The story of the Stuart dynasty is a breathless soap opera played out in just a hundred years in an array of buildings that span Europe from Scotland, via Denmark, Holland and Spain to England. Life in the court of the House of Stuart has been shrouded in mystery: the first half of the century overshadowed by the fall and execution of Charles I, the second half in the complete collapse of the House itself. Lost to time is the extraordinary contribution the Stuarts made to the fabric of sovereignty.

Ear training is one of the most rewarding skills you can develop, and it’s one that you can work on every day. Which makes total sense: Music is an aural experience, after all.

Hat Nabokovs berühmter Skandalroman Lolita womöglich einen gleichnamigen Vorläufer? Der Berliner Feuilletonist Heinz von Lichberg veröffentlichte 1916 eine Sammlung von Kurzgeschichten, deren eine Erzählung den Titel "Lolita" trägt und in Bezug auf Aufbau und Inhalt verblüffende Ähnlichkeiten zu Nabokovs Roman von 1955 aufweist.
