Fanny Wright (Frances Wright; Dundee, Scotland, 6th September 1795 – Cincinnati, Ohio, America, 13th December 1852) After our tale of dynastic marriage and politically-motivated romance yesterday, it's time to come back down to earth and meet a women who challenged boundaries, travelling halfway across the world in search of a new life. Fanny Wright was born in Dundee as the daughter of a wealthy political radical, James Wright, and his wife, Camilla Campbell. At the age of three Fanny was already an orphan with a hefty inheritance to support her and she moved from Scotland to live in England with another radical relative, this time an aunt. Her childhood was spent in deep education and at the age of 16 she returned to the country of her birth, where she focussed all her efforts on writing. The borders of the United Kingdom proved too stifling for the young woman and in 1818 she and her sister set sail for the United States, where they spent two years criss-crossing the country and learning its way for themselves. All the time Fanny's political interests were deepening, leading her to develop an unshakeable belief in the principles of suffrage, education, emancipation and the rights of women to govern their own bodies. Robert Owen, by William Henry Brooke Upon her return to Scotland she took up writing again and published Views of Society and Manners in America, a book that caused a sensation with its critique of American society and strong political views. Invited into radical thinking circles, Fanny returned to America, first in the company of the Marquis de Lafayette and then Robert Owen, with whom she would later found the Free Inquirer newspaper. Travelling across the country she found herself drawn to Memphis, where she was inspired by Owen's New Harmony Commune to establish her own community, naming it the Nashoba Commune. Here she intended to provide free education to slaves so that they might find employment and opportunities once free. She sank her personal fortune into the commune, hoping to establish an egalitarian community, though she retained ownership of the slaves who resided there. Her initial plans to educate the slaves until they were able to buy their freedom was not a successful one and the commune began to haemorrhage money. This caricature mocks Wright's lecture career, with a subservient young man holding her bonnet Nashoba wasn't Fanny's only interest and she spoke and wrote passionately on behalf of the working classes, gaining notoriety and respect in equal measure. She toured America again to lecture to huge audiences, inspiring devotion in her followers. However, all of this was to take its toll on her health and she was laid low by malaria. By the time she was fit to return to her position at Nashoba, the commune was on the verge of collapse. With funds running dry and sensation engulfing its free love approach, rumours of interracial relationships caused a scandal from which the commune could not recover. Fanny was forced to close Nashoba and in 1830 the 30 slaves who resided there were freed to travel under her care to Haiti. During the journey Fanny's beloved sister, Camilla, fell ill and died. Distraught, Fanny began a relationship with a French doctor, Guillayme D'Arusmon. She fell pregnant and, mindful of the scorn that would fall on her child if born out of wedlock, married D'Arusmon. The marriage ended in divorce and Fanny found herself embroiled in a legal nightmare with her former spouse, who had legally taken control of her finances and affairs. As she fought to win back what was rightfully hers, Fanny's health began to fail and she spent more and more time living with her daughter's family. Fanny's controversial life was to end in the winter of 1852 when she died from injuries sustained after slipping on icy ground. Today she is remembered for her passionate belief in the causes she espoused, remaining true to her ideals and principles to the end. I will leave the final words to the lady herself and the inscription carved on her tombstone. "I have wedded the cause of human improvement, staked on it my fortune, my reputation and my life."
The latest volume in Methuen's Collected Brecht includes two plays previously untranslated into English Volume 8 of Brecht's collected plays contains his last completed plays, from the eight years between his return from America to Europe after the war and his death in 1956. Brecht's ANTIGONE (1948) is a bold adaptation of Holderlin's classic German translation of Sophocles' play. A reflection on resistance and dictatorship in the aftermath of Nazism, it was a radical new experiment in epic theatre. THE DAYS OF THE COMMUNE (1949) is a semi-documentary account of the Paris Commune, and Brecht's most serious and ambitious historical play. TURANDOT is Brecht's version of the classic Chinese story is a satire on the intelligentsia of the Weimar Republic, Nazi bureaucracy, and other targets.

A nation within a nation. This large commune evolved on the site of abandoned barracks in 1971 by squatters and artists. It is an independent area inhabited by free-thinking people living according to their own set of rules. One of the most popular attractions in Copenhagen! This neighborhood is a hip quarter full of life and fun. Wander around and admire the street murals or just enjoy the relaxed atmosphere. Whether you are looking for art galleries, cafés, workshops or a chic place to eat, you will find it around here. The whole area is car-free. Also, cannabis is sold here freely, especially on Pusher Street, so do not take any pictures or run around the area. It might seem like there's a police raid.
It was a lifestyle to say the least and it radiated past the unnecessary notions of industrial progress for that of inner and group progress.

Eguisheim lies a few kilometers south of Colmar. With its cobbled winding streets and its flower-decked traditional medieval half-timbered houses, Eguisheim is one of Alsace's most attractive villages. Who could fail to fall under the spell of this charming village, in which time almost seems to have stood still. The town is particularly known for its round layout, following the former lines of its ramparts. When strolling through its streets, visitors often stop to admire the many houses dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, some of which have magnificent courtyards. In the main square, a statue of Pope Leo IX reminds us that Alsace's only Pope originated from this village (born: June 21, 1002). The commune is largely German-speaking. Eguisheim (Duits: Egisheim) is een dorp en gemeente in het Franse departement Haut-Rhin in de regio Elzas. De gemeente heeft een oppervlak van 14,2 km² en het aantal inwoners is 1541 (2004).

De rond lopende straten volgen de lijnen van oude stadsmuren. Paus Leo IX werd hier als Bruno, graaf van Egisheim en Dagsburg, in 1002 geboren.

DIG CD with 12-page booklet. The old Icelandic word 'Útiseta' means the practice of sitting out in the open air, possibly at a significant site for a magical purpose. THURNIN mastermind Jurre Timmer interprets this numinous act as a way to commune with nature, to find peace, and to gain spiritual wisdom in a time of introspection and transcendence. The Dutch acoustic music progeny has spent years in a contemplative mode to create his sophomore full-length entitled \"Útiseta\" and a collection of poetry to stand alongside the album. Very much feeling like a natural progression from the debut album \"Menhir\", Timmer is adding dashes of vocal colour and flute to the acoustic guitars on \"Útiseta\". While THURNIN remains tied to the world of dreams and visions that take the listener to otherwordly realms filled with magical wonders, \"Útiseta\" offers richer textures, and a more matured and warmer sound. Little was known about THURNIN when the mysterious Dutch solo-project of mastermind and sole musician Jurre Timmer emerged with the dark folk debut full-length \"Menhir\" in 2021. Before THURNIN, Timmer had released an album with his death doom project I, FORLORN. He also created 2 albums and 2 EPs for a project under the name of ALGOS. When \"Menhir\" found it's way from Timmer's home studio in the town of Soest by the Dutch city of Amersfoort, the album became an instant hit on YouTube that has long passed the milestone of 1 million views. Now THURNIN's eagerly awaited follow-up album \"Útiseta\" is ready to embark on a journey around the globe. Find yourself an ancient burial mound, a sacred well, or a grove in a forest, and sit on the ground listening to the new songs. \"Útiseta\" will send you the most beautiful visions from the dream-world. Album Tracks 1. Útiseta 2. Halcyon 3. Særa 4. Acquiescense 5. The Gale 6. Vagabond 7. Remembrance 8. The Seeress 9. Endrborinn
