Beschreibung

For centuries, Denmark "punched above its weight" and was a major player on the European stage. Many know about the Danish Vikings and their voyages of conquest and discovery, but Denmark is more than just those medieval raiders and traders, even though interest in their adventures is at an all-time high today.
Denmark became the first Scandinavian country to convert to Christianity, though this was likely as much to protect themselves from Christian kingdoms to the south and to increase their trade with Christian nations than any love for Christian beliefs.
Denmark has been at peace since WWII, but its position between the North and Baltic Seas makes it an important part of NATO, allowing it to once more "punch above its weight." But despite its location, Denmark has managed to not only remain at peace but is today ranked as one of the happiest nations on Earth.
You will discover many astounding facts about Denmark's history in this book. Discover the answer to fascinating questions like the following:

- Does Denmark really appear in the top three of the world's "happiest" countries?
- Were the Danish Vikings only interested in conquest? And what were their relations like with Europe before the Viking Age?
- Who was Cnut the Great, and why was he so important in the history of countries like England, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden?
- Who the current Danish royal family is descended from? (Hint: it is not a Dane!)
- How and when did Denmark establish the wide-ranging social safety net it is so well-known for today?
- What role did Germany play in Denmark losing its status as an offensive military power? What was life like for Danish Jews during WWII?  
You'll find these answers and many more in Captivating History's History of Denmark!

    How is the baton of experience passed from generation to generation? What is transmitted? Ardyn Halter explores the legacy of his late father Roman Halter's experiences of the Holocaust. What is received by the "Second Generation" and how can it be expressed in language or art? A journey to Rwanda to complete a commission to commemorate the Rwandan genocide, and a journey to Poland. The Fire and the Bonfire reveals a close - though also difficult - father-son relationship and explores genocide through art, which leads to unexpected discoveries. 
    "This is a book that needs to be read more than once. Ardyn Halter has written about an agonizingly difficult subject with a painter's eye, a novelist's sense of pace and suspense, a philosophical mind - and he has done it superbly." - Hillel Halkin 
    "...this is powerful. Raw and incredibly sad. Your clear eye and honesty had me gasping for breath at times." - Fergal Keane  
    "A hugely eloquent, painfully honest and insightful text... A work of art to be savoured in its own right." - Monica Bohm-Duchen

    "The Stillwater Tragedy" by Thomas Bailey Aldrich is a fictional novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story delves into the dark and mysterious atmosphere surrounding a murder in the seemingly idyllic village of Stillwater. As the narrative unfolds, it reveals the tumultuous and often harsh lives of the townsfolk, with a particular focus on several key characters, including the recently deceased wealthy man, Mr. Lemuel Shackford, and his estranged cousin, Richard Shackford. 
    The story opens with a chilling tone just before daybreak in Stillwater, where the body of Mr. Shackford lies dead, the victim of a violent crime. As the sun rises, the village awakens to its daily rhythm while grappling with the shock of the murder. Young Mary Hennessey, whose delayed milk delivery leads her to discover the crime scene, unwittingly becomes the center of attention as gossip spreads throughout the town. 
    Shortly after the discovery, the townspeople gather in anxiety and suspicion, prompting an investigation led by local authorities. Through vivid descriptions and evocative character portrayals, the beginning of the novel establishes an unsettling mood as it explores themes of violence, greed, and the fragile nature of community bonds in the face of tragedy.
