Download or read book The Farm in the Green Mountains written by Alice Herdan-Zuckmayer and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The charming, return-to-the-land memoir of a refugee family who flees Nazi Germany and finds their true home in the backwoods of rural Vermont Alice and Carl Zuckmayer lived at the center of Weimar-era Berlin. She was a former actor turned medical student, he was a playwright, and their circle of friends included Stefan Zweig, Alma Mahler, and Bertolt Brecht. But then the Nazis took over, and Carl’s most recent success—a play satirizing German militarism—impressed them in all the wrong ways. The couple and their two daughters were forced to flee, first to Austria, then to Switzerland, and finally to the United States. Los Angeles didn’t suit them, neither did New York, but a chance stroll in the Vermont woods led them to Backwoods Farm and the eighteenth-century farmhouse where they would spend the next five years. In Europe, the Zuckmayers were accustomed to servants; in Vermont, they found themselves building chicken coops, refereeing fights between fractious ducks, and caring for temperamental water pipes “like babies.” But in spite of the endless work and the brutal, depressing winters, Alice found that in America she had at last discovered her “native land.” This generous, surprising, and witty memoir, a best seller in postwar Germany, has all the charm of an unlikely romantic comedy.

Download or read book Farm Poems written by Raymond Vickery, Jr. and published by . This book was released on 2013-12-08 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Piedmont of Virginia, at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains as they slope to the East, lies a remnant. Once known as the Free State, this land is a remnant not just of the earth as it was in an earlier time but of the earlier time itself. Some have recognized the uniqueness of this land and have been willing to stand in front of the bulldozer and the insatiable creep of the sprawl that will destroy this place. Others have been willing to use a portion of their wealth to preserve the land, to turn one threatened farm into a park, and preserve the boyhood home of our favorite son, John Marshall. To me, this hallowed place is the most beautiful on earth. To gaze from the Ashby Gap above Paris, down the Crooked Run Valley toward Goose Creek is a spiritual experience. Big Cobbler Mountain from any angle, but especially from our Four Suns Farm, is inspiring in every season. One of our neighbors calls the sight "a free drug", and I think he is right. I hope that by reading these poems you will come to know something of the members of my family, of the crops and animals we have raised, and the wildlife that inhabit the farm. Most of all I hope you may gain some sense of this land and why, when my time comes, this is where I wish to spend eternity.

Download or read book The Forest Farm written by Peter Rosegger and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1912 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the heart of Austria lies Steiermark (Styria), a rough mountain country on the eastern slope of the Alps. Its inhabitants, protected from the levelling influences of modern civilisation and cut off from that mingling with other peoples which destroys racial character, have retained their old individuality and customs longer than any other German people. Rough though the climate is, the soil stony, the struggle for existence hard, these sons of the mountains have grown stubbornly inseparable from their home; it is with difficulty that they take root in other soil-they are evermore drawn back to the place where once their cradle stood. In former centuries the Swiss soldiers in French service could not hear the home-like chime of cow-bells without a temptation to desert their colours; and time after time sons of Steiermark have been driven back to their free hills by the constraint of garrison life. The deserters were always easily caught: the sergeant in pursuit had simply to look for the culprit in his father's house. The Heimweh (other languages can hardly express the meaning of this word) is the national sickness to which all natives of the Alps driven into foreign parts are subject, and it is but the other side of that impassioned joy in the home, which finds expression in jubilant songs and shouts rising for ever from the mountains to the sky.

Download or read book Tales of the Iron Bloomery written by Bernt Rundberget and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Tales of the Iron Bloomery Bernt Rundberget examines the ironmaking in southern Hedmark in Norway in the period AD 700-1300. Excavations show that this method is distinctive and geographically limited; this is expressed by the technology, organization, development and large-scale production. The ironmaking practice had its origins in increasing demands for iron, due to growth in urbanization, church power, kingship and mercantile networks. Rundberget’s main hypothesis is that iron became the economic basis for political developments, from chiefdom to kingdom. Iron extraction activity grew from the late Viking Age, throughout the early medieval period, before it came to a sudden collapse around AD 1300. This trend correlates with the rise and fall of the kingdom.
