    When in French: Love in a Second Language , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 463min
    We spoke to each other in endearments. My darling, my love, mon amour, ma chérie, poussin, mouton, bébé... People we knew, I think, made fun of us. What they didn't know was that we couldn't say each other's names. After a lifetime spent living firmly in English, Lauren Collins finds herself adrift in French-speaking Geneva. Having fallen in love with Olivier, a Frenchman, Lauren wakes up one day to the realisation that she is living in a community where she cannot speak the language and that she is married to a man whose name she doesn't dare speak in public, for fear of mispronunciation. A New Yorker journalist skilled at making a living through her writing, Lauren is suddenly no longer able to communicate with the local shop owners, let alone her in-laws. As she embarks on learning French in her new surroundings, Lauren reflects on her lifelong love affair with language and her own linguistic roots. A funny, thoughtful memoir, When in French looks at how our mother tongues shape our lives, from how we think to how we fall in love, and what happens when two languages and two very different cultures collide. ungekürzt.

    In Camera - Francis Bacon
    A lavishly illustrated look at the sources behind the paintings of Francis Bacon.Francis Bacon famously found inspiration in photographs, film-stills and mass-media imagery. In this new, updated edition of In Camera, Martin Harrison reveals how these sources informed some of Bacon's most important paintings and triggered decisive turning points in the artist's stylistic development.Key influences, including the masters Velázquez, Poussin and Rodin, the photographer Eadweard Muybridge and the film director Sergei Eisenstein, are given close consideration. Bacon's work is examined in relation to the precedents set by other artists working in the tradition of making use of mechanical reproductions, including Pablo Picasso and Walter Sickert, and in the context of his contemporaries Lucian Freud, Mark Rothko, Graham Sutherland and Patrick Heron. With the aid of over 270 illustrations, including valuable source images and documents, In Camera is a bravura accomplishment of original research, addressing important questions about Bacon's painting practice and shedding fresh light on his life and work.

    Buckingham Palace: The Interiors
    Interior designer and artist Ashley Hicks presents his photographs and description of the interior design of Buckingham Palace, home of Britain's royal family since 1837. An important representation of Regency, Victorian, and Edwardian styles, the palace is the work of such noted architects as John Nash and Sir Aston Webb. Hicks records the formal spaces with vibrancy, capturing the magnificent rooms furnished with treasures from the Royal Collection.Starting at the Grand Staircase, Hicks leads us through the state rooms, which include the White Drawing Room and the Blue Drawing Room that both overlook the palace gardens; the Ballroom, which is the setting for twenty investiture ceremonies each year; and the Throne Room, used by Queen Victoria for spectacular costume balls in the 1840s. The long, skylit Picture Gallery is hung with important works of art from the Royal Collection by Rembrandt van Rijn, Peter Paul Rubens, Nicolas Poussin, Anthony van Dyck, Johannes Vermeer, and Canaletto, among others. Decorative furnishings from George IV's exotic Brighton Pavilion lend a fanciful turn to many of the rooms.

    Peter Handkes Bildpoetik
    Marit Heuß entdeckt Peter Handkes »persönliches Epos« - seine Notizbücher - und damit seine in Zeichnungen, Kunstbeschreibungen und Erzählungen facettenreiche »Bildpoetik«.Das »Bild« wird für den Nobelpreisträger zur »Vokabel der Universalsprache«, zum Inbegriff seiner Poetik. Über die Lektüre der reich bebilderten und unveröffentlichten »Merkhefte« Peter Handkes betrachtet Marit Heuß dessen Erzählen seit dem Debüt »Die Hornissen« 1966 bis hin zu den Großprojekten »Langsame Heimkehr« 1979 und »Der Bildverlust« 2002 als ein Schreiben, das sich am »Bild« orientiert. In der Notizbuchsammlung des Handke-Vorlasses am Deutschen Literaturarchiv Marbach finden sich ab 1975/1976 - seither führt der Schriftsteller täglich Notizbuch - eigene Zeichnungen des Autors. Die Bildmotive reichen von Nachahmungen der »ersten Zeichnungen von Menschen« - wie das archaische Felsbild eines Büffels - bis hin zu andersartig »arkadischen« Landschaftsbildern aus dem »tiefen Österreich«. Auch Alltagsskizzen,ornamentale Figuren oder Kritzeleien fehlen nicht. Handkes »Bilderatlas« birgt zudem hunderte Beschreibungen von Kunst in Museen - Cézanne, van Gogh, Rothko, Poussin, Goya, Bosch, Vermeer, Zurbarán - sowie in Sakralbauten von Santiago de Compostela bis nach Thessaloniki. Heuß fragt nach den ästhetischen und geistigen Horizonten dieser Bilder für Handkes Erzählungen.

