Book 4 (part of my Series on Vienna's Café Culture) continues my articulation of Slavonic entrepreneurship and the joy de vivre (in everyday life)- discursive to the historic-modern evolution of Viennese coffeehouses/cafés (Maleta 2021; ibid 2022; ibid 2023). Following on from Books 1, 2 and 3, Book 4 focusses on the experiences of lead protagonist, Sophia, whose narrative frames my integrated fictional to non-fictional account of Central European coffeehouses/café life. In the context of 2023 (the year and thereafter), I draw upon Sophia's pensive daily visits to Café Sperl, whilst utilising the third and first persons. For it is at Café Sperl where Sophia gages much inspiration in her goals to be an author/writer, striving to integrate sociological-creative writing objectives. I articulate Sophia's joy de vivre within everyday life and retrospective reality through robust Viennese-Slavonic frames of cultural enlightenment/empowerment (See my Book Series). I address Sophia's childhood struggles along with mature retrospections as an adult; her empowerment now is in writing goals, aspiring to contribute touching words to the world's citizenry. Further, my conceptual position is foregrounded by an integrated creative-sociological approach towards retrospective reality, encompassing Vienna's historic-modern coffee society.
Café Sperl is the core setting for my subjective-conceptual analysis, in which I apply robust sociocultural analyses. Arguably, Sperl is framed by its Slavonic heritage, akin to the legendary Siebener- C7 club, patronised by 7 leading creative intellectuals/architects/artists, who mostly originated from Czech/ Bohemian and Slavic lands- once part of the Austro-Hungarian empire (City of Vienna 2013; Café Sperl 2017a; City of Vienna 2018; ibid 2020; ibid 2021a; ibid 2021b; ibid 2021c; 2021d; ibid 2021e; ibid 2021f; ibid 2021g; ibid 2022a; ibid 2022b; Café Sperl 2023). In turn, Sophia, who is of Slavic heritage, embraces this legacy, discursive to historic-current-day climes. While Sophia spent an unhappy childhood/early adulthood in Australia; Vienna (in the year 2023 and thereafter) within a positive framework, shapes her personal and professional writing ambitions: now as a mature, wiser woman. Café Sperl is, therefore, the ideal setting for Sophia's overarching professional-personal goals: to contribute 100 books/accounts/narratives/stories by the age of 85.
