Ergebnis für "Goethe" in Europa

Goethe was the inventor of the psychological novel, a pioneer scientist, great man of the theatre and a leading politician. As A. N. Wilson argues in this groundbreaking biography, it was his genius and insatiable curiosity that helped catapult the Western world into the modern era. A N. Wilson tackles the life of Goethe with characteristic wit and verve. From his youth as a wild literary prodigy to his later years as Germany’s most respected elder statesman, Wilson hones in on Goethe’s undying obsession with the work he would spend his entire life writing – Faust.

The Goths are the most enigmatic of all the ancient German tribes. Their name today is still widely in use for a variety of cultural and artistic movements. But unlike other famous German tribes whose names are still descriptive of nations they founded - the Franks, the Lombards, the Angles, the Saxons and the Alemanni - the Goths simply disappeared. The subject of Henry Bradley's splendid short history is tracing the rise, the migrations, and the impact of the Goths on European history along with their spectacular fall.

In this book, we will delve into the fascinating world of the Goths with a scientific lens, exploring everything we can about how they came about, where they lived, what they did, and how they died off. We will look into the nitty-gritty details of their everyday life, as well as some major historical events that were affected by Goths of any variety. Do strap yourselves in - there are quite a few of those.

The birth of Europe as people know it today was hardly an easy and effortless process. The Old World was reshaped by centuries of continuous wars, raids, and the falls and rises of empires. The most turbulent of these events happened at the beginning of the Middle Ages, from the third through seventh centuries CE. This was the time when the old slave society gave way to the feudal system that marked the latter Middle Ages, and it was also a period of battles between the Roman Empire and various barbarian peoples.

Conosci il paese dove fioriscono i limoni? Mille volte ripetuta, la domanda che è nel verso di Goethe conserva ancora lo stupore di chi la pone e la nostalgia di chi la riceve. Viaggio tra i più famosi dei tanti che vanno a comporre la biblioteca del Grand Tour, quello del grande scrittore tedesco ha, più degli altri, il colore sentimentale di un ritorno al luogo da cui tutti siamo partiti.

Cuando J. R. R. Tolkien estaba escribiendo su obra más conocida, El señor de los anillos, entre 1937 y 1949, se inspiró en varias fuentes, siendo el folclore europeo la mayor fuente de inspiración. Sin embargo, según algunas fuentes, también usaría figuras históricas de la vida real y basaría sus personajes en ellas. Tomemos a Théoden, por ejemplo. Théoden era un anciano rey de Rohan que, después de que Gandalf el mago lo ayudara a quitarle el yugo de Grima Lengua de Serpiente, se lanzó a la batalla y murió aplastado por su caballo.

It goes without saying that the Goths played an integral part in the history of Europe during this time, and they remain among the most notorious and controversial groups in history. By the 4th century CE, The Goths were among the prominent barbarian groups who became a threat to the Roman Empire, but they also had contacts with the Romans well before then, and they even traded for awhile.

L'Italia nel '700 è, come sappiamo, ancora divisa in stati e staterelli che si "barcamenano" per tutto il secolo per conservare quel bizzarro equilibrio politico che sarà sconvolto solo nella seconda metà dell'800. Ma il "bel paese" comincia ad attrarre i primi colti e curiosi intellettuali europei che vanno alla ricerca degli antichi splendori, delle bellezze e delle tracce storiche di quel che l'Italia fu nel passato.

Goethe, prima di scrivere il suo Faust, intraprese un viaggio in italia. Il famoso poeta, tra le tante avventure al Sud, rubò anche il cuore ad Angelika Kaufmann. Con lui in viaggio il grigionese Carl Ulysses von Salis-Marschlins. Insieme i due scalano il Vesuvio.
