Indeed, that's one of the reasons I don't pesonally like fantasy. The VIking age, the Viking gods, the Viking voyages of discovery that took them to Russia, to England, to Spain, to Italy, to Ireland, to Iceland, to Greenland, and thence to North America, hundreds of years before Columbus - all these realities are beyong imagining. In order to do justice to these fierce Northern raiders who struck such fear into the minds of our ancestors, we need to clear our own minds of the clutter of prejudices and received opinions that have always surrounded them. Just as we need to remember that they never wrote down a word about themselves. The first thing I need to say about my own work on Vikings is that it is drama and not a documentary. The second, and equally important, thing to note is that the drama is based on historical research and historical record. These two ideas are not, as some might think, contradictory. Long before I start to write, I spend weeks, even months, rummaging about in accounts of Viking life, society, and culture, teasing out story lines and watching as various characters begin to emerge from the material and claim my attention. In this process I'm helped by our historical adviser, Justin Pollard, an expert on the Dark Ages. Justin carefully guides me through the labyrinth of Viking myth, legend, and historical account so that I know my narrative is as credible and as authentic as I can make it." - excerpt from the Foreword by Michael Hirst.

Gartenparadiese auf der grünen InselVielen gilt England als das Gartenland per se; nur wenige wissen, dass Irland eine mindestens genauso faszinierende Vielfalt an Gärten und Pflanzen zu bieten hat. Sowohl der raue Norden als auch der durch den Golfstrom mit tropischen Klimabedingungen versehene Westen und Südwesten sowie die Wales und Cornwall zugeneigte Ostseite der Insel bieten eine große Bandbreite hinreißender Gartenanlagen: von großen Gärten, die Bestandteil der Anwesen berühmter anglo-irischer Adelsfamilien waren, über die der Natur abgetrotzten ummauerten Gärten von Klöstern und Herrenhäusern bis hin zu den blühenden Paradiesen passionierter Pflanzensammler der Vergangenheit und Gegenwart. Die traumhaft schönen Bilder des Fotografen Jonathan Hession fangen die beeindruckende und magische Wirkung der Anlagen und ihrer Einbettung in die Landschaft ein; die Texte von Jane Powers lassen die Gärten, ihre Entstehung und ihre Besonderheiten lebendig werden. Gehen Sie mit auf eine Reise durch rund 40 magische Refugien auf der grünen Insel!Ausstattung: Mit ca. 550 Abbildungen. - Wir versenden aus unserem deutschen Lager heraus in plastikfreien oder wiederverwendeten Polstertaschen.
