!!!Memoiren

Memoirs: Autobiographies of leading personalities of public life, who 
frequently combine their recollection of events with the justification 
of their actions. This literary genre, which had already become known 
in Austria by the late Middle Ages ("Weisskunig" and 
"Theuerdank" by Emperor Maximilian I), has regained 
considerable popularity since the end of the 19th century. In recent 
times, important memoirs have been written by Federal Chancellors J. 
Klaus and B. Kreisky and others. K. Waldheim's memoirs gave rise to 
considerable controversy in 1986.
