the base with “Made in Austria” and “Igri”, he asked himself, “Who is Igri, and what else might be out there?” The shapes of unknown toy cars awakened his exploratory spirit, and he began the search for more early Austrian car miniatures. Four decades later, his collection has grown into a collection that is unique in the world, documented here in this book.

Toy Cars Made in Austria takes a detailed look at these small cars from a long-forgotten industrial and everyday driving culture. In addition to Steyr and Volkswagen models, tractors and US road cruisers, the Wiener Linien, a plethora of promo cars, and much more, we are introduced to the famous hedgehog Mecki … on a Puch moped! Manufacturers including Proxima, Semperit, Kleinbahn, Gowi, Roco, Igri, CN, Artus, and Miro invite readers to explore and discover, letting Austria’s roads of yesteryear pass by in miniature.

Jone's Tome
This book seems more likely to be enjoyed by literary academics than by folks looking for a good story. While Henry Fielding is indeed a learned man of letters and does write in a fine and high style with many subordinate clauses, the actual substance thereof is no better than more earthy pedestrian fare. To put it plainly, I found most of the book a rather tedious slog. This is my personal subjective opinion only as I do believe Henry Fielding is well esteemed by serious literary scholars who undoubtedly see the matter quite differently. I am judging this book purely by my own personal enjoyment of the actual narrative and plot construction, and by my difficulty in teasing out the subordinate clauses which are so bound up with this age of writing. Imagine a very learned and erudite professor trying to tell you a common bawdy tale, but taking forever to do it while using the most stuffy language. I had thought that my deeper background in reading many Victorian era novels would qualify me to enjoy this one, but the language was a little too dense to make it an enjoyable read. I was however able to follow the story as well as the side epistles the author directly addresses the reader with (which I find to be an annoying device also much used in that era). I did read the whole thing and did take pleasure in some parts, but I must confess my bias towards this earlier era of novel writing. It takes very learned men of their age and has them writing long-winded tales of inferior construction when compared against later centuries. I know this is not their fault any more than you can blame a champion athlete of his time for having his record broken decades later when methods have universally improved.

Text is nearly 300 years old…!!! 😅😅😅
Read this publication alongside Cliff Notes. It’s a fun book, but the Latin poems and phrases can be intimidating. In addition, watch the movie. It’s an old text, so utilize resources to develop your understanding. 📚📖📙📘📗📕

The book itself is five stars!
This is a review of the Oxford Classic Kindle edition. The book itself is one of the greatest novels ever written; this is maybe the third time I've read it. Fielding is a master of irony, by which I mean genuine irony, not the mean sarcasm that often passes for irony these days. Fielding is never mean-spirited. His irony is generous and his humor is benevolent. His characters are three-dimensional, never all good or all bad. Before reading this, I had been re-reading several Dickens novels, and the contrast is enormous. A Dickens villain is a villain to the core, and his heroes (and especially his heroines) are saints. Tom instead is a young man with many faults, but a great heart. Sophia, his beloved, is a genuinely good person, but she's got a certain fiery spirit, and has her moments of doubt and remorse. I advise you to read every word of this novel. It's divided into books, and the first chapter of each book is an address to the reader, expounding Fielding's theories on literature and on human nature. An impatient reader might be tempted to skip these, but that would mean missing a lot of worthwhile and enjoyable reading. I have some quibbles with the Kindle edition. There were some mistakes in the passage from print to pixels, but they were not excessive. The biggest problem is that the excellent notes often have a reference to another note, with the page number, e.g., a note might be only "See note on page 85." As the book proceeds, more and more of the notes are references to earlier notes. However, there is never a link to these earlier notes, and when reading a Kindle, finding the note on page 85 is not an easy matter. Other than that, the Kindle edition is a pleasure to read.
