        Alexandra - die letzte Zarin

        by Gunna Wendt

        Sie war eine der mächtigsten Frauen der Welt: Alexandra Fjodorowna, die letzte Zarin. Bereits im Alter von 12 Jahren traf die gebürtige Prinzessin Alix von Hessen den russischen Thronfolger Nikolaus. Trotz großer Widerstände heiratete das Paar zehn Jahre später, und Alix wurde mit 23 Jahren Zarin von Russland. Von den kaiserlichen Verwandten ebenso wie von politischen Gegnern verachtet und verleumdet, wurde aus der schüchternen jungen Frau eine durchsetzungsfähige Herrscherin, die für ihre neue Heimat kämpfte. Doch die drohende Katastrophe konnte sie nicht verhindern … Gunna Wendt schildert das glanzvolle und dramatische Leben der Alexandra Fjdorowna. Sie erzählt von der starken Frau an der Seite des letzten Zaren, vom Kampf der liebevollen Mutter um das Leben ihres Sohnes, von der verhängnisvollen Freundschaft zu dem umstrittenen Wanderprediger und Wunderheiler Rasputin und von ihrem tragischen Ende während der Oktoberrevolution.

        Our Democracy in Danger

        Hatred and attacks against volunteers,journalists and politicians

        by Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger,Gunna Wendt

        We experience in our online world as well as in our ‘real lives’ an increase in slander and abuse, intimidation, hatred and even physical violence against individuals who are committed to our society. If such attacks discourage people from getting involved, this endangers our democracy that depends on participation. Lawyer Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger and the writer Gunna Wendt interviewed ten committed volunteers about the causes, circumstances and consequences of hatred and violence. These visceral portraits provide a telling insight into the dangers, while showing that we can and must counter the degradation of political rhetoric with composure, respect and tolerance – and with effective measures to protect those at risk.

        Culture in Manchester

        Institutions and urban change since 1850

        by Janet Wolff, Mike Savage

        This book brings together studies of cultural institutions in Manchester from 1850 to the present day, giving an unprecedented account of the city's cultural evolution. These bring to light the remarkable range of Manchester's contribution to modern cultural life, including the role of art education, popular theatre, religion, pleasure gardens, clubs and societies. The chapters show the resilience and creativity of Manchester's cultural institutions since 1850, challenging any simple narrative of urban decline following the erosion of Lancashire's industrial base, at the same time illustrating the range of activities across the social classes. This book will appeal to everyone interested in the cultural life of the city of Manchester, including cultural historians, sociologists and urban geographers, as well as general readers with interests in the city. It is written by leading international authorities, including Viv Gardner, Stephen Milner, Mike Savage, Bill Williams and Janet Wolff.
