""Three Husbands Hoaxed"" is a play written by Tirso de Molina, a Spanish playwright from the 17th century. The play centers around the character of Do�����a Leonor, a young woman who is determined to marry a wealthy man. However, she finds herself in a difficult situation when she falls in love with a poor man named Don Juan. To solve her problem, she comes up with a plan to trick three wealthy men into marrying her, only to reveal her true intentions to them after the fact. The play explores themes of love, greed, and deception, and features a cast of colorful characters who each have their own motivations and desires. With its witty dialogue, clever plot twists, and engaging characters, ""Three Husbands Hoaxed"" is a classic work of Spanish literature that continues to captivate audiences to this day.

'I wanted to reveal the soil, milieu, or social sphere and situation, from which the contributions of Vienna to European civilisation have sprung... I hope it is not my incurable love for my native city which makes me believe that Vienna is still important in the world of today, through all that is alive in its past, present and future...' Ilsa Barea, from her Preface (1966)This fascinating, learned yet highly personal survey explores the legend of Vienna, from frontier fortress and melting pot to the culturally rich centrepiece of the Hapsburg Empire, through two world wars and the grave damage inflicted by Hitler.'A fascinating account, so rich in texture, a book in which history and landscape, personalities and politics and culture combine to produce a living picture.' C. V. Wedgwood'Neither the treacly legend, nor the acid anti-legend, but a delicate and scholarly panorama.' Arthur Koestler
