Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Auf den Spuren der Sage fuhrt das Buch den Leser in die Vergangenheit der Lungauer Winkel, erzahlt von Wildfrauen, unheimlichen Gestalten und Begegnungen mit dem Gut und Bose. Die Landschaft des Lungaus wird durch seine Taler bestimmt, die vom Taurach- und Murboden sternformig ausstrahlen. Durch die Jahrhunderte waren diese Winkel, wie sie nach ihrer ursprunglichen Bezeichnung hiessen, in sich abgeschlossene Orte, die sich durch besondere Eigenarten hinsichtlich ihrer Sprache und Tradition auszeichneten. Als Sagenwanderung angelegt, unternimmt dieser Band einen Streifzug durch die Mythenwelt dieser Winkel, erzahlt von Wildfrauen, Venediger, Mandln, verborgenen Schatzen und Begegnungen mit dem Kasmandl. Damit wird eine Lebenswelt Iebendig, wo menschliches Mass und ominose Krafte, profaner Alltag und Ubersinnliches, Wirklichkeit und unfassbarer Zauber nebeneinander stehen und mehr noch - einander begegne.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A sweeping and comprehensive history of Prague--from its origins in the ninth century to the present day--that traces its past as a political center and a city on the periphery of empires.Poets have called Prague the City of One Hundred Spires, Golden Prague, Magic Prague, and the Mother of Cities. Millions of tourists visit the Czech capital each year, awed by the blend of architectural styles and the dramatic landscape. St. Vitus's Gothic cathedral towers above the Charles Bridge and the Vltava River. Winding Gothic alleys lead to elegant squares lined with Renaissance palaces, Baroque statues, and modern glass structures. Yet, the city's beauty often obscures centuries of ethnic and religious conflict. In Prague's Jewish Quarter, the names of nearly 80,000 Holocaust victims are inscribed on the walls of Pinkas Synagogue, which stands as a reminder of a complex and violent past. Cynthia Paces traces the history of Prague since the late ninth century, when Slavic dukes built the first church and fortifications on the castle hill. Over the course of eleven centuries, Prague vacillated between a political center and a city on the periphery of empires. The Holy Roman Emperors Charles IV and Rudolph II transformed Prague into a European center of arts, politics, and pilgrimage, but centuries of religious conflict, the defenestrations of Prague, and the Thirty Years War threatened to destroy the city. In the twentieth century, Prague was hailed as a beacon of democracy, led by philosopher presidents T. G. Masaryk and Václav Havel, but its citizens also endured violent antisemitism, a Nazi occupation, and a repressive communist regime.While illuminating a millennium of political, cultural, and social developments, Prague: The Heart of Europe captures the lives of the men and women who have called the city home. Prague has housed Europe's largest Jewish community, a diverse population of German and Czech speakers, and artisans from all over Europe. This sweeping book highlights the manifold contributions of Prague's artists, architects, musicians, and writers. In doing so, it reveals why the city captivated so many creative men and women, including Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Antonín Dvorák, Oskar Kokoschka, the poet Elizabeth Weston, and the alchemist John Dee. As Prague native Franz Kafka once wrote, 'Prague does not let go; this little mother has claws.'.…
