Distinguished by their lavish sculpture, metalwork or tile facades, Art Nouveau buildings certainly stand out. Art Nouveau buildings are unique, audacious and inspirational. Rejecting historic styles, considered inappropriate for an era driven by progress, architects and designers sought a new vocabulary of architectural forms. Their vision was shaped by modern materials and innovative technologies, including iron, glass and ceramics. A truly democratic style, Art Nouveau transformed life on the eve of the twentieth century and still captivates our imaginations today. Beautifully illustrated, this book explains how the new style came into being, its rationale and why it is known by so many different names: French Art Nouveau, German Jugendstil, Viennese Secession, Catalan Modernisme, Italian Liberty and Portuguese Arte Nova. It covers the key architects and designers associated with the style; Victor Horta in Brussels, Hector Guimard in Paris, Antoni Gaudi on Barcelona, Otto Wagner in Vienna, Odon Lechner in Budapest and Charles Rennie Mackintosh in Glasgow. There are detailed descriptions and stunning photographs of buildings to be found in Brussels, Paris, Nancy, Darmstadt, Vienna, Budapest, Barcelona, Milan, Turin and Aveiro. Finally, it covers the decorative arts, stained glass, tiles and metalwork that make Art Nouveau buildings so distinctive.

Anne Anderson has had a forty-five year career in Irish diplomacy. She joined the Department of Foreign Affairs in 1972, on the eve of Ireland's entry to the European Economic Community. She retired in 2017 from her final diplomatic posting as Ireland's Ambassador to the United States. Prior to this she also served as Ireland's Ambassador to France; to the United Nations, both in Geneva and New York; and to the European Union in Brussels. She was the first woman to represent Ireland in each of these roles. Her speeches collected in Thinking With My Pen cover a wide range of themes, including reflections on Irish foreign policy; on the EU and the United Nations; on culture and on gender. They illustrate the breadth and richness - as well as some of the challenges and complexities - of a life in diplomacy.

Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) ist der bekannteste Dichter und Schriftsteller D nemarks. Ber hmt wurde er durch seine zahlreichen M rchen. Angeregt wurde er durch die Br der Grimm und die deutschen Kunstm rchen. Zun chst ist in seinen M rchen noch eine deutliche Anlehnung an das Volkst mliche zu erkennen, doch schon bald entwickelte er seinen eigenen, unverwechselbaren Stil. Im Gegensatz zu den Volksm rchen, die grunds tzlich an einem unbestimmten Ort spielen, beschrieb er sorgf ltig den Schauplatz seiner Geschichten und achtete auf die N he zur kindlichen Weltauffassung. Seine Erz hlungen weisen eine einfache und ungek nstelte Sprache auf und wirken durch einen eindringlichen Erz hlton. Es ging ihm darum, das Wunderbare in die Wirklichkeit des Alltags hineinzuholen, ohne dass eine Kluft zwischen beidem entsteht, wie es bei den Romantikern oft der Fall war. In D nemark wie in Deutschland sah man in Andersens Erz hlungen in erster Linie M rchen f r Kinder. Das allerdings widersprach seinem eigenen Selbstverst ndnis, denn er selbst verstand sich als Autor f r alle Altersklassen. Inhalt: - Die kleine Seejungfrau - Ole Luk je (Der Sandmann) - Die Kr te - Die Geschichte von einer Mutter - Zwei Br der - Das h ssliche Entlein - Der Schneemann - Der standhafte Zinnsoldat - Suppe auf einem Wurstspeiler - Die Prinzessin auf der Erbse - Der Marionettenspieler - Der fliegende Koffer - Der alte Grabstein - Der Garten des Paradieses - Die Schneek nigin - Des Kaisers neue Kleider - Der Schweinehirt - Die Blumen der kleinen Ida - Der Reisekamerad - Die wilden Schw ne - Der Tannenbaum - Der silberne Schilling - Der Kleine Tuk - D umelinchen - Der gro e Klaus und der Kleine Klaus - Die Nachtigall - Das Kleine M dchen mit den Schwefelh lzchen - Die roten Schuhe - Der Schatten - Die lieblichste Rose der Welt - Der Goldschatz - Die Windm hle - und mehr ...
