I'm so sick of watching the world spin by. Of letting people think I'm plain and boring, too afraid to just be myself.Then I see him.John.He's strength and fury and unapologetic.He's everything I want. And everything I wish I was.He won't want me, but that doesn't matter. The sight of him is all the inspiration I need to finally shatter this glass house I've built around myself.Only he does want me. And when our worlds collide, details we can't see become entwined, twisting together, trapping us in an invisible trap.But when it all goes wrong, I don't know if I'll be able to break free of the chains binding us, or if I'll suffocate in the process.
'Neither spoke another word, they were gripped by a shared, unthinking madness as they plunged headlong together into vertiginous rapture.' Orphaned with a substantial inheritance at the age of ten, Pauline Quenu is taken from Paris to live with her relatives, Monsieur and Madame Chanteau and their son Lazare, in the village of Bonneville on the wild Normandy coast. Her presence enlivens the household and Pauline is the only one who can ease Chanteau's gout-ridden agony. Her love of life contrasts with the insularity and pessimism that infects the family, especially Lazare, for whom she develops a devoted passion. Gradually Madame Chanteau starts to take advantage of Pauline's generous nature, and jealousy and resentment threaten to blight all their lives. The arrival of a pretty family friend, Louise, brings tensions to a head. The twelfth novel in the Rougon Macquart series, The Bright Side of Life is remarkable for its depiction of intense emotions and physical and mental suffering. The precarious location of Bonneville and the changing moods of the sea mirror the turbulent relations of the characters, and as the story unfolds its title comes to seem ever more ironic.
'A brilliantly readable account, based on exceptional access, of the transformation of the old Quaker bank into a hard-charging capitalist adventurer ... both a thriller and a reminder that business is fascinating because all human life is there' John Plender, Financial Times Based on unparalleled access to those involved, and told with compelling pace and drama, The Bank that Lived a Little describes three decades of boardroom intrigue at one of Britain's biggest financial institutions. In a tale of feuds, grandiose dreams and a struggle for supremacy between rival strategies and their adherents, Philip Augar gives a riveting account of Barclays' journey from an old Quaker bank to a full-throttle capitalist machine. The disagreement between those ambitious for Barclays to join the top table of global banks, and those preferring a smaller domestic role more in keeping with the bank's traditions, cost three chief executives their jobs and continues to divide opinion within Barclays, the City and beyond. This is an extraordinary corporate thriller, which among much else describes how Barclays came to buy Lehman Brothers for a bargain price in 2008, why it was so keen to avoid taking government funding during the financial crisis, and the price shareholders have paid for a decade of barely controlled ambition. But Augar also shows how Barclays' experiences are a paradigm for Britain's social and economic life over thirty years, which saw the City move from the edge of the economy to its very centre. These decades created unprecedented prosperity for a tiny number, and made the reputations of governments and individuals but then left many of them in tatters. The leveraged society, the winner-takes-all mentality and our present era of austerity can all be traced to the influence of banks such as Barclays. Augar's book tells this rollercoaster story from the perspective of many of its participants - and also of those affected by the grip they came to have on Britain. Autorid: Philip Augar
Georg Friedrich Händel hielt sich vermutlich von 1706 bis Anfang des Jahres 1710 in Italien auf. Über einen großen Teil dieser Zeit wissen wir wenig oder nichts. Die Monate, die der Komponist 1707 und 1708 in Rom verbrachte, sind jedoch ungewöhnlich gut dokumentiert. In dieser Zeit entstanden einige seiner schönsten und interessantesten Kompositionen - Werke, auf die Händel später immer wieder zurückgriff. Aus der Fülle dessen, was sich zum Thema "Händel in Rom" zeigen und sagen ließe, greift die mit diesem reich bebilderten Katalog dokumentierte Jahresausstellung im Händel-Haus Halle drei Aspekte heraus: - Als Händel nach Italien reiste, herrschte dort Krieg. Auch wenn Rom von Kampfhandlungen verschont blieb, prägte der Spanische Erbfolgekrieg mit Kriegsfurcht und Friedenshoffnung und dem heftigen Gegeneinander der Parteien das Leben in der Stadt und damit auch die Musik, die ihrerseits als Medium politischer Propaganda genutzt wurde - auch von Händels Auftraggebern. - Die Antike war und ist in Rom omnipräsent. Sie spiegelt sich in Händels Werk. Welche Kenntnisse brachte der junge Mann aus Halle mit, was interessierte die Zeitgenossen? - Händel war Protestant; der junge Mann kam aus dem Kernland der Reformation an den Regierungssitz des Papstes. In Rom hörte und komponierte Händel "katholische" Musik; eine für ihn später so wichtige Gattung wie das Oratorium lernte er hier erst kennen. Was geschah beim Eintauchen in die Welt einer fremden Konfession?
