Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two decades after Waterloo marked the great age of foreign fortune hunters in England. Each year brought a new influx of impecunious Continental noblemen to the world's richest country, and the more brides they carried off, the more alarmed society became. The most colourful of these men was Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau (1785-1871), remembered today as Germany's finest landscape gardener. In the mid-1820s, however, his efforts to turn his estate into a magnificent park came close to bankrupting him. To save his legacy his wife Lucie devised an unusual plan: they would divorce so that Pückler could marry an heiress who would finance further landscaping and, after a decent interval, be cajoled into accepting Lucie’s continued residence. In September 1826, his marriage dissolved, Pückler set off for London. Pückler is the most intelligent of the overseas visitors who noted their impressions of Regency England. His matrimonial quest brings him into contact with such luminaries as Walter Scott, George Canning, Princess Lieven, Nathan Mayer Rothschild, Beau Brummell and John Nash. The object of many rumours and caricatures, the prince sticks doggedly to his task for nearly two years. And just when it seems that he has failed, England fills his coffers in the most unexpected way, and in doing so launches him on a new career. In telling the story of Pückler’s adventures in the context of the trend for Anglo-European marriages based on the exchange of a title for money, The Fortune Hunter writes a new chapter in the history of England’s relationship with its Continental neighbours.

Download or read book Great Cities Through Travelers' Eyes written by Peter Furtado and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wide-ranging anthology of travelers’ accounts in thirty-eight of the world’s most fascinating cities, from ancient times through the twentieth century. This entertaining new anthology includes travelers’ tales from thirty-eight cities spread over six continents, ranging from Beijing to Berlin, Cairo to Chicago, and Rio to Rome. The volume features commentators across the millennia, including the great travelers of ancient times, such as Greek geographer Strabo; those who undertook extensive journeys in the medieval world, not least Marco Polo; courageous women such as Isabella Bird and Freya Stark; and enterprising writers and journalists, including Mark Twain. We see the work of famous travelers, but also stories by ordinary people who found themselves involved in remarkable situations, like the medieval Chinese abbot who was shown around the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris by the king of France. Some of the writers seek to provide a straightforward, accurate description of all they have seen, while others concentrate on their subjective experiences of the city and encounters with the inhabitants. Introduced and contextualized by bestselling historian Peter Furtado, each account provides both a vivid portrait of a distant place and time and an insight into those who journeyed there. The result is a book that delves into the splendors and stories that exist beyond conventional guidebooks and websites.

Download or read book Life of Henriette Sontag, Countess de Rossi written by Fürst von Hermann Pückler-Muskau and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-09-18 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The anthology 'Life of Henriette Sontag, Countess de Rossi' stands as a remarkable compilation that celebrates the storied life of one of the 19th century's most celebrated opera singers. Through the diverse lenses of essays, letters, and critiques, this collection embodies a rich tapestry of literary styles, from lyrical reflections to rigorous biographical accounts. The narrative coherence of the anthology, despite the multitude of voices, speaks to the editors' skill in curating a range of perspectives that illuminate Sontag's artistic legacy and the cultural milieu in which she thrived. Highlighted within are evocative pieces that capture the essence of Sontag's impact on both the world of opera and the broader cultural consciousness of her time. The contributing authors and editors, hailing from a breadth of literary and musical backgrounds, bring a collective depth to the examination of Henriette Sontag's life and era. Figures like Fürst von Hermann Pückler-Muskau and Hector Berlioz not only contributed significantly to their respective fields but also intersected with the cultural and literary movements that Sontag herself influenced and was influenced by. The anthology thus serves as a confluence of artistic and intellectual currents, offering readers insights into the Romantic periods complexities and its lasting legacy on European art and literature. This collection is recommended for those who wish to immerse themselves in the rich cultural tapestry of the 19th century and explore the life of a figure who captured the imagination of contemporaries and continues to fascinate today. It is an invaluable resource for students of opera, history, and literature, offering a multifaceted look into the era's artistic landscape. Readers will find in 'Life of Henriette Sontag, Countess de Rossi' a unique opportunity to explore the convergence of diverse literary forms and perspectives, all while engaging with the enduring legacy of one of operas most luminous stars.

Download or read book Heinrich Böll and Ireland written by Gisela Holfter and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-07-12 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nobel Prize winning author Heinrich Böll’s Irisches Tagebuch (Irish Journal) which was first published in 1957, has been read by millions of German readers and has had an unsurpassed impact on the German image of Ireland. But there is much more to Heinrich Böll’s relationship with Ireland than the Irisches Tagebuch. In this new book, Böll scholar Gisela Holfter carefully charts Heinrich Böll’s personal and literary connections with Ireland and Irish literature from his reading Irish fairytales in early childhood, to establishing a second home on Achill Island and his and his wife Annemarie’s translations of numerous books by Irish authors such as Brendan Behan, J. M. Synge, G. B. Shaw, Flann O’Brien and Tomás O’Crohan. This book also examines the response in Ireland to Böll’s works, notably the controversy that ensued following the broadcast of his film Irland und seine Kinder (Children of Eire) in the 1960s. Heinrich Böll and Ireland offers new insights for students, academics and the general reader alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing its distant origins to the villa of the Roman emperor Hadrian in the second century AD, the eccentric phenomenon of the ornamental hermit enjoyed its heyday in the England of the eighteenth century It was at this time that it became highly fashionable for owners of country estates to commission architectural follies for their landscape gardens. These follies often included hermitages, many of which still survive, often in a ruined state. Landowners peopled their hermitages either with imaginary hermits or with real hermits - in some cases the landowner even became his own hermit. Those who took employment as garden hermits were typically required to refrain from cutting their hair or washing, and some were dressed as druids. Unlike the hermits of the Middle Ages, these were wholly secular hermits, products of the eighteenth century fondness for 'pleasing melancholy'. Although the fashion for them had fizzled out by the end of the eighteenth century, they had left their indelible mark on both the literature as well as the gardens of the period. And, as Gordon Campbell shows, they live on in the art, literature, and drama of our own day - as well as in the figure of the modern-day garden gnome. This engaging and generously illustrated book takes the reader on a journey that is at once illuminating and whimsical, both through the history of the ornamental hermit and also around the sites of many of the surviving hermitages themselves, which remain scattered throughout England, Scotland, and Ireland. And for the real enthusiast, there is even a comprehensive checklist, enabling avid hermitage-hunters to locate their prey.
