Beschreibung

In "Louise, Queen of Prussia," Heinrich Merz explores the life and legacy of one of Germany's most beloved historical figures, Queen Louise, through a rich narrative that blends biographical detail with historical analysis. Merz employs a lyrical yet accessible literary style, skillfully weaving together personal anecdotes, political intrigue, and cultural context to present Louise not merely as a queen but as a symbol of resilience during the tumultuous Napoleonic Wars. The book reflects the Romantic era's fascination with monarchy and nationalism, offering readers a poignant glimpse into the complexities of power and femininity in 19th-century Europe. Heinrich Merz, a noted historian and biographer, draws upon extensive research and personal insights that reflect his deep appreciation for German history and culture. His background in history, along with a keen interest in the sociopolitical dynamics of the time, provides an authentic perspective that enriches the narrative. Merz's dedication to illuminating the depth of Queen Louise's character makes this work not only informative but also profoundly engaging, shedding light on how a single figure can influence national identity and collective memory. Readers interested in history, feminism, or the confluences of power and personal agency will find "Louise, Queen of Prussia" to be an essential addition to their libraries. Merz's evocative storytelling and meticulous scholarship create an inspiring portrait that invites us to reflect on the legacies of historical figures who shape the narratives of nations. This book promises to resonate on both an intellectual and emotional level, making it a must-read for anyone captivated by history.

    A stunning memoir of one man's search for his birth parents, which uncovered an astonishing global scandal at the heart of the Catholic Church. 
    When Brendan Watkins was eight years old, his parents told him he was adopted. In his late twenties, he discovered the identity of his birth mother - a woman who had been a Catholic nun when he was born - but she wanted nothing to do with him. For thirty years he only managed limited communication with her, and had no clues to the identity of his birth father.  
    In 2018, a DNA test led him to the truth: he was the son of a celebrated missionary priest. His father had studied in a Trappist monastery in Ireland, had a career as a builder, was a Bondi Lifesaver, a trophy-winning ballroom dancer, was a landscape painter, a fine chocolate maker, met Mother Teresa and toured the world. 
     An astounding story had been uncovered which simply had to be told. After decades of searching, Brendan Watkins had discovered that his birth parents were a Catholic priest and a nun. Tell No One explores the questions, anxieties and reflections arising from this hidden past.

    A memoir about sea changes, marriage and riding the waves of midlife 
     
    When Covid lockdowns hit Melbourne, metropolitan midlife couple Kate and Chris decide to make a sea change and move to a small coastal town to ease financial pressures and live out the beach lifestyle many of us dream of. But they didn't give much thought to just how different it would be.  
     
    With late night drinking sessions in Melbourne's coolest suburbs replaced by the disconcerting peace of a summer destination largely quiet for the rest of the year, they're suddenly rattling around in their beautiful new home without kids, friends or a real community. 
     
    And when a disturbing truth about their marriage becomes unavoidable, it's time to face up to reality and ask what's really important. Should they stay or should they go? And what's next when your whole world seems to come crashing down around you?
