New York ist mehr als Central Park, Empire State Building und Lady Liberty. Ob in Manhattan, in Queens oder in New Jersey, gegenüber von Manhattan: Es finden sich überall Orte, an denen Sie den Big Apple mehr wie ein Einheimischer denn als Tourist – und trotzdem nicht alltäglich, sondern unglaublich anregend – entdecken können. Dieses Buch stellt 50 Plätze abseits der ausgetretenen Pfade vor, manche sind selbst vielen New Yorkern nicht bekannt. Statt über die Brooklyn Bridge lohnt auch ein Spaziergang über die George Washington Bridge, während der Brooklyn Botanical Garden eine Alternative zum Central Park ist. Und fahren Sie doch einmal mit der Fähre zur weitgehend unbekannten Halbinsel Sandy Hook mit scheinbar endlosen Stränden. Die 50 Empfehlungen für Entdeckertouren jenseits des Populären verteilen sich auf die fünf New Yorker Bezirke sowie auf das angrenzende New Jersey und das nah gelegene Urlaubsparadies Long Island. Zuweilen erkunden Sie Orte, an denen Sie das typische New York jenseits des Mainstream erleben können.

»Sybille Ruge rollt mit ihrem Roman Davenport 160 x 90 die Literaturszene und den Buchmarkt auf. Ein spätes Debüt, das auf einem ganzen Leben fußt. In seinen verrückten Wendungen spiegelt es die deutsch-deutsche Geschichte. Es geht um Freiheit - und um radikale Autonomie.« (WDR) Frankfurt am Main: Sonja Slanski betreibt eine Inkassofirma, »Forderungsmanagement«, die sich auch um andere Dinge im unreinlichen Wirtschaftsbereich kümmert. Slanski bekommt von einer undurchsichtigen Society-Lady den Auftrag, eine hochkriminelle Anwaltskanzlei zu ruinieren, egal, mit welchen Mitteln, weil sie sich wegen eines Patents betrogen fühlt. Slanski erledigt diesen Job ziemlich gründlich, noch nicht wissend, dass diese Klientin die Gattin ihres Gelegenheitslovers ist. Überraschend taucht ihre Halbschwester Luna auf eine junge Künstlerin, die mit extremer Kunst Furore macht, irgendwo auf den Schnittstellen von Porno, Art Escort, Avantgarde, Jetset und Drogenbusiness. Als Luna einige Zeit später tot in Slanskis Wohnung liegt, weiß Slanski nicht, ob nicht eigentlich sie gemeint war. Und zu allem Überfluss soll sie auch noch für die Polizei undercover weiter gegen einen fiesen Filz aus Anwälten und Industriellen ermitteln. Ein Job, mit dem sie sich so gar nicht anfreunden mag ...

The Age of Innocence is a 1920 novel by American author Edith Wharton. It was her twelfth novel, and was initially serialized in 1920 in four parts, in the magazine Pictorial Review. Later that year, it was released as a book by D. Appleton & Company. It won the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, making Wharton the first woman to win the prize. Though the committee had initially agreed to give the award to Sinclair Lewis for Main Street, the judges, in rejecting his book on political grounds, "established Wharton as the American 'First Lady of Letters'". The story is set in the 1870s, in upper-class, Gilded Age New York City. Wharton wrote the book in her 50s, after she had established herself as a strong author, with publishers clamoring for her work.

Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Didactics - English - Literature, Works, grade: 2,0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, course: Hauptseminar "Henry James", language: English, abstract: In Henry James¿ realist novel The Portrait of a Lady not love but apparently the international theme is the main topic. The international theme mirrored in the portrait of Isabel Archer and her journey from America to England, to Europe. But if the reader has a closer look to the interpretation of the text, he will find out that James has made his work more complex. The international theme and love are strongly intertwined; both themes, in a way, influence each other. James has established several different relationships between men and women in his work. By close reading, the reader will discover that there is hardly a page in the book which is not filled with aspects of or allusions to romantic or interpersonal conversations or interactions between or about two potential lovers. According to Borchers, Henry James¿ attitude towards women and towards marriage itself reveals that we may not expect a modern novel about marriage (116). Because Henry James has already abolished the traditional style of matrimonial novel writing which originally ends with the engagement or the marriage of the heroine, Borchers names The Portrait of a Lady the predecessor of the modern novel about marriage matters (116). So, in the novel, not only aspects of traditional marriage structures but also problems and forms of how to avoid the bond of matrimony are discussed. In The Portrait of a Lady, there is hardly a chance for love between men and women to be lived, neither in legitimate relationships, in illegitimate relationships, nor in alternative relationships.

Der junge Dichter Richard Savage entdeckt, dass seine Mutter eine der angesehensten Damen der Gesellschaft ist - Lady Macclesfield. Doch statt mütterlicher Zuneigung erwartet ihn Ablehnung, gesellschaftliche Intrige und der erbitterte Kampf um Anerkennung. Karl Gutzkows Trauerspiel 'Richard Savage, Sohn einer Mutter' erzählt die tragische Geschichte eines Außenseiters, dessen poetische Seele nach Wahrheit und Liebe dürstet - und an der Kälte der Aristokratie zu zerbrechen droht. Ein bewegendes Drama über Herkunft, Ehre, soziale Schranken und den unaufhaltsamen Drang nach Gerechtigkeit. Über den Autor: 1811 als Sohn eines Stallmeisters in Berlin geboren, studiert Karl Ferdinand Gutzkow Theologie und Philosophie, u.a. bei Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Noch als Student gibt er eine eigene Zeitung heraus und beginnt damit eine streitbare Karriere als Journalist. Er gilt Zeitgenossen als provozierend und polemisierend, ist leicht reizbar und überwirft sich mit vielen Weggefährten. Als Schriftsteller ist er erfolgreich und gut bezahlt, dennoch stets in Geldnot. Psychische Krisen, Anfälle von Paranoia und Selbstmordversuche unterbrechen immer wieder seine Schaffenskraft. Am 16. Dezember 1878 stirbt in Frankfurt am Main mit Karl Gutzkow ein bedeutender Vertreter des deutschen Frührealismus schlafend bei einem Schwelbrand.

What happens when a former Zen Buddhist monk and his feminist wife experience an apparition of the Virgin Mary? "This book could not have come at a more auspicious time, and the message is mystical perfection, not to mention a courageous one. I adore this book."-Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit Before a vision of a mysterious "Lady" invited Clark Strand and Perdita Finn to pray the rosary, they were not only uninterested in becoming Catholic but finished with institutional religion altogether. Their main spiritual concerns were the fate of the planet and the future of their children and grandchildren in an age of ecological collapse. But this Lady barely even referred to the Church and its proscriptions. Instead, she spoke of the miraculous power of the rosary to transform lives and heal the planet, and revealed the secrets she had hidden within the rosary's prayers and mysteries-secrets of a past age when forests were the only cathedrals and people wove rose garlands for a Mother whose loving presence was as close as the ground beneath their feet. She told Strand and Finn: The rosary is My body, and My body is the body of the world. Your body is one with that body. What cause could there be for fear? Weaving together their own remarkable story of how they came to the rosary, their discoveries about the eco-feminist wisdom at the heart of this ancient devotion, and the life-changing revelations of the Lady herself, the authors reveal an ancestral path-available to everyone, religious or not-that returns us to the powerful healing rhythms of the natural world.
