View Rights PortalDer vierjährige Charles ist mit dabei, als seine Mutter, Elizabeth II., 1952 gekrönt wird. Fünf Jahre später ernennt die Queen ihn zum Prince of Wales und damit offiziell zum Thronfolger. Der erste Royal mit Hochschulabschluss, der zu Schulzeiten gern Theater spielte, engagiert sich für die Benachteiligten der Gesellschaft und setzt sich sehr früh mit großem Engagement für Umweltschutz, Nachhaltigkeit und einen besseren Umgang des Menschen mit der Natur ein. Anfangs nahm man ihn nicht ernst, denn er war seiner Zeit weit voraus. Nun tritt er in die Fußstapfen seiner Mutter und wird König. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Künstlerin, Pilotin oder Wissenschaftler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.
This is the most thoroughly investigated edition of Volpone to date, based on a wider collation of the 1607 quarto and 1616 folio versions than was previously possible. It calls into question several accepted textual conclusions. The introduction sets Volpone in the context of Jonson's career at the time of writing and introduces new material on its relation to the Reynard beast epic and the commedia dell' arte. Ambiguities in the play are discussed with reference to two Renaissance perversions of the myth of the Golden Age. Particular attention is paid to the rhythmic effects of the play in performance, especially interweavings of the main plot and subplot. Fresh suggestions are made about the play's opening and its controversial conclusion in the light of experiments that have been made in performance since Volpone 's stage revival in 1921. The modernized text is accompanied by full commentary, notes and illustrations. The appendices include a discussion by John Cutts of the original music, passages translated from the original sources and analogues, and a full record of the play's modern stage history, its many adaptations, and its transformations into opera, musical comedy, film and television. ;
At the end of July 1588, Philip II's Armada of 130 ships set sail against England. Within a month they were condemned to defeat. The authors spent 13 years reassessing the profusion of untapped documents, diaries and private papers lying forgotten in Spanish and Dutch archives. This material has been augmented by underwater discoveries from the Armada wrecks. ;
