Um eine blaue Rose zu gewinnen, erzählt die Morgenfrühe dem Herrn der Zeit die Liebesgeschichte vom Gestreiften Kater und der Schwalbe Sinhá: Der Gestreifte Kater, im ganzen Park gefürchtet und verachtet, weil er böse sei und hässlich, erlebt einen zweiten Frühling, als die junge, neugierige Schwalbe Sinhá sich allen Warnungen der Parkbewohner zum Trotz mit ihm anfreundet. Im Sommer sind sie miteinander glücklich, aber der Sommer geht schnell vorbei – wie jede glückliche Zeit. Diese Fabel schrieb Amado 1948 in Paris für seinen Sohn – eine kleine Geschichte, die sich Pausen gönnt, zum Plaudern, zum Philosophieren. Eine Geschichte voller Poesie, die von Vorurteilen und Ängsten handelt, vor allem indes von einer Liebe, die das Leben erst lebenswert macht. »Zum Leben wunderschönWär diese WeltKönnte es einst geschehenDass ein gestreifter Kater mitEiner Schwalbe Hochzeit hältUnd beide flögen davonGlücklich zu zweitFür alle Zeit.«

Through Allen’s analysis of the situation, the realization sets in that the fights by environmental and world aid groups are all for naught as every gain is soon overwhelmed by the pressures of more growth.

This book examines the distinctive aspects that insiders and outsiders perceived as characteristic of Irish and Scottish ethnic identities in New Zealand. When, how, and why did Irish and Scots identify themselves and others in ethnic terms? What characteristics did the Irish and the Scots attribute to themselves and what traits did others assign to them? Did these traits change over time and if so how? Contemporary interest surrounding issues of ethnic identities is vibrant. In countries such as New Zealand, descendants of European settlers are seeking their ethnic origins, spurred on in part by factors such as an ongoing interest in indigenous genealogies, the burgeoning appeal of family history societies, and the booming financial benefits of marketing ethnicities abroad. This fascinating book will appeal to scholars and students of the history of empire and the construction of identity in settler communities, as well as those interested in the history of New Zealand.

Alone of his contemporaries, J.M.W. Turner is commonly held to have prefigured modern painting, as signalled in the existence of The Turner Prize for contemporary art. Our celebration of his achievement is very different to what Victorian critics made of his art. This book shows how Turner was reinvented to become the artist we recognise today. On Turner's death in 1851 he was already known as an adventurous, even baffling, painter. But when the Court of Chancery decreed that the contents of his studio should be given to the nation, another side of his art was revealed that effected a wholescale change in his reputation. This book acts as a guide to the reactions of art writers and curators from the 1850s to the 1960s as they attempted to come to terms with his work. It documents how Turner was interpreted and how his work was displayed in Britain, in Europe and in North America, concentrating on the ways in which his artistic identity was manipulated by art writers, by curators at the Tate and by designers of exhibitions for the British Council and other bodies. ;
