Painting Victoria is a loving tribute to a storied city from one of its most dedicated living artists, Robert Amos, and makes a wonderful gift for enthusiastic locals and new visitors alike. When he first came to Victoria in 1974, local artist and art historian Robert Amos was enchanted. In Painting Victoria, he collects decades of paintings done almost entirely on location into a sweeping artistic love letter that spans fifty years. Painting Victoria roves from the sparkling waters of Cadboro Bay to the industrial relics of the Albion Iron Works, with stops among the boats of the Inner Harbour, the neon lights of Chinatown, and the tranquil paths of Japanese Gardens. Inspired by the local painters and printmakers that came before him, Amos paints and sketches Victoria’s waterways and boats, famous gardens, breathtaking ocean and mountain views, heritage buildings, and unsung corners in a whimsical style and with a keen eye for the unique character of the city. Featuring paintings from numerous art collections, including the City of Victoria, the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, and the University of Victoria, and the artist's personal collection, join the Victoria Times Colonist’s art columnist of thirty years in a journey across the city. From the riotous colours of a summer parade, to captivating snapshots of the fireworks at Butchart Gardens, to quiet quotidian scenes at the Carr House, discover Victoria through an artist's eyes.
Madame Victoria

Madame Victoria

Catherine LeRoux

In 2001, a woman’s skeleton was found in the woods overlooking Montreal’s Royal Victoria Hospital. Despite an audit of the hospital’s patient records, a forensic reconstruction of the woman’s face, missing-person appeals, and DNA tests that revealed not only where she had lived, but how she ate, the woman was never identified. Assigned the name Madame Victoria, her remains were placed in a box in an evidence room and, eventually, forgotten. But not by Catherine Leroux, who constructs in her form-bending Madame Victoria twelve different histories for the unknown woman. Like musical variations repeating a theme, each Victoria meets her end only after Leroux resurrects her, replacing the anonymous circumstances of her death with a vivid re-imagining of her possible lives. And in doing so, Madame Victoria becomes much more than the story of one unknown and unnamed woman: it becomes a celebration of the lives and legacies of unknown women everywhere. By turns elegiac, playful, poignant, and tragic, Madame Victoria is an unforgettable book about the complexities of individual lives and the familiar ways in which they overlap.

The queen of great britain and ireland for 63 years, the mother of nine children and grandmother to 42, queen victoria's life was one of magnificent proportions. Victoria's childhood was difficult and lonely but from the time she took the throne aged just eighteen she blossomed into a powerful woman, both frivolous and formidable.It was a time of the expansion of the empire, as britain (for good, or as it is often considered today, bad) and its armies sought to extend their influence across the planet.Indeed, the victorian period is often regarded as a time of peace, but in fact, there were almost continuous wars during the era. Afghanistan, india, africa, the crimea...Victorian britain was a time of great industrial progress; a time of poverty in the cities but the birth of education. At the time she took the throne one child in five failed to reach their fifth birthday.To queen victoria, the love, attention and protection of a man was all but indispensable. During her long life, there were six men with whom her emotions were romantically involved: her first prime minister, the urbane lord melbourne; her husband, the idealistic prince albert; her fellow sovereign, the fascinating napoleon iii; her ghillie, the rough-hewn john brown; another prime minister, the silver-tongued disraeli; and her indian servant, the exotic munshi.

Van der Kiste deftly weaves together the various strands of the relationships-including the close family marriage ties-to provide a fascinating picture of European royalty in the last two thirds of the nineteenth century.

Six pen-portraits describe the lives and ministry of the six men who served as Archbishop of Canterbury during Queen Victoria's long reign. Each of the archbishops has a dedicated chapter, providing a chronological narrative following the life and career of each, and describes the individual primate's involvement and management of the Church of England in the years in which he was called to office. Each chapter looks at the way the Church developed under the leadership of each archbishop as well as the life and work of the individual Primate. It describes the ecclesiastical and political controversies which occurred in Church life in the Victorian period and also the Church's political interaction with the establishment. The book shows how the Victorian Church engaged with the issues of its day, both political and ecclesial, and how, under the leadership of these six remarkable men, Anglicanism became a worldwide church.

Of the ten Victorian Prime Ministers, there were some, like the maverick Palmerston, who never ceased to exasperate Queen Victoria, while others, like the charming Disraeli, could do no wrong in her eyes. From the dour and dull to the eccentric and flamboyant, they came and went through her palaces, and their extensive communications show that, far from being the perpetually mourning and self-absorbed 'widow of Windsor', she continued to play an active role in the political life of the country and the Empire from the earliest days of her sixty-two reign to the final weeks of her life.

