Die deutsche Autorin Christine Heimannsberg präsentiert mit ihrer Debüt-Trilogie „Gelobtes Land“ eine ungewöhnliche, spannende Dystopie, die ökologische wie humanistische Themen geschickt im neuen Genre zusammenführt.

September 2024Weihnachten in Kirkby Cottage
Britische Weihnachten und ein Happy End mit Hindernissen.
by Anthony Trollope, Irmela Schautz, Andrea Ott
»Eigentlich ist Weihnachten langweilig.« Nur ein kleiner Satz, aber für Isabel Lownd unverzeihlich, zumal er aus dem Mund des jungen Mannes kommt, in den sie sich – noch im Geheimen – unsterblich verliebt hat: Maurice Archer, ein junger Gutsbesitzer aus der Gegend und Freund der Familie, verbringt die Feiertage mit der Pastorenfamilie Lownd, und auch er ist unsterblich in Isabel verliebt. Doch die junge Frau, für die Weihnachten der schönste Tag des Jahres ist, ist tief gekränkt, und Maurice gibt sich alle Mühe, die Wogen wieder zu glätten und dem Fest der Liebe doch noch etwas abzugewinnen. Wird Isabel ihm seinen Fauxpas verzeihen? Eine herrlich vergnügliche Weihnachtsgeschichte um zwei Verliebte, deren Annäherung ausgerechnet an den Feiertagen allen möglichen Missverständnissen unterliegt – mit bestem britischem Humor von Anthony Trollope.

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2020Christmas in nineteenth-century England
by Neil Armstrong
Whether for reasons of family, food, shopping or religion, it's hard to imagine a British winter without Christmas, or to think of a more traditional national festival. But how and when did Christmas cards, pantomimes and advertising become part of that tradition? This book looks at how people in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries experienced Christmas and how today's priorities and rituals began and endured. It explores the origins of our deeply held notions around Christmas traditions and demonstrates how those ideas were in fact shaped by the fast-paced modernisation of English life. A fascinating account of the development of many things we now take for granted, the book touches on the history of childhood and the family, philanthropy and work, and the beginnings of consumerism that shaped the Christmas we know today.

Humanities & Social SciencesSeptember 2010Christmas in nineteenth-century England
by Neil Armstrong, Jeffrey Richards
Despite its enduring popularity as a national festival, Christmas has been largely neglected by English historians. Neil Armstrong offers the first study to examine both the experience and representation of Christmas during the formative period of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This book explores the origins of our deeply held notions of the traditional nature of Christmas and demonstrates how they were shaped by English modernity. A study of both continuity and change, Christmas in nineteenth-Ccntury England makes an important contribution to cultural and social history, and is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of childhood, the family, philanthropy, work and consumerism. Scholarly yet accessible, it will be enjoyed by academics, students and the general public alike. ;

Glück im Einklang mit der Natur | Für alle, die englische Gärten lieben
by Isabelle Groeningen
Reich bebildert mit atmosphärischen Fotografien und Illustrationen Als Isabelle Van Groeningen ihre erste Stelle beim National Trust antrat, zog sie aufs Land, ins malerische Dörfchen Coleshill.

Romantisch verwunschen und doch mit Liebe gestaltet und kultiviert: Ein eigener Cottage-Garten ist nach wie vor der große Traum vieler Gärtner:innen. Die Expertin Isabelle Van Groeningen erzählt in diesem reich bebilderten Band davon, wie er Wirklichkeit werden kann.
