    Let \((M_i,J_i,h_i)\), \(i=,2, \dots,l\), be compact Kähler-Einstein manifolds with positive first Chern class. The first Chern class \(c_1(M_i)\) of \(M_i\) can be written as \(p_i \alpha_i\), where \(\alpha_i\) is indivisible and \(p_i\) is positive integer. Let \(M=M_1 \times M_2 \times \cdots \times M_l\) and \(q_1,q_2, \dots, q_l\) be nonzero integers. The integral cohomology class \(q_1\pi^*_1 \alpha_1+ \cdots +q_l \pi^*_l \alpha_l\) is the Euler class of a principal circle bundle \(P_{q_1, \dots, q_l}\) over \(M\). Let \(V_{q_1, \dots, q_l}\), \(W_{q_1, \dots, q_l}\) and \(\overline W_{q_1, \dots, q_l}\) denote the total space of the associated complex line bundle, \(S^2\)-bundle, and \(\mathbb{R} P^2\)-bundle of \(P_{q_1, \dots, q_l}\), respectively. In the paper under review, the authors construct new Einstein metrics and Einstein-Weyl structures on these spaces under various additional conditions. These new Einstein metrics are Hermitian but in general not Kähler with respect to the natural induced complex structure on the total spaces. It is worth noticing that these Einstein metrics represent different generalizations of the well-known Einstein metrics found by L. Bérard-Bergery, D. Page, C. Pope, N. Koiso, and Y. Sakane.
