Beschreibung

In "Down the Rhine; Or, Young America in Germany," Oliver Optic masterfully weaves a narrative that transports readers through the picturesque landscapes and rich cultural tapestry of 19th-century Germany. With vivid descriptions and engaging dialogue, Optic employs a blend of adventure and educational themes, characteristic of his broader oeuvre aimed at young readers. The novel showcases a distinct literary style, combining travelogue with moral instruction, as the protagonists embark on a journey that not only explores the Rhine River's geographical wonders but also grapples with themes of personal growth, courage, and cultural understanding in a rapidly industrializing world. Oliver Optic, born James Otis Kaler, was a prominent American author, gaining recognition for his children's literature that emphasized adventure and moral fortitude. His experiences as a teacher and sailor profoundly influenced his writing, leading him to create stories that emphasized the importance of education, exploration, and character development. "Down the Rhine" reflects his commitment to educating young minds through captivating narratives that encourage curiosity and a greater understanding of global cultures. This novel is recommended for readers of all ages who seek a thoughtful exploration of cultural exchange, adventure, and personal growth. Optic's work not only entertains but also educates, making it an essential read for those interested in American literature's intersection with global perspectives.

    “With her typically American intrepidness, her thirst for a good story and her power of observation, Hermance closes-in on the Portuguese she encounters along the way, bringing to us a psychological picture of the Portuguese individual and society that you won´t find on expat guides. Lastly, her unusual grasp for ´Portuguese quaintness´ also makes this book worth buying.” David Peres Rebelo

    A unique, funny picture of Britain... A love letter to bookshops and the vagaries of public transport.' Richard Osman 
     
    Why play to 12,000 people when you can play to 12? In Autumn 2021, Robin Ince's stadium tour with Professor Brian Cox was postponed due to the pandemic. Rather than do nothing, he decided instead to go on a tour of over a hundred bookshops in the UK, from Wigtown to Penzance; from Swansea to Margate. Packed with witty anecdotes and tall tales, Bibliomaniac takes the reader on a journey across Britain as Robin explores his lifelong love of bookshops and books - and also tries to find out just why he can never have enough of them. It is the story of an addiction and a romance, and also of an occasional points failure just outside Oxenholme.

    A hill is not a mountain. You climb it for you, then you put it quietly inside you, in a cupboard marked 'Quite A Lot Of Hills' where it makes its infinitesimal mark on who you are. Ring the Hill is a book written around, and about, hills: it includes a northern hill, a hill that never ends and the smallest hill in England. Each chapter takes a type of hill - whether it's a knoll, cap, cliff, tor or even a mere bump - as a starting point for one of Tom's characteristically unpredictable and wide-ranging explorations. Tom's lyrical, candid prose roams from an intimate relationship with a particular cove on the south coast, to meditations on his great-grandmother and a lesson on what goes into the mapping of hills themselves. Because a good walk in the hills is never just about the hills: you never know where it might lead.

    Dynastic Legacy explores the far-reaching influence of three of China’s most remarkable dynasties—the Song, Ming, and Qing—each of which played a pivotal role in shaping Chinese society, governance, innovation, and culture. From the artistic brilliance and technological advances of the Song, to the maritime exploration and architectural wonders of the Ming, to the imperial dominance and eventual collapse of the Qing, this book offers a comprehensive look at how dynastic leadership shaped the trajectory of Chinese history. 
    The Song Dynasty is renowned for ushering in an age of innovation, commerce, and cultural richness. It laid the foundation for modern banking, expanded printing technology, and saw a flourishing of Confucian philosophy and visual arts. The Ming Dynasty, famous for the Forbidden City and the voyages of Zheng He, emphasized stability, infrastructure, and defense—leaving a powerful legacy of order and cultural refinement. The Qing Dynasty, the last imperial dynasty, extended China’s borders to their greatest historical extent and governed through a complex yet effective administrative system—before internal decay and foreign pressure brought about its end. 
    With detailed accounts of key emperors, political shifts, societal structures, and enduring cultural contributions, Dynastic Legacy paints a vivid portrait of the challenges and triumphs that defined imperial rule. This volume offers readers an engaging and educational journey through the dynasties that shaped modern China, highlighting both the brilliance and the burdens of centralized power.
