Hotel Belvedere - Barbara Kastelin - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Hotel Belvedere - Barbara Kastelin - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Hotel Belvedere is a Belle Epoque hotel in Montreux on the shores of Lake Geneva. It was built by the Krugers and, in the last months of the 20th Century, it is still owned and run by the family: Vanessa, the grande dame and former opera singer; her daughter, the somewhat ailing Candice, and practical husband Thierry; Philippe, their playboy son, and Paloma the wayward daughter. Nearby, the rival Excelsior is owned by Karl Mercier, whom Candice “should have married”. There resides Dr DeBraye, a suave provider of medical services to society ladies. Below stairs in the Belvedere are Fosse the housekeeper, Concierge, Cook, and waiters and chambermaids. As the novel opens, a goatherd’s daughter, Odile, comes down from the mountain to become a chambermaid. She faces the swirling emotions of management and staff with simple alpine good sense, and her future seems bright. But a secret from 30 years earlier emerges, when English waiter, Noel, moves from the Excelsior to the Belvedere. The hotels work towards the Millennium celebrations, as rivalries mount, mysteries surface, and romance springs. The crisis is reached as Storm Lothar descends on the lake, and one death brings clarity and resolution.

It is winter. Seven university friends reunite in a country hotel in Scotland.

Personal and social events are remembered, religion and faith are interrogated, and expectations, doubts and death are confronted. As images of the past intermingle with realities of the present, the living memories of the past thirty-five years rise to the surface and the frozen flame of time is rekindled in the snowy countryside.

The Stone Throwers - Richard M. Meyer - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

A group of children, a philosopher and a merman fight to save a bewitched island. Finding their spiritual home on a remote island threatened by a new hotel, two groups of somewhat misanthropic children have no choice but to fight to save it. Intuitive imagination and dogged curiosity unlock ‘marginal lands’ which lie beyond the reach of mere adults. In worrying adversity, they face and meet strange individuals and get caught up in surreal and bizarre happenings. Help comes from a laid-back American philosopher/painter who lives in an unearthly shack in the woods, and a merman who seems to have emerged from the deep. Increasingly alienated by darkening forces and adult greed, will the children manage to retain enough natural strength, naivety and good humour to see them through their adventures? Illustrated throughout by the author.

The Spectral Island - Stephen De Burges - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Spectral Island - Stephen De Burges - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The mountains and waters of Ivundé, in the Indian Ocean, contain something of immense value. To gain control of the Island, a shadowy Middle East group uses the cover of a madrassas-building project to arrange what at first sight is a local extremist takeover. The UK/US, with the help of local sources, and a retired academic and a professional intelligence officer – who discover the truth – use their Special Forces, re-gain control of the Island. This is a story of deception. Power deceives as it manipulates reality. Those who wield it – the diplomats and politicians – can only behave as their experience and allegiances allow them to, and the Island looks certain to be dragged from its idyllic existence, where time is of little essence, into a hectic Nauruesque future. Some of those who live on the Island will see only clouds, others, silver linings. They include: Rosalie, a smart, if unsophisticated semi-local, and her US cowboy husband; ‘free-thinkers’, Valli and Meera, who, with their ‘daughters’, dispense wisdom and Darjeeling from their Emporium in the town; and Madame Lemesurier, owner of the Mirabile, who seeks guidance from her husband, at rest under a marble slab below a baobab in the Hotel gardens. At the centre of the conspiracy, and under the control of the shadowy Middle East group, is a Chinese scientist. From enforced exile in North Korea, he has been ‘lent’ to the group and compelled to carry out ‘disturbing’ research from his prison on a madrassa site. The wild landscape of the Island, its madrassas’ construction sites and its hotel, the run-down Mirabilé, provide much of the setting for the story, though the exercise of deception also pushes the action from place-to-place: a faceless office in London, GCHQ, the military bases of Djibouti and Diego Garcia, and the Presidential Palace in the mainland capital.

The Lost Heirs - James W Stebbings - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The name D’Oyly Carte is recognised throughout the world as a consequence of Richard D’Oyly Carte’s partnership with Gilbert and Sullivan, which produced the fourteen Savoy comic operas during the last quarter of the 19th Century. These in turn are recognised as the genesis of ‘the musical’ that is such an important part of commercial theatre today. It was the success of these operas that paved the way for D’Oyly Carte’s other achievements, building his own theatres and establishing a chain of luxury hotels that included The Savoy Hotel, Claridge’s and The Berkeley. Behind these achievements, however, lay stories of family unhappiness, strife and tragedy. In particular, it was the losses of two young potential male heirs in two generations of the D’Oyly Carte family that led to the demise of this famous family dynasty in the 20th Century. The stories behind the lives and premature deaths of these heirs are revealed in detail for the first time, set against the life of Richard D’Oyly Carte and the stormy relationship of Gilbert and Sullivan. This is a story to appeal to the world-wide enthusiasts of Gilbert and Sullivan or those coming to the subject for the first time.

Stolen Heritage - Anthony Warwick Ching - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Britain was the cradle of the industrial revolution. Its manufacturing prowess sustained a unique global standing in the nineteenth century, bore it to victory in the great wars of the twentieth, was a trusty servant of its domestic needs and imperial pretensions, and an enduring source of pride. Quite suddenly, this pre-eminence has vanished. Only yesterday an industrial giant, the UK is heading for the third division. How on earth did this happen? Where did so many of our great industries, and the companies that served them, go? What happened to all those household names and world leaders? How did industrial employment, once 40 per cent of the labour force, collapse? How were well-paid, robust and rewarding jobs in manufacturing supplanted by poorly-paid, insecure and low-grade work in services? Stolen Heritage offers answers. Answers that should provoke concern, dismay and anger. It goes beyond denouncing the shortcomings of neoliberalism to chart its workings in practice. It tracks the life and death of Britain’s industries, vigorously contesting the orthodox view that their demise was inevitable, and it looks at prevailing political ethos, and dogma, of the time. Finally it looks beyond the immediate perils of Brexit to ways in which something of value just might be salvaged from the wreckage.

Part 2 shares the author’s own exercise challenge and how he began an unbroken eight-year streak of moving at least 5 kilometres per day – walking, running, cycling, kayaking, canoeing or skiing. Part 3 tells the personal stories of ten brave men and women who took on their own challenges to improve their health and well-being, and make positive changes in their lives. Part 4 of the book looks at a range of other challenges, including The Daily Mile and parkrun, and goes on to discuss the health benefits of active commuting, workplace activity and owning a dog. This builds a motivating case for Part 5 , which helps the reader set and achieve their own challenge, with suggestions for how to find time for exercise in their busy lives. The final chapter draws together a list of ten principles aimed at helping the reader to choose and succeed in their own challenge. By making regular exercise an achievable activity, focused on the individual’s own goals, however modest, this book shows how everyone can find time for exercise and reap the benefits.
