Описание:

Europe has many wonderful old traditions, and one of them is the Christmas market.

The December market in Vienna is recorded since 1298, but Innsbruck was actually founded as a market in a field already in 1133 and it could be argued that the December market here would be even older.

The wonderful Tyrolian atmosphere makes this a must for anyone enjoying the Christmas markets.

Innsbruck is the capital of Austria's western state of Tyrol. It is a city in the Alps that's long been a destination for winter sports. It hosted the Olympics several times - 1964 and again in 1976.

It is the fifth largest town in Austria with 133.000 inhabitants. It is a youthful town with a university.

Innsbruck is also known for its Imperial and modern architecture.

Описание:

Visit Edo, modern day Tokyo, as experienced by Utagawa Hiroshige in this wonderful tourist guide from the 1850s.

Experience Edo as the Japanese loved it, a sophisticated city catering to a wealthy elite of damiyo, local rulers that regularly had to spend time away from their lands, in Edo, where the shogun could keep an eye on them.

The 100 Famous Views of Edo was one of the popular print series made in Japan, like Hokusai's series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, which had been published earlier in the 1830s and which influenced Hiroshige tremendously (ISBN 9782919787159 as hard cover).

But much more important is the influence the 100 Famous Views of Edo had on European impressionists like Van Gogh, Degas, Manet and Monet. Hiroshige impressed with cropped items to create focus and his horizontal format.

In Catalonia you can enjoy the most wonderful cakes - Catalan Pastis - some of which have a unique local character developed with proud traditions. History and politics are briefly commented.

Catalan Pastis is the third volume in our series World of Cakes.

In Luxembourg - A Piece of Cake we toured the incredible cake shop world in tiny Luxembourg. The variety far exceeds what you would expect in a country smaller than Rhode Island. The book was an unplanned accident.

In Florida Cakes we continued the habit of taking pictures of some of the cakes we purchased. Our life took us to the sunny beaches of Florida for a while. The cake designs in Florida are just incredible.

Now back in Europe we had business in Spain and especially in Catalonia, which we enjoyed during a number of months.

Again, we took advantage of its uniquely enjoyable cake shops - bombonierie - making the most wonderful cakes - pastis in Catalan - some which are not found elsewhere.

There must be at least one thousand cake shops and cafes in Barcelona alone serving these great specialities.

We will try to discover some of the secrets behind this formidable variety and quality of Catalan pastis - Catalan cakes. You will be surprised

We very much hope you will enjoy the tour and will take the opportunity to visit Spain and Catalonia yourself one day

Many thanks to Concha Marchante of the Servei de Pesca Continental in Barcelona and Professor Emili Emili Garcia-Berthou from the University of Girone for their kind assistance with very interesting information on the fish in the Tordera River.

Of course, it had to happen Just like in the cartoons A kitten stuck up in the old pear tree The old tree was so inviting, so wonderful to climb in, to sink the kitten claws into the dear bark that all the kittens loved to climb up this tree. This tree was also accessible. Other trees were much more difficult to climb but they held the added attraction of housing a tit family.

Описание:

What was Japan like in 1853, when this portrait was started by Utagawa Hiroshige with one print from each of the 69 provinces. It is an outstanding picture book from just before photography.

Hiroshige travelled the Tōkaidō road to participate in an important procession in Kyoto in 1832 and published his 53 Stations of the Tōkaidō which was the most popular print series ever made in Japan, see the author's ISBN 9782919787647.

It was even more popular than Hokusai's series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, which had been recently published and which had influenced Hiroshige tremendously (ISBN 9782919787159 as hard cover).

The Famous Views from the Sixty-Odd Provinces contains some of Hiroshige's most beloved prints and he again uses the horizontal format he pioneered for landscape prints.

Joaqu n Sorolla (born in Valencia 1863 - died in Cercedilla 1923) is one of the most successful Spanish painters ever. He was a genius in capturing the essence of the scene he was painting.

Joaqu n Sorolla painted the most wonderful beach scenes, many of them with oxen towing fishing boats. One thing that will surprise you. In spite of Joaqu n Sorolla being Spain's most famous painter of beach scenes and fishing boats, there does not appear to be a single seagull in his paintings.So, what animals did he paint?

Apart from the oxen as draught animals, he painted several horses, a donkey and sheep when he painted types of people and local dress which made up his vision of Spain, diverse and colorful yet united.

More privately, he painted dogs and a cat as pets, superbly catching their soul and character.

Joaqu n Sorolla (born in Valencia 1863 - died in Cercedilla 1923) is one of the most successful Spanish painters ever. He was a genius in capturing the essence of the scene he was painting. He lived while photography was being invented and popularized. Some of his breathtaking landscapes show how he was familiar with and employed similar techniques at the photograph. His landscapes are a great introduction to Spanish history.

In the course of preparing for his grand masterpiece "The Vision of Spain," which hangs in the Hispanic Society of America, Sorolla visited many places of Spain. Here he painted types of people and local dress which made up his vision of Spain, diverse and colorful yet united.

Joaquin Sorolla also painted landscapes. Some of the landscapes are recordings like photographs. Others are exercises and development of his talent and technique. It is possible to follow his development as a master of impressionist painting by comparing landscapes by the year of completion. Sorolla only became better with age and maturity. We travel with Sorolla generally from North to South.

Enjoy this splendid tour of Spain

Описание:

Construction vehicles is a picture book with more than 101 pictures of fancy vehicles that you can see in the Danish capital Copenhagen, as well as in Florida, Spain and Luxembourg. It is a companion volume to the book Copenhagen Vehicles. Construction is one of the most exiting topics for both children and adults and it is happening right here all around us. The moving around of heavy objects, the digging of big holes, filling them up again and the grand creations that literally sprout up from the ground excites and inspires the young brain. The very loud noises are equally exciting - up to a point. The intricate patterns of scaffolding and buildings sites varies between great order and the mess left by all the toys strewn out over the playroom floor. The book is excellent as a picture book for children, also for those that can read by themselves.

Описание:

One of the wonderful traditions of Christmas is the Nativity. But you don't have to be Christian or a regular church-goer to love these wonderful displays. The creativity and artistry speak to all children and to the child in us all.

Nativity is a scene from the stories of the birth of Jesus. They are in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. With inspiration in these stories you use either figurines or live people to create the scene and convey the story.

These scenes excite especially the children. Their happy smiles and their joy is so wonderfully rewarding. But adults as well enjoy both creating and looking at the nativity scenes.

This has developed into a huge handicraft industry in countries like Spain and Italy. Artists and craftsmen work all year round to create their next exhibits, which are sold especially at Christmas markets.

Families collect figurines and accessories from the markets and create their own displays at home. Churches, beginning with the Vatican, and cities and other institutions create their own annual exhibits that are venerated and celebrated.

This little book shows you some of the nativity scenes we have seen and some of the figurines and accessories that you can find in the Christmas markets and shops in and around Salzburg, Austria. You find the most beautiful Tyrolian hand made wooden cribs and figurines here.

Nativity is a Catholic tradition, separated in many countries from official society as Christianity no longer has the same function, although European values are deeply steeped in Christianity.

In Northern European countries the birth of Jesus is no longer the central theme of the Christmas displays.

We show you also some alternative displays, usually with animals, that are used instead to make the children, and adults, happy. Mostly they are in shopping windows and displace for a while the display of some of the commercial goods that is the daily function of the windows.

It is especially important if you live in a city. People who live close to Nature have a lot more opportunity to meet and interact with animals. Therefore, you need to consider the access more carefully when you live in a city.
