Moderator: "William Turner, als Maler hast Du der Welt viel gegeben; um genau zu sein: 20.000 Werke. Hast Du es je bereut? War Malerei irgendwann ein Fluch, ein Laster?" William Turner: "Hab ich nie so gesehen. Ich freue mich, dass ich in der Engels-Late-Night-Show dabei sein darf; man macht sich vorher ja furchtbar viel Gedanken; wie ist es so im Himmel, wird es mir da gefallen, wäre ich nicht doch lieber in der Hölle? ..." Moderator: "Hier im Himmel ist viel von Glück die Rede; gab es besondere Glückstage für Dich?" William Turner: "Immer wenn ich allein sein konnte mit einem Bild, das Grundierte wartete auf seine Bestimmung, das waren Glücksmomente – die möchte ich nicht missen. Man müsste es schaffen, dass das ganze Leben einem Glückstag gleicht. Aber wo nähme ich dann das Düstere her, die Melancholie? Es hält sich die Waage in meinen Bildern, ... [more]

The Journal of William de Rubruck: Account of the Mongols. William of Rubruck (1220–1293) was a Flemish Franciscan missionary and explorer. His account is one of the masterpieces of medieval geographical literature comparable to that of Marco Polo and Ibn Battuta. William accompanied King Louis IX of France on the Seventh Crusade in 1248. On May 7, 1253, on Louis' orders, he set out from Constantinople on a missionary journey to convert the Tatars to Christianity. He actually followed the route of the first journey of the Hungarian Friar Julian. With William's party were Bartolomeo da Cremona, an attendant called Gosset, and an interpreter named in William's report Homo Dei, meaning "man of God", perhaps representing the Arabic Abdullah, "servant of God." After reaching the Crimean town of Sudak, William continued his trek with oxen and carts. Nine days after crossing the Don he met Sartaq Khan, ruler of the Kipchak Khanate. The Khan sent William on to his father, Batu Khan, at Sarai near the Volga. Five weeks later, after the departure from Sudak, he reached the encampment of Batu Khan, Mongol ruler of the Volga River region. Batu refused conversion but sent the ambassadors on to the Great Khan of the Mongols, Möngke Khan. He and his travelling companions set off on horseback on September 16, 1253 on a 9,000 km journey to the court of the Great Khan at Karakorum. Upon arrival they were received courteously, and he was given an audience on January 4, 1254. [more]

Shortly before his death, 150 years ago, King William I of Wurttemberg gave the royal forestry commission in the country an unusual mission, the preparation and realization of which, lead to a diversity of results which was without parallel. The discovery of the giant sequoia trees in North America in the middle of the 19th century caused a sensation, which King William I as a nature lover took as an opportunity to have seeds of these exotic trees sent directly from California to the temperate greenhouse of the current Wilhelma in Stuttgart in order to raise thousands of young trees. The giant trees were known at this time in Wurttemberg as Wellingtonia. The young trees were then planted systematically at exposed locations in the royal forests and in numerous castle gardens and parks in Wurttemberg. This anniversary treatise is intended to describe the history of this impressive initiative of King Wilhelm I of Wurttemberg, and in particular the diversity and beauty of the remaining 132 sites of this so called “Wilhelma-Seed” in all of Wurttemberg, distributed from North Wurttemberg to Lake Constance in the south. This book presents details of the locations in Wurttemberg, which were developed with the help and support of my friends and colleagues of the initiative "Project Sequoia" launched years ago. Note, this e-book contains 30 pages and 140 photos. [more]

William the Conqueror was the first Norman King of England, reigning from 1066 until his death in 1087. The descendant of Viking raiders, he had been Duke of Normandy since 1035 under the style William II. After a long struggle to establish his power, by 1060 his hold on Normandy was secure, and he launched the Norman conquest of England in 1066. The rest of his life was marked by struggles to consolidate his hold over England and his continental lands and by difficulties with his eldest son. The impact on England of William's conquest was profound; changes in the Church, aristocracy, culture, and language of the country have persisted into modern times. The Conquest brought the kingdom into closer contact with France and forged ties between France and England that lasted throughout the Middle Ages. Another consequence of William's invasion was the sundering of the formerly close ties between England and Scandinavia. William's government blended elements of the English and Norman systems into a new one that laid the foundations of the later medieval English kingdom. How abrupt and far-reaching the changes were is still a matter of debate among historians, with some such as Richard Southern claiming that the Conquest was the single most radical change in European history between the Fall of Rome and the 20th century.

You Who Take The Trouble To Read These Reminiscences Of The Santa Fe Trail May Be Curious To Know How Much Of Them Are Literally True. The Writer Of This Preface Was Intimately Acquainted With The Author Of This Book, And Knows That He Has Not Yielded To Temptation To Draw Upon His Imagination For The Incidents Related Herein, But Has Adhered Strictly To The Truth. Truth Is, Sometimes, "Stranger Than Fiction," And Is An Indispensable Requisite To Accurate History, Yet It May Sometime Destroy The Charm Of Fiction. The Author Of This Book Had A Real And Exceptional Knowledge Of Indian Character And Indian Traits, And His Genuine Tact In Trading And Treating With Them, And The Success Which He Had In Sustaining Friendly Relations With Them Was One Of The Wonders Of The West, And Was A Circumstance Of Much Comment By Those Who Had Occasion To Use The Santa Fe Trail. It Is Small Wonder, Then, That "Little Billy Of The Stage Coach" Won For Himself The Title Of The "Second William Penn." In The Early Sixties, The Region Through Which The Old Trail Passed Was An Unexplored Territory Where Constant Struggles For Supremacy Between The Wild Red Man And The Hardy White Man Were Carried On.

William S. Burroughs, Metaphysical Detective is a genre-defying exploration of the metaphysical, blending elements of detective mystery, science fiction, and surrealist fantasy. The narrative is a kaleidoscope of cosmic mysteries, where the line between reality and the fantastical blurs, and the protagonist's journey becomes a metaphorical dance in the cosmic symphony of existence. In the imaginary city of Interzone, where the neon-lit streets pulse with enigmatic energies, Detective William S. Burroughs embarks on a surreal mystery through multidimensional realities populated with literary outlaws and strange beings. The narrative weaves a tale of satirical metaphors in electric imagery and wordplay that bends the boundaries of language and reality. The story unfolds across 25 chapters, each with a unique blend of hard-boiled detective noir, surreal science fiction, and mind-bending plot twists. Burroughs, armed with a golden gun and guided by the Language of the Dead, navigates the mysterious alleys, celestial gardens, and esoteric cathedrals of Interzone. As the detective delves deeper, he faces a series of cosmic challenges, from an esoteric cathedral to an ethereal gateway and a cosmic apex. The narrative takes unexpected turns, weaving in the cosmic symphony; a tapestry of temporal flux, celestial symbols, and occult mysteries. Burroughs' journey culminates in his rebirth as a cosmic guardian, tasked with safeguarding Interzone's eternal secrets. The beatniks, Lexicographers, and Nova accompany him in the ongoing dance of revelations, and the novel concludes with a cosmic resonance that echoes through the neon jungle that is the Naked City of Interzone.