    Louis XIV and the Zenith of the French Monarchy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 763min
    Louis XIV, known as the Grand Monarch, or the Sun King, was a sovereign of the House of Bourbon who reigned as King of France from 1643 until his death in 1715. His reign of 72 years is the longest recorded of any monarch in European history. In the age of absolutism, Louis XIV's France was the leader in the growing centralization of power. Louis began his personal rule of France in 1661, after the death of his chief minister, the Italian Cardinal Mazarin. An adherent of the concept of the divine right of kings, Louis continued his predecessors' work of creating a centralized state governed from the capital. He sought to eliminate the remnants of feudalism persisting in parts of France and, by compelling many members of the nobility to inhabit his lavish Palace of Versailles, succeeded in pacifying the aristocracy, many members of which had participated in the Fronde rebellion during Louis' minority. By these means Louis XIV became one of the most powerful French monarchs of all time, consolidating a system of absolute monarchical rule that endured until the French Revolution. Louis encouraged and benefited from the work of prominent political, military, and cultural figures such as Mazarin, Colbert, Louvois, the Grand Condé, Turenne, and Vauban, as well as dazzling artists like Molière, Racine, Corneille, La Fontaine, Lully, Rameau, Couperin, Marais, Le Brun, Rigaud, Bossuet, Le Vau, Mansart, Charles and Claude Perrault, Lorrain, Poussin, Le Nôtre, and the brilliant mathematician Descartes. During Louis' reign, France was the leading European power, and it fought three major wars: the Franco-Dutch War, the War of the League of Augsburg, and the War of the Spanish Succession. There were also two lesser conflicts: the War of Devolution and the War of the Reunions. Warfare defined the foreign policy of Louis XIV, and his personality shaped his approach. Impelled by a mix of commerce, revenge, and pique, Louis sensed that warfare was the idea ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charlton Griffin.

    Madame de Pompadour: The Life and Legacy of French King Louis XV’s Chief Mistress , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 82min
    “After us, the deluge. I care not what happens when I am dead and gone.” (Madame de Pompadour) Jean Antoinette Poussin, the woman who would become known as Madame de Pompadour, was a middle-class girl of uncertain parenthood who became one of many in a long line of King Louis XV’s mistresses before she died at the age of 42. While none of that stands out on its own when it comes to French history and royalty, historians have labeled her “no ordinary king’s mistress.... She made and unmade ministers, she selected ambassadors, she appointed generals, [and] she conferred pensions and places.” In fact, her most savage critics concede her vital importance and historical legacy, even if begrudgingly, as one 1869 magazine noted: “If one could create an expurgated edition of history, one might put Madame de Pompadour out of sight; but alas! the 18th century, and even the French Revolution, cannot be understood without taking her into consideration. She was possessed of greater power in Europe than any woman of modern times, with the exception, perhaps, of Elizabeth of England, and Catherine of Russia. She was the Sultana of France for 20 years, with the Sultan in leading-strings. Therefore, history, with a blush, is obliged to chronicle the doings of the Pompadour.” Indeed, one writer compared her influence to some of the most famous Frenchmen to emerge from non-royal backgrounds: “Except for Bonaparte, and perhaps Robespierre, whose tenures were briefer, and de Gaulle, who was in principle answerable to an electorate, no French commoner - and certainly no woman - ever achieved such imperial sway.”  King Louis XV reigned for 72 years, and his predecessors had survived multiple palace intrigues and challenges to their thrones, sometimes by their mothers, wives, and members of the court. Louis XV had used Versailles, his grandfather’s getaway hunting lodge, to control the nobility and center court life around the king’s personality cult. Rather than seek poli ungekürzt.
