Synopsis

In "The Children of the World," Paul Heyse crafts a poignant narrative that delves into the lives of diverse children across various cultures. Utilizing a rich tapestry of lyrical prose and vivid imagery, Heyse explores themes of innocence, adventure, and the universal bond of childhood, juxtaposing joyful experiences with the harsh realities of life. The book is positioned within the context of late 19th-century European literature, amidst an increasing fascination with childhood as a distinct and significant stage of life, as well as a burgeoning interest in cross-cultural narratives. Paul Heyse, a Nobel Prize laureate, was acutely aware of the complexities of human experience, having been influenced by his extensive travels and exposure to different cultures throughout his life. His literary career, marked by a blend of romanticism and realism, reflects a deep empathy for the struggles and joys of individuals, particularly the young. Heyse's ability to intertwine personal and societal narratives makes "The Children of the World" not just a collection of stories, but a profound exploration of the youthful spirit. This book is a must-read for those who wish to gain insights into the diverse experiences of childhood across the globe. It appeals not only to literary enthusiasts but also to educators and parents who seek to understand the complexities of growing up in an increasingly connected world. Heyse's masterful storytelling will resonate with readers of all ages, inviting them to reflect on the fond and bittersweet memories of their own childhoods.

Ellie is a strong young woman faced with circumstances that are not her choice. When Ellie's older sister Regina dies at the birth of her third child, her parents request that Ellie break off her engagement to the man she loves and marry their son-in-law, John, so the children will stay in the family. 
    Ellie reluctantly agrees but determines in her heart to give it her all to make it a good marriage. She and John begin life with a somewhat contrived feeling to their relationship, but love grows because they are both committed to it.

    Once there was a time when Romagna was named Flaminia and the Rubicon was not only a river. When in 49 BCE Julius Caesar arrived he found waiting for him a wooden palisade coloured ruby red where he deployed his legions for several months on that border defended by the legionaries of Pompeo. 
    But who and for what reason was it built, even before Caesar was born, a red line of defence built even to the sea and what would Caesar and his legions do to breach it? 
    Born out of the historical events that have never before been seen, this book will lead you to discover for the first time what the Rubicon really was, what did the legionaries of Caesar do when they decided to attack Rom and many other unpublished news that you never even suspected and will lead, step by step, to discover for the first time: • What was the Rubicon really? • Who and for what reason was it constructed even before the birth of Caesar? • Why have historians never been able to agree about where the Rubicon was? • What plans and strategies did Caesar employ to cross it? • And Pompeo’s legions in its defence? • Had someone made a curse against whoever dared to cross it armed? • Did Caesar and his legions had nightmare from the ‘Malanotte’ before crossing it? • What was Romagna and what did it symbolise in the time of Caesar? • What was the festival of ‘New Years’ that took place in Roma? • What Latin insults did their legions tell each other? And much other unpublished news that you have never suspected. A book that for the first time will cast on the historical darkness left to fall on these events.