Vivimos en un mundo cambiante y acelerado, que nos quiere absorber con sus avances tecnol gicos y nos quiere presentar una vida distinta a la que Dios nos ordena, un mundo que cuando habla de victorias se refiere a tener una vida llena de dinero o tener un nombre reconocido para ser famoso. Han asociado la palabra victoria con xito de una mala manera y han corrompido el lenguaje de su esencia. Nos han educado desde las escuelas, que debes formarte como un profesional para ser alguien en la vida y han captado tu atenci n en los medios de comunicaci n present ndote una imagen de lo que pudieras ser si te entregas por completo al trabajo y as ignorar las verdades m s poderosas de vivir una Vida en Victoria.Sencillamente la palabra victoria es el medio para obtener el triunfo, pero si ese medio est corrompido o desligado de los m s importantes momentos de tu vida en tu hogar, con tu familia, est s yendo en direcci n contraria al mismo y pudieras disfrutar de una victoria temporal teniendo dinero, pero al final el triunfo conquistado es uno que se desvanece, uno del cual ser recordado con l stima, de aquel que gast su vida en tantas cosas pasajeras y no se enfoc en invertir en las cosas eternas, como son los principios, la moral y la educaci n.En victoria siempre es un lenguaje que nace desde el coraz n y con las m s fuertes convicciones en la fe puesta en Dios, aunque existan d as nublados el sol vuelve a brillar, aunque no haya alimentos en la despensa, ma ana se llenar n, aunque no tengas un billete para invertir, te alcanzar la prosperidad, porque, si la victoria es el medio hacia el triunfo, ese medio debe ser llamado fe, donde ya creemos que todo est hecho y que siempre vamos a ser bendecidos y cuando vengan los procesos levantaremos el pulgar arriba y diremos: EN VICTORIA SIEMPRE, porque all tambi n estamos siendo educados espiritual, emocional y f sicamente para vivir una vida desde la visi n de Dios y no de la nuestra.Cuando Jes s dijo sus ltimas palabras en la cruz de Calvario, desde ese d a hasta ahora, no hay otra cosa que decir sino que estamos en VICTORIA, ninguna circunstancia podr cambiar este escenario de conquista y todo lo que era contrario para verg enza nuestra, fue clavado en ese madero, as que no hay otro lenguaje que pueda desmentir la verdad que est por encima de todas las realidades, estamos en victoria porque es una orden del cielo y el destino de aquellos que creen que el poder de la cruz y de la resurrecci n de Jes s, es suficiente para caminar exitosamente.Espero que las experiencias que he tenido, las que he plasmado en este libro puedan ayudarte a ver la vida, desde los ojos de Dios, quien estar siempre interesado en tu crecimiento integral y es el primero que desea verte pr spero en toda la amplitud de esta palabra, en tus reas f sicas y mayormente en tu rea espiritual. Abre tu coraz n y deja que el dulce Esp ritu Santo te toque mientras lees y creas que toda tu historia ya est previamente escrita y en las mejores manos, en las manos de Dios.
The Victoria Chronicles: Stories from old Victoria

The Victoria Chronicles: Stories from old Victoria

This collection of short stories is set in and around the town of old victoria located on the Man O' War bay coast to the west of the Rio del Rey. The government changed the name of the town to Limbe, but to some, it still remains Victoria. The stories drip with this nostalgia and reflect the passing of time from innocence to whatever happens after innocence. It is still a boisterous beautiful town and the stories in this volume would be familiar to anybody who grew up in Victoria. Those not so fortunate will derive some pleasure from reading them. History says in 1858, Alfred Saker founded the first European settlements in Victoria but failed to convince the English government to make the area a crown colony. Just as well, the English returned after the Germans lost in the Great War, and did what Alfred Saker failed to do in 1858.

'This admirable biography is a moving tribute to a prince who overcame much suffering, and it gives us a better understanding both of Victorian royal history and of a family coping with disability' - The Daily TelegraphPrince Leopold, Duke of Albany (1853-84), is acknowledged to have been the most intelligent and probably the most interesting of Queen Victoria's four sons. He was by all accounts a strong-willed, attractive character, with an immense thirst for life. He was also, however, the first haemophilia sufferer in the royal family and endured continual ill health; as if haemophilia was not enough, he was also epileptic. When did the Queen and Prince Albert realise that their youngest son was ill and how much did they understand of his illness? Some of Leopold's early attacks were described as ""rheumatism"" - was this an attempt to keep the truth concealed or a genuine misunderstanding? In this biography, Charlotte Zeepvat has drawn on various sources to reveal a compelling human story which delves into the complexities of Leopold's relationship with his mother for the first time. The book also examines Leopold's life at Oxford, the varied and interesting friendships he developed there (with, among others, Charles Dodgson - ""Lewis Carroll"" - John Ruskin and Oscar Wilde), whilst also touching on the wider worlds of literature, art and politics in the Victorian period.

Queen Victoria came to the throne almost without resources, under threat from republicanism, in a period of social, political and economic turbulence. She died, having revived the failing image of the British monarchy, head of one of the world's richest families. Victoria was the first monarch in British history to combine the public role of head of state with the private one of wife and mother. Alone among married women she was not governed by laws which stipulated surrendering both name and fortune to one's husband. Yet she herself opposed the movement for women's rights.The complex effects of Victoria's gender on public attitudes and her own actions are brilliantly drawn out in this intriguing book.

Queen Victoria fell in love with the Riviera when she discovered it on her first visit to Menton in 1882 and her enchantment with this 'paradise of nature' endured for almost twenty years. Victoria's visits helped to transform the French Riviera by paving the way for other European royalty, the aristocracy and the very rich, who were to turn it into their pleasure garden. Michael Nelson paints a fascinating portrait of Victoria and her dealings with local people of all classes, statesmen and the constant stream of visiting crown heads. In the process, we see an unexpected side to Victoria: not the imperious, petulant, mourning widow but rather an exuberant girlish old lady thrilled by her surroundings. "Queen Victoria and the Discovery of the Riviera" is an absorbing and revealing account that makes an important contribution to both our understanding of Victoria's character and personality and our view of the late Victorian period.
