Following on from Book 7's thematic focus on Vienna's historic-modern coffeehouse cultural evolution, Book 8 acknowledges the first coffeehouses established in conjunction with the construction of the legendry Ringstrasse (1857-1914). Whilst many coffeehouses/cafes arose during this era (which I discuss throughout my Book Series), Book 8 decidedly details the very first ones established during the Ring's early inception, including, Caf??? Schwarzenberg, Caf??? Ritter, and Caf??? Imperial. In relation to Book 8's conceptual insight towards establishing/established Ring era caf???s, I also refer to Caf??? Sperl - for this is my favourite Ring epoch coffeehouse - founded in 1880, and notable for the Siebener C7 Club's Slavonic-infused arthouse patronage as well as that of Sophia [my lead protagonist] ( See my Book Series). Book 8 underscores core thematic insights framing my Book Series: The first Ringstrasse Coffeehouses and Caf???s. An everlasting testament to the Ring epoch - establishing/ established Ring era coffeehouses; Caf??? Schwarzenberg (1861), the Ring, first coffeehouse for women, Loos, and Fairtrade; Caf??? Ritter (1867), 'The Ritter': the 'Knight' in shining armour on Mariahilfer Strasse; Caf??? Imperial (1873). From Royal Residence to Hotel Patronage; plus, my conclusive insight: crediting the Slavonic Contribution: defining Ring Caf???s. Originally, there were more than 30 caf???s on the Ringstrasse (Friehs 2022c; ibid 2022d). Schwarzenberg is regarded as the 'last' survivor of the Ring epoch (Caf??? Schwarzenberg 2022a; ibid 2022b). that is: the oldest surviving customary Viennese caf??? on the Ringstrasse. It was built in 1861, encompassing the mid-late 19th century era, relative to Habsburgs' reconstruction efforts (Friehs 2022a; ibid 2022b; ibid 2022c). The 19th century era of historicism, is defined by the building of landmark Viennese cafes, including Sperl, Landtmann, Br???unerhof, Central and Savoy, to name a few (Caf??? Sperl 2017a; Vienna Film Commission 2020; Caf??? Central 2021a; Vienna Guide 2021; Caf??? Landtmann 2022a; ibid 2022e; ibid 2022g; Caf??? Savoy 2022; Vienna Now 2022a; ibid 2022d; ibid 2022f). In relation to my Book Series' conceptual focus on Slavonic enlightenment, all my Books aim to illuminate the empowered entrepreneurial leadership of Slavonic peoples in Vienna's coffeehouse development as well as culinary and patisserie fare ( See my Book Series). As such, Slavonic flair is evident through such peoples' coffeehouse leadership, architectural design works, caf??? patronage, musical prowess, and coffeehouse literature, embellished within Vienna's evolving caf??? society. In my Series, I emphasise the way in which caf???s, espcially those established around the Ring epoch, continue to evoke the Slavonic joy de vivre as an enlightened way of life, omnipresent in Vienna's coffee society, such as: Central, Sacher, Sperl, Sluka, Aida, Hawelka, Kaffee Alt Wien, Jelinek and Kleines, represent West Slavic enlightenment and empowered leadership, framed by an omnipresent joy de vivre (OBL 2020b; Caf??? Central 2021a; ibid 2021b; Caf??? Jelinek 2021a; ibid 2021c; Aida 2022c; ibid 2022d; ibid 2022e; Caf??? Hawelka 2022b; ibid 2022d; Caf??? Sluka 2022b; Kaffee Alt Wien 2022a; Hotel Sacher Vienna 2022d; Lonely Planet 2022a; ibid 2022b; ibid 2022c).
