Da herr Blanc var en ung studerende på Cambridge forlod han sin kæreste, Heike. På det tidspunkt var han ikke klar over, at hun var hans store kærlighed. Efter mange ensomme år i Schweiz gifter han sig med Vreni, et fornuftsægteskab. Da han er tæt på sin pensionering, fører skæbnen ham til Polen, hvor Heike ligger begravet.
Ein komischer, berührender Roman über das Scheitern in und an unserer Zeit Die große Liebe ist gefunden, das erste Kind ist unterwegs, bevor steht der Umzug in die Provinz – weg aus der Wahlheimat Berlin. Man hofft auf das vollkommene Glück, aber vollkommen ist nur der Zerfall: Beziehungen rücken in ein anderes Licht, gängige Rollenbilder werden aufgebrochen, aber das Scheitern an den Herausforderungen des Lebens ist unausweichlich. Aus Liebe wird Hass und plötzlich ist die Trennung nah.

This book explores how festivals of Rome were celebrated in the Greek East and their transformations in the Christian world.
First published in 1997, this collection of essays from David F. Graf, an esteemed ancient historian and archaeologist specializing of the Greco-Roman world in the Levant and Arabia, represent over two decades of his own research on Roman Arabia which occurred during twenty-five years of a virtual explosion in our knowledge of this remote corner of the Roman empire.

He explores such diverse matters as the urbanization of the area, regional demography, the defensive system, fluctuating provincial borders and the relations with frontier peoples until the Islamic Conquests.

The purpose was to explore how best to foster such conversations across departm...
Monsieur Blanc est suisse et convaincu qu’il vit dans le meilleur pays du monde. Il n’a fait que deux voyages : l’un pour respecter la volonté de son père et faire ses études à Cambridge, l’autre fut un déplacement professionnel offert par son employeur, pour le remercier, à quelques mois de sa retraite. Sa vie tout entière a été vouée à un échec radical. Il n’a connu que trois femmes : sa mère, avec laquelle il a vécu en osmose et dont la mort l’a plongé dans une dépression profonde. Heike, rencontrée en Angleterre et qu’il n’a pas épousée parce qu’elle ne voulait pas vivre en Suisse. Et Vreni, épousée sur le tard par raison, inconsolable de la mort de...
