Extrait : Hans Christian Andersen, (2 avril 1805 à Odense, Danemark - 4 août 1875 à Rolighed, Frederiksberg, Copenhague ) est un romancier, dramaturge, conteur et poète danois, célèbre pour ses nouvelles et ses « contes de fées ». Longtemps ignoré ou tourné en dérision dans son pays, où l'on a raillé son égocentrisme, il n'est reconnu tout d'abord qu'à l'étranger : en Angleterre où il rencontre Charles Dickens et où il devient le lion de la saison, en Allemagne où il se lie avec Chamisso, en France où il se lie avec Heinrich Heine, Honoré de Balzac, Alphonse de Lamartine chez Virginie Ancelot. Ses nombreux voyages (Constantinople, Rome, Suisse, Espagne) lui inspirent des récits qui constituent la meilleure partie de son œuvre, après les contes. Mais ses compatriotes lui reprochent justement de parcourir le monde uniquement pour y trouver la célébrité, et ses récits sont mieux accueillis en Allemagne où ...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Excerpt: The Brontë Parsonage Museum is maintained by the Brontë Society in honour of the famed Brontë sisters Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë and is located in Haworth, West Yorkshire, an area of England covered in much open, expansive moorland. It is popular with those seeking to find the source of the sisters' inspiration, and is of particular interest as the Brontës spent most of their lives here and wrote their famous novels in these surroundings. The Brontë Society is open to everyone to join. It is one of the oldest literary societies in the English speaking world, and is also a registered charity. The Society welcomes new members to support the preservation of the museum and library collections for future generations and to tell the story of the Bronte's lives and works. Ruth Pickering reviewed her visit to the Museum, explaining how "The Bronte Parsonage Museum is beautifully maintained and packed full of family memorabilia, original furniture and facts and information for visitors to guide themselves around". In 1820, Patrick Brontë was appointed as incumbent of Haworth, and arrived in the township with his Cornish-born wife, Maria, and their six children. Although Haworth remained the family's home for the rest of their lives, and the moorland setting had a profound influence on the writing of Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë, the family history began not in Yorkshire, but in Ireland, where Patrick, the first of ten children, was born in County Down, o...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1624535 ...

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Blixen Karen," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Blixen Karen in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Blixen Karen when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Blixen Karen, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Excerpt: Baroness Karen von Blixen-Finecke (17 April 1885 7 September 1962), née Karen Christenze Dinesen, was a Danish author also known under her pen name Isak Dinesen. She also wrote under the pen names Osceola and Pierre Andrézel. Blixen wrote works in both Danish and in English. She is best known for Out of Africa, her account of living in Kenya, and one of her stories, Babette's Feast, both of which have been adapted into highly acclaimed, Academy Award-winning motion pictures. Prior to the release of the first film, she was noted for her Seven Gothic Tales, for which she is also known in Denmark. Karen Dinesen was the daughter of writer and army officer, Wilhelm Dinesen, and Ingeborg Westenholz, and the sister of Thomas Dinesen. She was born into a Unitarian bourgeois family in Rungsted, on the island of Zealand, in Denmark, and was schooled in art in Copenhagen, Paris, and Rome. She began publishing fiction in Danish periodicals in 1905 under the pseudonym Osceola, the name of the Seminole leader, possibly inspired by her father's connection with Native Americans. From August 1872 to December 1873, Wilhelm Dinesen had lived among the Chippewa Indians, in Wisconsin, where he fathered a daughter, who was born after his return to Denmark. Wilhelm Dinesen hanged himself in 1895 after being diagnosed with syphilis when Karen was nine. Karen Blixen Museum, KenyaIn 1913 Karen Dinesen became engaged to her second-cousin, the Swedish Baron Bror von Blixen-Finecke, after a failed love affair with his brother. The couple moved to Kenya, where in early 1914 they used family money to establish a coffee plantation, hiring African workers, predominantly the Kikuyu tribespeople who lived on the farmlands at the time of their arrival.

Kapitel: Tarabu, Kaya, Malaika, Karen Blixen Museum, Kalamashaka, Paxtu, Patechronik, Massai-Schild, Bomas of Kenya, International Council of African Museums. Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Taarab is a music genre popular in Tanzania and Kenya. It is influenced by music from the cultures with a historical presence in East Africa, including music from East Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa, the Middle East and Europe. Taarab rose to prominence in 1928 with the rise of the genre's first star, Siti binti Saad. According to local legend, taarab was started by Sultan Seyyid Barghash bin Said (1870-1888); he liked luxury and the pleasures of life. It was this ruler who started Taarab in Zanzibar and later it spread all over East Africa. He imported a taarab ensemble from Egypt, to play in his Beit el-Ajab palace. Later on he decided to send to Egypt Mohamed Ibrahim to learn music and he also learned to play the Kanun. Upon his return he formed the Zanzibar Taarab Orchestra. In 1905, Zanzibar's second music society, Ikwhani Safaa Musical Club, was established and continues to thrive until today. Ikwhani Safaa and Culture Musical Club (founded in 1958) remain the leading Zanzibar taarab orchestras. The word Taarab is a loanword from Arabic. The Arabic word طرب means "having joy with music". ...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more

Excerpt: Christiansborg Palace, on the islet of Slotsholmen in central Copenhagen, is the seat of the Folketing (the Danish parliament), the Danish Prime Minister's Office and the Danish Supreme Court. Also, several parts of the palace are used by the monarchy, including the Royal Reception Rooms, the palace chapel and the royal stables. The palace is thus the house of Denmark's three supreme powers: the executive power, the legislative power, and the judicial power. It is the only building in the world which is the home of all a nation's three supreme powers. Christiansborg Palace is owned by the Danish state, and is run by the Palaces and Properties Agency. The present building is the last in a series of successive castles and palaces constructed in the same site since the erection of the first castle in 1167. Since the early fifteenth century, the various buildings have served as the base of the central administration; until 1794 as the principal residence of the Danish kings and after 1849 as the seat of parliament. The palace today bears witness to three eras of Danish architecture, as the result of two serious fires. The first fire occurred in 1794 and the second in 1884. The main part of the current palace, finished in 1928, is in the historicist Neo-baroque style. The chapel dates to 1826 and is in a neoclassical style. The showgrounds were built 1738-46, in a baroque style. Slotsholmen has also been the location of the medieval castle of Bishop Absalon, the Copenhagen Castle as well as two previous palaces. Both were also known as Christiansborg. The first castle on the site was Absalon's Castle, built in 1167. According to Saxo, Bishop Absalon of Roskilde built a castle in 1167 on a small island outside Copenhagen Harbour. The castle was su... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1281608 ... Read more
