Nach dem Tod seiner Mutter bricht er 21-jährig nach Illinois auf, drei Jahre später reist er 1846 mit Freunden auf dem California Trail westwärts in die mexikanische Provinz Oberkalifornien am Pazifik. Er verdingt sich als Freiwilliger im Krieg gegen Mexiko und arbeitet anschliessend drei Jahre für John A. Sutter im Sacramento-Tal. Als 1848 unweit von Sutters Fort Gold entdeckt wird, beobachtet Lienhard zuerst erstaunt, dann mit zunehmender Entrüstung die grossen Veränderungen, die der Goldrausch für Land und Menschen, insbesondere für die indianische Bevölkerung, mit sich bringt. In seinen Erinnerungen blickt Lienhard auf jene abenteuerlichen Jahre von 1846 bis 1849 zurück. Eindrücklich schildert er den Zug der frühen Siedler mit Ochsenwagen vom Missouri nach Kalifornien und vermittelt ein lebensnahes und anschauliches Bild des Alltags der Menschen in und um Sutters Fort vor, während und nach der Goldentdeckung. Heinrich Lienhards Erinnerungen sind in ihrer Verlässlichkeit eine der wichtigen historischen Quellen zu Johann August Sutters New Helvetia und zum vielschichtigen amerikanischen Eroberungsprozess Kaliforniens. ····· 1036154861

····· lezzter Preis 9.99€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Diese Nachricht schockierte die ganze Welt: Die hochschwangere Schauspielerin Sharon Tate und vier ihrer Freunde wurden in der Nacht vom 8. auf den 9. August 1969 grausam ermordet. Die Täter wurden schnell ausfindig gemacht: die Manson-Familie, eine Hippie-Kommune, die in der Nähe von Los Angeles lebte. Tragisch: Der Mordanschlag im Drogenrausch galt vermutlich dem Musikproduzenten Terry Melcher, der zuvor ein Demoband abgelehnt hatte, das Charles Manson gemeinsam mit den Beach Boys aufgenommen hatte. Terry Melcher hatte das Haus an Roman Polanski und Sharon Tate vermietet. Charles Manson hatte diese Morde nicht selbst begangen. Er wurde aber wegen Anstiftung zum Mord zum Tode verurteilt und verbüßt nach Abschaffung der Todesstrafe 1972 in Kalifornien bis heute eine lebenslange Haftstrafe im Hochsicherheitsgefängnis Corcoran.Charles Milles Manson, geboren am 12. November 1934 in Cincinnati, war schon als Jugendlicher kriminell und verbüßte seine erste Haftstrafe bereits mit 16 Jahren. Weitere Gefängnisaufenthalte folgten bis zur Entlassung 1967. Er verdiente Geld als Straßenmusiker in Kalifornien und lernte so die Beach Boys kennen. Einer seiner Songs schaffte es 1969 sogar als B-Seite auf eine Beach-Boys-Single. Manson gilt als sehr begabt, vor allem rhetorisch. Er schaffte es immer wieder, Menschen zu manipulieren, bediente sich dabei Methoden der Scientology-Sekte und gilt bis heute als das personifizierte Böse. Sogar in dem Beatles-Song Helter Skelter hörte er versteckte Botschaften. Um ihn herum hat sich ein düsterer Kult entwickelt, und auch der Schock-Popstar Marilyn Manson bezieht sich mit seinem Künstlernamen auf ihn. Autorin Michal Welles ist all dem in vielen Gesprächen mit Charles Manson nachgegangen und legt nun ein Buch vor, das diesen Menschen in all seinen grausamen Facetten zeigt, mit vielen handgeschriebenen Briefen, Bildern und Skizzen von Manson selbst, der dieses Buch als " Last Words" autorisiert hat. Ein verstörendes Buch über einen Kriminellen, der das dunkelste Kapitel der Popgeschichte geschrieben hat. ····· 1036152695

