Sinopsis

"The Son of the Sheik," Rudolph Valentino's final film, serves as a thrilling sequel to his earlier success in "The Sheik." In this silent film classic, Valentino plays a dual role, both as the young, passionate Ahmed and his father, the original Sheik. Set against the sweeping deserts of North Africa, the story delves into themes of revenge, love, and redemption as Ahmed seeks to avenge his honor after a betrayal, only to find himself deeply in love with the daughter of his enemy. This film showcases Valentino at his most charismatic and physically adept, delivering a performance that is both emotionally compelling and action-packed. "The Son of the Sheik" is celebrated not only for its dramatic storytelling and exotic locales but also as a poignant farewell to one of cinema's first true superstars.

On the Lukmanier route to Italy in the Swiss Alps, in the village of Flims, stands the 17th century Schlössli, the former residence of the wealthy and influential Johann Gaudenz von Capol (1641–1723). With its stucco work by artists from Valle Mesolcina and Southern Germany, stoves from Winterthur and the Lake Constance region, a panelled parlour – possibly by a southern German master, and a panel from Eger, the building unites prevailing influences from allover Europe. The architectural monument is an excellent example of how open and internationally oriented the inhabitants were even1883, first to Berlin and later to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where it is still located and called ‹Swiss Room›, as wellas the conversion of the residential house into the town hall of Flims – also exemplifies a chapter of Swiss art and cultural history.

"Modern Nations: The Making of Australia, New Zealand, and Māori Identity (2 in 1)" explores the transformative journey of two nations as they evolved from colonial settlements into independent, modern states, while also examining the ongoing struggle for recognition and identity among Indigenous communities. This two-part volume captures the complex and often challenging histories that shaped Australia and New Zealand, revealing how these countries forged their national identities amidst cultural clashes, political shifts, and social change.

The second section, History of Australia, explores the formation of modern Australia — from its origins as a British penal colony to its emergence as a diverse and independent nation — while also acknowledging the profound and lasting effects of colonization on Aboriginal communities.  
Together, these narratives provide a comprehensive understanding of how colonial histories, Indigenous resistance, and nation-building efforts have shaped the modern identities of Australia, New Zealand, and their Indigenous peoples. This book is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the dynamic and often contested histories that continue to influence these nations today.
