Von der Hörlgasse zur Revolution is Robert Foltin’s third novel recounting events in revolutionary Vienna during the years 1918 and 1919. The cover design was developed in use of contemporary photographs taken in Vienna by Andrea Salzmann. It follows the sequential design of the novel trilogy

Blurb:
On June 15, 1919, the Vienna city guard opens fire on demonstrators who are trying to advance through Hörlgasse towards the police detention house. Dozens of dead and injured remain lying on the street.
This defeat calls for renewed discussions about the question of organization within and outside revolutionary groups. By now, Steffi, Jakob, and Katharina are experienced, both in terms of political activities and their sexual relationships – or so they believe. In contrast, Hacki works with Viennese counter-revolutionaries against the revolution.
