Combining acerbic wit with insider political savvy, one of America's most entertaining journalists tells readers why George W. Bush is not only the Right Man at the Right Time, but has become the greatest Leader of the Age George W. Bush arrived in the White House an untested governor with an unfortunate habit of tripping over his own tongue, presiding over an economy slipping into recession, and a nation more obsessed with reality television than with the reality of international terrorism. He was considered by many opinion-leaders a dupe, an illiterate, a cowboy, a preppie, a child of privilege who would never have made it to the White House without the help of his ex-president father. Now, with his first term coming to an end, it is clear to John Podhoretz that Bush has become--and will be remembered--as one of this nation's strongest leaders. He has changed the country's agenda from top to bottom. Steeled by the tragedy of September 11, he has responded with visionary power and towering authority. He has presided over victories in two wars and a triumphant repositioning of his party. His secret: The willingness to spend political capital rather than hoard it. Bush Country makes its case with style and verve. Here is an engrossing and entertaining portrait that proves that "misunderestimating" our forty-third president is folly indeed.

Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 3,0, University of Marburg (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Transatlantic Stereotyping - Views From / About Both Sides of the Ocean, language: English, abstract: Criticism of Bryson¿s novels is not advanced but his narratives can be investigated in terms of genre, intertextuality, language, and nationality. This paper expands on the topic of Bryson¿s view both of Great Britain and the United States of America by means of national stereotyping as it emerges from his novels Notes from a Small Island (1995) and Notes from a Big Country (1998). I maintain that Bryson depicts Britain and America in an authentic and educative as well as hilarious and exaggerated manner to emphasize differences between the nations in question. I will prove my thesis that Bryson both criticises and praises British and American values which affect the national character. Bryson conveys his national views both from the perspective of an insider and outsider. William ¿Bill¿ McGuire Bryson was born in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1951. In 1973, he travelled to England where he became acquainted with his wife, Cynthia Billen, with whom he has four children. Bryson lived in Yorkshire, returned to America to graduate in 1995, and resided with his family in Norfolk, in 2003. While in America Bryson is well-known for elaborating on the English language, he accomplished bestseller standing with travelogues in Great Britain. Although he claims not to be a travel writer because he ¿stumbled into this genre¿, Bryson composes ¿books on travel and the English language¿ in which his ¿wanderlust and eccentricity¿ promise a unique reading adventure (Oder 191). Travel writing is a neglected but miscellaneous genre of ancient times which flourished in the sixteenth century and encompasses narratives of expansionism, such as encyclopaedic accounts of foreign nations, and became the principal negotiator of propagating stereotypes in colonial novels. While Bryson¿s journey novel Notes from a Small Island depicts the Great Britain he adores, he grudgingly wrote columns about America which resulted in his journalistic novel Notes from a Big Country.

The “Polonaise-Fantaisie” is among Chopin’s last great piano works, and is a testament to his mastery and maturity. The out-of-the-ordinary title betrays the fact that Chopin was uncertain about which genre to assign it to. While the typical rhythm and noble character of the Polonaise repeatedly shine through the notes, the Polonaise-Fantaisie is characterized above all by a great freedom in its thematic and formal aspects. The work brushes against a great variety of keys, moods and motifs, and leads into a grandiose closing apotheosis as if at the end of a long journey.

They came by river and by wagon train, braving the endless distances of the Great Plains and the icy passes of the Sierra Nevada. They were men like Linus Rawlings, a restless survivor of Indian country who'd headed east to see the ocean but left his heart-and his home-in the West. They were women like Lilith Prescott, a smart, spirited beauty who fled her family and fell for a gambling man in the midst of a frontier gold boom. These pioneering men and women sowed the seeds of a nation with their courage-and with their blood. Here is the story of how their paths would meet amid the epic struggle against fierce enemies and nature's cruelty, to win for all time the rich and untamed West.

