The Making of Prussia
So many heroes have been lost to history and this book attempts to bring the reader's attention to two great men who by working in harmony were able to transform the fate of Prussia. Gertha von Dieckmann originally wrote this book in German in 1930. Today, the book contains so many intimate insights into the workings in the administration of the Prussian states during and after the French occupation that it has become relevant for the modern reader. For the first time this work has been now translated into English and will provide valuable insights into the background which undoubtedly led up to the catastrophic events of the twentieth century. To make it even more informative, a consider...

Das Rheinland auf dem Weg nach Preußen 1815–1822
Das Jahr 1815 bildete nicht nur für das internationale Staatensystem ein Epochenjahr. Denn die auf dem Wiener Kongress getroffenen Entscheidungen waren auch der Ausgangspunkt für den Übergang der bislang unter französischer Herrschaft stehenden Rheinlande an Preußen. Die Beschlüsse markierten den Anfang einer häufig von gegenseitigem Unverständnis und Vorurteilen begleiteten Beziehung, welche die Geschichte bis weit ins 20. Jahrhundert hinein prägen sollte. Spätestens 1822, im Gründungsjahr der preußischen Rheinprovinzen, war ein Rheinland entstanden, das nicht nur durch kulturelle, konfessionelle, soziale und demographische Unterschiede gekennzeichnet war, sondern das auch Gegensätze im Hinblick auf staatliche Traditionen vereinigte. Die Beiträge des Bandes zeichnen ein breites und vergleichendes Panorama des schwierigen Weges zueinander und gehen den damit einhergehenden Entwicklungen in den Bereichen von Verwaltung, Wirtschaft, Bildung und Kultur nach.

Reminiscences of Louise Romberg Fuchs 1927
We, who live in the Machine Age, can scarcely imagine how our grandparents and parents, who came from a populous country, the home of their parents, and moved with them to the thinly settled state of Texas, passed their youth — under circumstances and surroundings so entirely different from those under which we grandchildren and children live. Therefore, we gladly listen when Grandmother or Grandfather tells of that time: the pioneer days with their sorrows and joys! And so the children and grandchildren of Louise Fuchs have asked her to write down her Reminiscences, so that those days will not vanish for us in the stream of time. Frieda H. Fuchs
Sweet Chocolate
Strictly speaking, ‘Sweet Chocolate’, first part of the trilogy together with ‘Ramblings’ and ‘Towards the End of the Night’, is one of the countless variations of Billy Wilder’s ‘boy meets girl’. But it’s not that simple – is the beginning the end or the end the beginning? There are time leaps, flashbacks, changes of perspective and even overlaps caused by them. Reality, dreams and prophecies, inner monologue, dialogues and chats. Helpful, puzzling or completely missing chapter headings … Sounds like a labyrinth and hopeless confusion – but surprisingly it’s not at all. The narrative is entertaining and comprehensible. A lightness pervades the short novel, although at the center is a difficult, contradictory, multi-layered, self-centered, failed spirit who, after too long a period of seclusion, attempts to find his place again in the midst of life. As you read, all the little pieces of the puzzle fall into place. And with parts 2 and 3, which are both sequel and supplement, the big pieces too.