····· lezzter Preis 17.99€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Mike Hammer, Sam Spade, Philip Marlowe - die Helden amerikanischer Kriminalromane gaben dem jungen Alexander Van der Bellen ein Gefühl dafür, was Freiheit ist. Aufgewachsen im Tiroler Kaunertal, erzählt der ehemalige Wirtschaftsprofessor und Grün-Politiker erstmals Details über seine russischen Vorfahren, kleinbürgerliche Gymnasialprofessoren, befreiende Lektüre, das Aufbrechen der stockkonservativen Gesellschaft in Österreich ab 1968 und seine grünen Anfänge. Der rote Faden seiner Erinnerungen und Anmerkungen ist der Begriff der Freiheit - und seine aktuelle Gefährdung durch falsche Reaktionen auf Terroranschläge, durch drohende Einschränkungen von EU-Grundfreiheiten, aber auch durch die leichtfertige Preisgabe der Privatsphäre im Internet. Nachdenklich und präzise räsoniert Van der Bellen über Alltägliches und Politisches, Vergangenes und Zukünftiges, Lokales und Globales: wie er sich über den Puritanismus hinter der Anti-Raucher-Gesetzgebung ärgert, warum akademische Dünkel absolut kontraproduktiv sind, persönliche Erweckungserlebnisse, warum er das Ernst-Strasser-Urteil zutiefst ungerecht empfindet sowie welchem Politikerkollegen zu trauen ist. ····· 1036148665
····· lezzter Preis 1.99€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray `The Seen and Unseen at Stratford-on-Avon` is a fantasy in which Mr. Howells enjoys the society of the great dramatist while they leisurely go to various pageants and festivities together. Shakespeare becomes his guest for a week-end and the immortal play wright confides that he `Never felt quite happy about the way people talked of Anne.` The dialogue between them is rich in humor and quite as delicious as anything that the distinguished American author has ever done, putting many of his pungent ideas into the mouth of Shakespeare. There are some lovely descriptive nature bits and the atmosphere of English feeling and history. The showery past is wonderfully mirrored in this characteristically perfect workmanship. Perhaps one of the most interesting parts of the book is where Francis Bacon joins them and they all talk together three hundred years being no impediment to conversation with the Shades conjured up by the author`s magic pen, which flows as easily and as convincingly as ever, showing an imagination undimmed by time and a sense of humor as keen as ever. There is no better evidence of his linking the past with the present than in his description of the Moving Picture Show which almost confronted the Shakespeare monument. Only Mr. Howells could have done this whimsical thing. ····· 1036146656

Hayes, a lawyer and staunch abolitionist, defended refugee slaves in court proceedings in the antebellum years.

Howells had just contracted for a campaign biography of Rutherford B. Hayes and was humorously recalling the past to his friend. In 1860 Howells, then a young man of twenty-three, was working as an editorial writer on the Ohio State Journal at Columbus. Except for a book of poems, `The Lives and Speeches of Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin` was the first of the one hundred and three books that Howells wrote during the years from 1860 to 1920. Though he attended neither high school nor university, Howells received degrees from six universities, including Oxford, and rejected offers of professorship in literature from Yale, Harvard and Johns Hopkins universities. The first part is devoted to the biography of Lincoln and some of Mr. Lincoln`s speeches. The second part is a biographical sketch of Hannibal Hamlin written by Mr. Hayes. ····· 1036146201

His early education was received in connection with the African Free School, of that city, which was then taught by a gentleman of Scotch descent, Mr. C. C. Andrew. General Lafayette, on September 10, 1824, paid this school a visit, and placing his hands on the heads of all the boys present, gave them a hearty ```God Bless You.` Ward took early to public speaking, and very soon became a lecturer of the anti-Slavery cause. During a stay in England he put forth, in book form, `The Autobiography of a Fugitive Negro`, which embraced not only the facts about his own life, but an exact statement of the slave question in America.

····· lezzter Preis 2.99€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Another example of the fictitious slave narrative is this book, An Account of a Female Slave (1857), which suggests the narrative only in title. Although no convincing proof is offered that the book deals with fact and the names of places in the story are not spelled in full, there is an elaborate plot, with climax and abundant subaction a conspicuous effort at literary finish is discernible-all evidences that the book is not the unpretentious record of truth it purports to be. Moreover, the author was considerably influenced by Uncle Tom`s Cabin. Except for his sex John Peterkin is an-other little Eva: he has the same excessively precocious and angelic nature he talks in the same wise and prophetic strain and he, also, fades away and dies, a flower too good for this wicked and slavery-cursed world. Everywhere there is an abundance of sentimentality-much weeping, sighing, poetizing, affected expression of feeling. Even the slaves are sentimental, especially the almost white heroine, who speaks of watering the lovely flowers with her tears, as though this were nothing out of the ordinary, and who preserves, as her chief and dearest treasure, the note her lover wrote before killing himself to escape slavery. ····· 1036145335

It was memorable also for the difficulty with which it was accomplished, for the intense popular excitement which it caused, for the unexampled expense which it entailed, for the grave questions of law which it involved, for the punishment which it brought down upon the head of the chief actor, and for the political revolution which it drew on. ····· 1036145326
