Das abenteuerliche Leben der Sehnsuchtsbilder von Caspar David Friedrich – mitreißend erzählt von Florian Illies.

Kein anderes Weihnachtslied ergreift seit Jahrhunderten die Menschen mehr, als das von Joseph Mohr geschrieben und von Franz Gruber komponierte Lied "Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht".

Since its publication on September 30, 1868, Little Women has been one of America's favorite stories. While we now think of it as a girls' book, it was initially read by both boys and girls, men and women of all ages.