Dieser Band ist in englischer Sprache erschienen! Denmark - the small, great country by the sea. In a country where no house is further than 55 kilometres (34 miles) from the 7,474 km (4,645 mile) long coastline, where the merely 67 kilometre (42 mile) long border to Germany is the only non-coastal boundary to the nearest neighbour, where over 5 million inhabitants live on roughly 100 of a total of 500 islands, life is marked by the sea.Eastern Denmark's charming beauty lies in the still, harmonious interplay of fjords, islets and bays with the gently rolling land and tree-lined avenues that disappear at the horizon. The winds, waves and play of the tides give the Danish North Sea coast of Jutland its unmistakable character: mile-wide beaches on the islands of Romo, Mando, and Fano¸ in the tidal shallows, broad dune landscapes along the entire west coast and wide bays from Hanstholm to Skagen, where the North and Baltic Seas visibly collide. Denmark's eastern outpost, Bornholm, is impressive with its contrasting mighty northern rock coast and almost Mediterranean vegetation: grapevines, mulberry and fig trees grow in the shelter of cosy half-timbered houses. Over 180 photographs reveal Denmark in all its diversity and four specials tell of castles, parks and manors, Danish literature, life on the small islands and Danish cuisine. Dänemark – das kleine grosse Land im Meer: In einem Land, in dem kein Haus weiter als 55 Kilometer von der Küste entfernt ist, in dem über 5 Millionen Einwohner auf rund 100 von insgesamt 500 Inseln leben, ist die Welt vom Meer geprägt. Steile Küsten, breite Sandstrände und hohe Dünen bestimmen das Bild des Königreichs. Das Leben in der Metropole Kopenhagen steht im starken Kontrast zu dem kleinster Inselgemeinschaften, das vom Takt der Fähre bestimmt wird. Über 180 Bilder zeigen alle Facetten dieses faszinierenden Landes und vier Specials berichten unter anderem über Schlösser, Parks und Herrensitze und die dänische Literatur. REISE DURCH … ist eine Bildband-Reihe professionell fotografiert von renommierten Reisefotografen - - - Bis zu 230 Bilder auf 128 bis 140 Seiten - - - Sensationell günstiger Preis - - - Alle wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten - - - Kultur und Traditionen - - - Kenntnisreiche Texte - - - Ausführliche Bildunterschriften - - - Farbige Übersichtskarte - - - Detailliertes Register.

This New York Times bestseller from “one of the great storytellers of our time” (San Francisco Book Review) turns from the glamour of the royal courts to tell the story of an ordinary woman, Alinor, living in a dangerous time for a woman to be different. A country at war A king beheaded A woman with a dangerous secret On Midsummer’s Eve, Alinor waits in the church graveyard, hoping to encounter the ghost of her missing husband and thus confirm his death. Until she can, she is neither maiden nor wife nor widow, living in a perilous limbo. Instead she meets James, a young man on the run. She shows him the secret ways across the treacherous marshy landscape of the Tidelands, not knowing she is leading a spy and an enemy into her life. England is in the grip of a bloody civil war that reaches into the most remote parts of the kingdom. Alinor’s suspicious neighbors are watching each other for any sign that someone might be disloyal to the new parliament, and Alinor’s ambition and determination mark her as a woman who doesn’t follow the rules. They have always whispered about the sinister power of Alinor’s beauty, but the secrets they don’t know about her and James are far more damning. This is the time of witch-mania, and if the villagers discover the truth, they could take matters into their own hands. “This is Gregory par excellence” ( Kirkus Reviews). “Fans of Gregory’s works and of historicals in general will delight in this page-turning tale” ( Library Journal, starred review) that is “superb… A searing portrait of a woman that resonates across the ages” ( People).

Jahrhunderts. Seine Integrität, gepaart mit humanistischer Bildung und tiefer Menschlichkeit, ist selten geworden - nicht nur in der Musikwelt. Kaum jemand weiss so liebevoll über den Künstler und Menschen Kubelik zu berichten wie Daniel Barenboim, der von frühester Jugend an als Pianist mit ihm aufgetreten ist und - zusammen mit anderen wichtigen Wegbegleitern - in diesem Film zu Wort kommt. Interessantes Archivmaterial unterschiedlichster Provenienz (BBC, BR und viele andere) dokumentiert Kubeliks einzigartige Laufbahn, die auch die politischen Zäsuren in Europa widerspiegelt. Der Dialog mit dieser ganz besonderen, 1996 verstorbenen Künstlerpersönlichkeit ist dabei längst nicht beendet: Während insbesondere seine Mahler-Interpretationen auch heute noch als massstäblich gelten, ist das Werk des Komponisten Kubelik mit fünf Opern, drei Requiem, Symphonien, Konzerten, Kammermusik und Liedern erst noch zu entdecken.

Gogol's great Russian classic is the Pickwick Papers of Russian Literature. It takes a sharp but humorous look at life in all its strata, but especially the devious complexities in the country with its landowners and serfs. We are introduced to Chichikov, a businessman who, in order to trick the tax authorities, buys up dead 'souls' or serfs whose names still appear on the government census. Despite being a dealer in phantom crimes and paper ghosts, he is the most beguiling of Gogol's characters. Gogol's obsession with attempting to display 'the untold riches of the Russian soul' eventually led him to madness, religious mania and death. Dismissed by him as merely 'a pale introduction to the great epic poem which is taking shape in my mind', Dead Souls is the culmination of Gogol's genius.
