Das Studium der deutschen Sprachgeschichte ist für jeden Studierenden der Germanistik Pflicht - und das bereits im Einführungsmodul: Kenntnisse der Sprachgeschichte schaffen die Grundlagen für Textverständnis. Ohne sprachgeschichtliches Wissen lassen sich Autoren früherer Zeiten nicht angemessen verstehen. Sprachgeschichte verschafft Einblicke in den historischen Wandel bei der Erfassung und Interpretation der Welt.§Lernen lässt sich das alles, so die jahrzehntelange Lehrerfahrung von Jörg Riecke, am besten an einzelnen Textbeispielen aus allen Epochen. Eine weitere Besonderheit des Buches: Riecke verfasst eine erzählende Sprachgeschichte. Einprägsam zeichnet er die gesamte Entwicklung des Deutschen nach: beginnend mit der althochdeutschen Zeit, etwa um 750, über die Kanzleisprache und das Luther-Deutsch, über die Literatursprache der Klassik, die bürgerliche Sprachkultur des 19. Jahrhunderts bis in unsere Gegenwart.

A popular historian brings to life a forgotten chapter in American history: the deadly confrontation between Native Americans and colonists in Massachusetts in 1704, which led to one of the greatest sagas of adventure, survival, sacrifice, family, honor and faith ever told in North America. Illustrations. "Once it was one of the most famous events in early American history. Today, it has been nearly forgotten. In an obscure, two-hundred-year-old museum in a little village in western Massachusetts, there lies what once was the most revered but now totally forgotten relic from the history of early New England-the massive, tomahawk-scarred door that came to symbolize the notorious Deerfield Massacre. This impregnable barricade-known to early Americans as "The Old Indian Door"-constructed from double-thick planks of Massachusetts oak and studded with hand-wrought iron nails to repel the flailing tomahawk blades of several attacking native tribes, is the sole surviving artifact from the most dramatic moment in colonial American history: Leap Year, February 29,1704, a cold, snowy night when hundreds of native Americans and their French allies swept down upon an isolated frontier outpost and ruthlessly slaughtered its inhabitants. The sacking of Deerfield led to one of the greatest sagas of adventure, survival,sacrifice, family, honor, and faith ever told in North America. 112 survivors, including their fearless minister, the Reverand John Williams, were captured and led on a 300-mile forced march north, into enemy territory in Canada. Any captive who falteredor became too weak to continue the journey-including Williams's own wife and one of his children-fell under the knife or tomahawk. Survivors of the march willed themselves to live and endured captivity. Ransomed by the King of England's royal governor ofMassachusetts, the captives later returned home to Deerfield, rebuilt their town and, for the rest of their lives, told the incredible tale. The memoir of Rev. Williams, The Redeemed Captive, became the first bestselling book in American history and published a few years after his liberation, it remains a literary classic. The old Indian door is a touchstone that conjures up one of the most dramatic and inspiring stories of colonial America-and now, finally, this legendary event is brought to vivid life by popular historian James Swanson"-- From the New York Times bestselling author of Manhunt (now an Apple TV+ series) and in the tradition of Empire of the Summer Moon comes a vivid account (The Wall Street Journal) of a forgotten chapter in American history: the deadly confrontation between natives and colonists in Massachusetts in 1704 and the tragic saga that unfolded.Once it was one of the most infamous events in early American history.
