Beschreibung

"Versailles Palace" unveils the story of this iconic structure as more than just architecture; it's a symbol of French absolutism, artistic ambition, and a stage for European history. Delving into its origins as Louis XIII's hunting lodge, the book traces its transformation into the lavish royal residence under Louis XIV, highlighting the architectural genius of figures like Le Vau and Hardouin-Mansart. One intriguing aspect is how Versailles served as a tool to control the French aristocracy, projecting an image of unparalleled grandeur and solidifying royal power. The book reveals the intricate interplay between power, art, and society in pre-revolutionary France.

 
The book uses a chronological and thematic approach. Starting with the pre-Versailles era, it progresses through key construction phases, spotlighting iconic areas such as the Hall of Mirrors and the Royal Apartments, before examining court life and political intrigues. "Versailles Palace" also explores the palace's lasting impact as a museum and symbol of French cultural heritage. By examining architectural plans, historical documents, and artistic interpretations, the book offers a multifaceted view of Versailles, making it valuable for anyone interested in history, architecture, and French culture.

    The shocking, tell-all memoir from '90s popstar and heart-throb formerly known as KavanaBorn in Manchester in 1977, Anthony Kavanagh's rise to fame was stratospheric, scoring a record deal at the age of just eighteen and winning the much-coveted Smash Hits Male Artist of the Year Award in 1997, all the while achieving top ten hits, appearing on countless magazine covers, performing on Top of the Pops and gigging alongside the Spice Girls. The stuff that dreams are made of.  But Anthony - or Kavana as he came to be known - was also trying to keep his sexuality a secret while navigating his way through an industry where image was everything; where his success depended on him having to be exactly who he wasn't.What followed was a dark and dangerous spiral into addiction, an illness that would insidiously follow and baffle him for years to come. Pop Scars is a story told with fearless honesty that's at times as funny as it is heartbreaking, chronicling the highs, the lows, the self-destruction and the chaos of hitting rock bottom and then finding out that rock bottom has a basement.Thirty years on, Anthony is ready to tell his jaw-dropping story. Pop Scars is a book about teenage stardom, fame, addiction, grief and - ultimately - survival and sobriety.

    St Gall cathedral was built in 1755–1770 as the church of the Benedictine monastery, which was dissolved in 1805. In the Middle Ages this church, erected on the site of the hermitage of St Gallus, was one of the most important monasteries in the western world. Today the Abbey Archive and Abbey Library still possess invaluable documentary evidence from that era. The Baroque monastery complex testifies to the flourishing of the prince-abbey in the 17th and 18th centuries. The church, like the adjacent abbey library, built after the plans of Peter Thumb and decorated by the best South German artists of the day, forms the monumental conclusion of a long series of Baroque abbey churches realised by Vorarlberg master builders. St Gall’s abbey district is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the collections of the Abbey Library and Archive are included in the UNESCO World Documentary Heritage List.
