In diesem abenteuerlichen Reisebericht erz hlen zwei Geschwister, wie sie unterschiedlicher nicht sein k nnten, von ihrer gemeinsamen Reise zur Kathedrale nach Chartres. L sst man sich auf die verschiedenen Sichtweisen ein, so erlebt man intensiv die Ereignisse, Gedanken und Gef hle der beiden Erz hlenden mit. Vielleicht erlebt der eine oder andere Leser sogar mehr, als wenn er selber nach Chartres gefahren w re. Es mag f r einige etwas verr ckt erscheinen, was dort passiert. W hrend die gef hlvolle Schwester in ihrer Wahrnehmung st ndig auf der Suche nach Sinneserfahrungen in der Natur ist, in denen sie das Leben und sich selbst intensiver sp ren kann als erlebbares Gl ck, geht es dem Bruder darum, die Welt zu verstehen. Dabei ist er st ndig auf der Suche, etwas Neues zu entdecken, das vor ihm noch niemand erforscht hat. Dies gelingt ihm auch in Chartres. Er weist nach, dass die heidnischen Kultst tten der Druiden in Form des Sternbildes der Jungfrau ber das heutige Frankreich verteilt wurden.

"In The Cornucopia, Tom Cook leads us on an expedition 100 years back in time to a remote mountainside in Northeast Oregon. Once there, Cook lets us experience the enchanting, dangerous and sometimes heartwarming history of Oregon's largest gold mining operation. Not fanciful fiction, this is an affectionately told story of real people scratching a living out of the cold hard rock of Oregon's Wallowa Mountains. The Cornucopia adds a new volume to the great historical literature about America's Old West." - Dave Imus, author of The Essential Geography of the United States of America and other maps

For 15 years, Cornelia Lager has endured a loveless marriage in turn-of-the-century rural Oregon. When her husband suddenly dies, she tries gallantly but unsuccessfully to run their farm single-handedly. Without income she must move into a dreary boarding house operated by the overbearing Hazel Romano and her hen-pecked husband, Frank. Accustomed to hard work, Cornelia fights boredom and loneliness in her bleak room, amid a motley assortment of male and female boarders. One evening at supper, everyone is shocked when Hazel chokes to death on a piece of her notoriously tough roasts. After a brief period of mourning their first question is, who will prepare the meals? Always passionate about cooking, Cornelia enthusiastically volunteers. Her tasty meals and nurturing ways have an almost magical effect on the boarders who gradually become a friendlier, happier group. So friendly, in fact, that romance blossoms among several couples, even Cornelia and Frank. Convinced that the boarding house has become a bordello, the prudish townspeople demand that it be closed down. To maintain their livelihood Cornelia and Frank come up with a creative solution that leads the novel to a happy conclusion. Enriched by historical and culinary detail, Cornucopia brings us colorful characters who are beset with moral dilemmas but determined to find romance and personal achievement.

Over the decades Francis M. Nevins has written dozens of articles and essays on the major influences of crime literature and here he collects them in 450+ pages. Coupled with some current essays on people he's known this makes for a book that any mystery fan will cherish and use as a reference book.
Cornucopia offers an exciting literary adventure that will captivate readers with its vivid poetic use of language. The novel poses an unusual example because of its flowing cinematic narrative style, which depicts seeing, experiencing, and feeling. Rather than simply "telling," it "shows." Instead of one story and one plot, there are numerous small stories that twist and turn in unforgettable ways. Written in the first person through the eyes of a mixed-race boy growing from childhood to adolescence in the British colony of Guiana, the book shows how a writer emerges, molded by observation, contemplation, and intellectual curiosity, via his obsessive reading, cinematic appreciation, musical attention, interest in history, and use of memory.What distinguishes this novel of surprises from familiar literature of the Americas is its deep understanding and precise characterizations of the actions that resulted in the European colonization of Guyana. It deftly avoids any specific slant to historical facts or interpretation, which can become clich s and stereotypes about the colonial ventures and lifestyles of colonizer and colonized. With sharply detailed honesty and wit, author Terence Roberts uses his own diverse and adventurous family history to explore the obscure roots and identity of his and other people of mixed race, an urgent topic today.The richly woven cosmopolitan history of Guyana, from its Dutch and French colonial beginning before it became British Guiana to its 1966 independence, is evoked via the narrator's upbringing and adult education in the capital of Georgetown. This highly cultured 20th-century hot spot of literary and public cinematic culture has references extending the content of Cornucopia to explorations of pleasure.Cornucopia marks a surprising step forward in modern literary tradition, steeped in the legacy of Marcel Proust, Claude Simon, and Marguerite Duras. It is to such forebears that the writer's literary influences belong, resulting in his progressive first novel.About the Author: Born in British Guiana in the mid-20th century, Terence Roberts comes from a Guyanese family of ancient adventurers comprised of five different cultures and nationalities.He first emerged at the end of the 1960s as a teenage poet and prose writer, winning the Guyana Arts Council 1st Prize for fiction in 1968. Brought by his parents to live in Toronto in 1969, he remained in touch with Guyana, becoming the commuting lead columnist on cinema for the weekend national newspaper, the Guyana Chronicle.In the 1970s, he emerged as a contemporary painter, winning Canada Council Grants and receiving diplomatic sponsorship for his foreign exhibitions. The author, poet, and painter has lived in Montreal, New York, Caracas, Mexico City, Madrid, Rome, Turin, Milan, Monaco, and Nice.

Personal discovery of life through travel, love, long-lasting friendships. Enjoyable verses that arouse a different feeling each time you read them. Greetings from a nature lover and certainly a sentimental traveller of time.
Close-up photos of plump apricots, juicy mangoes, crisp lettuce … these are familiar to us all through cookery books and garden guides. But seeing fruit and vegetables as detailed art, viewed through eighteenth-century eyes, is something very different – and more interesting. Thanks to intrepid explorers and plant-hunters, Britain and the rest of Europe have long enjoyed a wide and wonderful array of fruit and vegetables. Some wealthy households even created orangeries and glasshouses for tender exotics and special pits in which to raise pineapples, while tomatoes, sweetcorn and runner beans from the New World expanded the culinary repertoire. This wealth of choice attracted interest beyond the kitchen and garden. In the 1730s, a prosperous Bavarian apothecary produced the first volume of a comprehensive A to Z of all available plants, meticulously documented, and lavishly illustrated by botanical artists. 'A Cornucopia of Fruit & Vegetables' is a glimpse into his world. It features exquisite illustrations of the edible plants in his historic treasury, allowing us to enjoy the sight of swan-necked gourds and horned lemons, smile at silkworms hovering over mulberries and delight at the quirkiness of ‘strawberry spinach’ … a delicious medley of garden produce and exotics that will capture the imagination of gardeners and art-lovers alike.
