In Scandinavia the whole period of Christmas, from the first Sunday in Advent to New Year's Day, is marked by festivals and celebrated in traditional but beautifully contemporary style. Hygge, the Danish word for cosiness, is about being inside with candles, great comfort food and lots of cakes and sweets. The first week of December is baking week - enough has to be made to last the whole Christmas period. Jars of decorated cookies, gingerbread houses and clogs filled with little presents rub shoulders with simple wreaths, trees and tables decorated with white candles and fresh greenery - the perfect mix of ancient and modern. Brunches, cocktail and tea parties, lunches and dinners are celebrated with a mixture of traditional goodies and delicious modern recipes. Duck and pork rule on Christmas Eve, fish, ham and seasonal vegetables on Christmas Day. Sweets, biscuits, puddings and other treats abound - all washed down with gluwein and fruity cocktails. In this glorious book, illustrated with Lars Ranek's evocative photographs, Trine Hahnemann provides a cornucopia of 70 Christmas recipes - all featuring ingredients which are common to all northern climes - showing us how we, too, can decorate our homes and make delicious dishes to celebrate Christmas the Scandinavian way.

The Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt is one of the oldest Christmas markets in Germany. The pre-Christmas fair on Nurembergs main market square can be traced back to the middle of the 16th century. Martin Luther promoted the Christ Child or Christkindl as a gift bringer and the date of giving gifts changed from December 6 to Christmas Eve. But now she has strong competition from Santa Claus as gift bringer. You men and women who were once children too, be children again, says the Christkind, as she greets her guests on Nurembergs Main Market Square to open the Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt.

The main Montreux Christmas Market - Marché de Noël in French - is called the Lakeside Christmas Market. In this enchanting setting, extending for more than one kilometer along Lake Geneva's shoreline, you will find 170 stalls with crafts, tastings of local specialties, mulled wine and thousands of gift ideas. The size is as in a big German or Austrian city! Compared to other Christmas markets Montreux has more personal luxury items than traditional warm winter clothes. There does not appear to be an official Nativity as we have seen in the Catholic lands like Luxembourg, Austria and Bavaria. But also, the Nativity is not banned as in Strasbourg.

The Emotional Prostitute is the story of Patricia. She is a middle age woman who has undergone one failure after another in her personal relationships. Her emotional quest always ends up in frustration, anger and bitterness. Finally, she accepted that her destiny is to live her life alone. She was settled with that, until before she came to Dubai and met Fareed. In her attempt to change the course of destiny, she gambled in another relationship with the man hoping to win the game. But Fareed offered nothing but lies and she was cheated one last time. Instead of accepting her defeat, Patricia cried out for a payback. Wael came to her rescue, helped her recover from the grief and planned the revenge she craves for. Death completely satisfied her thirst for vengeance but compassion drained out of her heart. Wael fell in love with her and begged for a chance to prove that love. He tried his best to open up Patricia's heart. But when love became a passionate lie and sex has been a lustful expression of deceit, nothing survives in the playground of the liars and cheats. Patricias insurmountable fear prevailed and she was forever scared to take another chance. For a woman of self acquired power and determination, being cheated is a bitter pill to take. Patricia managed to come through the ordeal. You will pity and cry for her pains. You will envy her strength and will be awed by her courage. In the end, you will hate her pride and stubbornness. "The Emotional Prostitute" is a story of love, hate, passion, sex, defeat and triumph. It is Patricia's story, but it is anybody's story. It could be your story...or mine. Find out where you are!

This was the most popular print series ever made in Japan. It was even more popular series ever made in Japan. It was even more popular than the Hokusai series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, which had been recently published and which had influenced Hiroshige tremendously (ISBN 9783756844104). There were 53 post stations along this important road, apart from the start and terminus, in all 55 prints, which are all here in the order from Edo to Kyoto, as in the Hoeido edition (1833-34).
