For 150 years he has also been damned as a murderer who poisoned three of his relations to pay his debts. New research has uncovered quite a different story about his extraordinary life. ...

Одна из самых завораживающих и печальных историй любви ХХ мирового века. История романа самого прославленного певца «потерянного поколения» Эриха Марии Ремарка – и самой знаменитой «фам фаталь» кинематографа Марлен Дитрих, поведанная ими самими – в письмах, которые они писали друг другу. Их отношения не были простыми. В них вспышки страсти и нежности слишком часто сменялись с непониманием, ревностью, недоверием и даже враждой. Их отношения ...

In those days Pitsea was a typical sleepy marshland village overlooking the saltwater creeks and the Thame's Delta. The proposed New Town was as yet just a twinkle in the planners' eyes and Basildon, such as it was, comprised of just two small estates: Barstable and Whitmore Way. The rest of the surrounding area was no less tha ...

It was from the South Coast that some of the flotilla of small boats ventured forth to conjure up the miracle of the Dunkirk evacuation. Hampshire was in the front line during the Battle of Britain, as Hitler’s Stukas tried in vain to knock out Ventnor’s radar. Portsmouth, home of the Royal Navy, withstood the punishments of the Blitz. Southampton ...
Peter Green is a legend in the Diocese of Manchester, and a figure held up as an example, whose writing featured in my confirmation preparation long ago. His writings emphasise the need for the Anglo-Catholic faith and devotion to go hand in hand with evangelism, resulting in personal commitment to Our Lord. I believe that despite the change in social conditions Green’s advice about the importance of the parish ministry is relevant today, as is ...
