Brauner Ledergürtel im Keltischen Stil, ca. 170 cm Die Kelten waren eine Reihe von Volksstämmen, die während der Eisenzeit in Mitteleuropa entstanden und sich später über ganz Europa bis hin zur Balkanhalbinsel und nach Irland ausbreiteten. Bis ca. 275 v. Chr. bewohnten sie einen Großteil dieser Gebiete, bevor ihr Territorium nach und nach nicht nur von den expandierenden Römern, sondern auch von den Germanen usurpiert, erobert und besetzt wurde, so dass sie hauptsächlich auf den britischen Inseln und in Irland verblieben. Als geschickte Kunsthandwerker entwickelten die Kelten zahlreiche Muster, die sie in ihrem gesamten Kulturgebiet verwendeten, um allerhand Alltagsgegenstände wie Töpferwaren, Schmuck, Textilien, aber auch Waffen und sogar Denkmäler zu verzieren. Der keltische Stil, der sich vor allem durch ineinander verschlungene Tierwesen, Spiralformen und eine Vielzahl von Flecht- und Knotenmotiven auszeichnet, hielt sogar Einzug in viele christliche Bilderhandschriften, deren Illustratoren sich von der alten heidnischen Keltenkunst inspirieren ließen. Dieser fein gearbeitete, robuste Gürtel ist aus 3 mm starkem, braunem Rindsleder gefertigt und mit einer wunderschönen Schnalle aus Messing mit Antik-Finish ausgestattet, die mit zwei Messingnieten befestigt ist. Der ca. 170 cm lange, 4 cm breite Riemen ist mit einem geprägten Flechtmuster / Knotenmuster im keltischen Stil dekoriert und mit 18 durch Messingösen verstärkten Löchern versehen. So kann er für eine bequeme, individuelle Passform auf eine Vielzahl von Größen eingestellt werden (geeignet für einen Taillenumfang zwischen ca. 70 und 120 cm). Verziert ist die Gürtelschnalle mit zwei einander zugewandten Schlangen oder Drachen mit Knotenmuster, einem in der keltischen und nordischen/wikingerzeitlichen Kunst wiederkehrenden Motiv. Dieser Ledergürtel ist aufgrund seines Designs nicht nur eine stilvolle Ergänzung zu jeder keltischen Gewandung, sondern passt auch zu Frühmittelalter- und Wikinger-Kulissen. Dieses für Männer und Frauen gleichermaßen geeignete Kleidungsaccessoire ist ideal für Mittelaltermärkte, Reenactment- oder LARP-Events und verleiht auch jedem modernen Outfit das gewisse Etwas! Technische Daten Material: echtes Rindsleder (3 mm stark), Messing mit Antik-Finish Länge (nur Riemen): ca. 170 cm Max. Taillenumfang: ca. 120 cm Breite: ca. 4 cm - Maße der Schnallen (B x H): jeweils ca. 6,5 x 8,5 cm Gewicht: ca. 280 Gramm Die o.g. Spezifikationen können von Exemplar zu Exemplar leicht variieren.

A dazzling speculative novel of 'counterfactual history' from one of America's most highly-regarded science fiction authors, Philip K. Dick's The Man in the High Castle includes an introduction by Eric Brown in Penguin Modern Classics. Philip K. Dick's acclaimed cult novel gives us a horrifying glimpse of an alternative world - one where the Allies have lost the Second World War. In this nightmare dystopia the Nazis have taken over New York, the Japanese control California and the African continent is virtually wiped out. In a neutral buffer zone in America that divides the world's new rival superpowers, lives the author of an underground bestseller. His book offers a new vision of reality - an alternative theory of world history in which the Axis powers were defeated - giving hope to the disenchanted. Does 'reality' lie with him, or is his world just one among many others? Philip Kindred Dick (1928-82) was born in Chicago in 1928. His career as a science fiction writer comprised an early burst of short stories followed by a stream of novels, typically character studies incorporating androids, drugs, and hallucinations. His best works are generally agreed to be The Man in the High Castle and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the inspiration for the movie Blade Runner. If you enjoyed The Man in the High Castle, you might like Yevgeny Zamyatin's We, also available in Penguin Classics. 'The most brilliant science fiction mind on any planet' Rolling Stone 'Dick's finest book, and one of the very best science fiction novels ever published' Eric Brown

The New York Times bestseller, these groundbreaking essays and poems about race—collected by National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward and written by the most important voices of her generation—are “thoughtful; searing, and at times, hopeful. The Fire This Time is vivid proof that words are important, because of their power to both cleanse and to clarify” (USA TODAY). In this bestselling, widely lauded collection, Jesmyn Ward gathers our most original thinkers and writers to speak on contemporary racism and race, including Carol Anderson, Jericho Brown, Edwidge Danticat, Kevin Young, Claudia Rankine, and Honoree Jeffers. “An absolutely indispensable anthology” ( Booklist, starred review), The Fire This Time shines a light on the darkest corners of our history, wrestles with our current predicament, and imagines a better future. Envisioned as a response to The Fire Next Time, James Baldwin’s groundbreaking 1963 essay collection, these contemporary writers reflect on the past, present, and future of race in America. We’ve made significant progress in the fifty-odd years since Baldwin’s essays were published, but America is a long and painful distance away from a “post-racial society”—a truth we must confront if we are to continue to work towards change. Baldwin’s “fire next time” is now upon us, and it needs to be talked about; The Fire This Time “seeks to place the shock of our own times into historical context and, most importantly, to move these times forward” ( Vogue).
