The research process has revealed that, within seemingly disparate texts, Welsh space appears to be more important than Welsh people, and Wales’s physical presence more prominent than its language, history and culture. There is also duality of place and space in these Welsh settings. Wales as a named, known, bordered entity is superficially present, but through this the protagonists gain access to very different, even otherworldly, surroundings.

The family was elevated to noble rank in the Holy Roman Empire and the United Kingdom.[4][5] The family's documented history starts in 16th century Frankfurt; its name is derived from the family house, Coat of arms granted to the Barons Rothschild, built by Isaak Elchanan Bacharach in Frankfurt in Rothschild in 1822 by Emperor 1567.

  • Die Rothschilds Portrait Einer Familie.Pdf
    Über dieses Buch Die Rothschilds – nicht umsonst ist dieser Name zum Begriff geworden, nicht umsonst strahlt er nach wie vor seine alte Faszination aus. Denn es gibt in der Historie der letzten zwei Jahrhunderte wohl keine Familie, die so wie diese immer wieder im Brennpunkt des europäischen Geschehens gestanden hat, und keine, die so viele profilierte Köpfe aufweisen kann: Bankiers von weltweitem Einfluss, Vertraute gekrönter Häupter, Freun- de und Helfer grosser Staatsmänner, Mäzene und Sammler, Philanthro- pen und Politiker, Künstler und Forscher. Frederic Morton erzählt auf Grund authentischen Materials die Ge- schichte der «Dynastie Rothschild» von ihren Anfängen mit Mayer Am- schel Rothschild, Altwarenhändler und Münzsammler im Frankfurt des jungen Goethe, bis zur siebenten Generation heute. Eine ausführliche Ahnentafel dokumentiert diesen einzigartigen Aufstieg der Rothschilds aus der Frankfurter Judengasse zu sprichwörtlichem Reichtum, zu Macht, Einfluss und Ruhm. Wenn das Buch fast unmittelbar nach Erscheinen in USA ebenso wie in Deutschland zu einem aussergewöhnlichen Erfolg wurde, so ist das kein Wunder, denn Frederic Morton ist eine denkbar glückliche Vereinigung von fesselnder historischer Darstellung und reizvoller Schilderung des Menschlichen gelungen: ein grossartiges Porträt einer Familie ohneglei- chen. 3 März 1965 Vollständige Taschenbuchausgabe mit 52 Abbildungen Ins Deut- sche übertragen von Dr. Hans Lamm © Frederic Morton 1961 © der Originalausgabe «The Rothschilds» by The Curtis Publishing Co. © der deutschen Ausgabe Droemersche Verlagsanstalt Th.

  • Charlotte 'Chilly' Von Rothschild
    Charlotte ‘Chilly’ von Rothschild: mother, connoisseur, and artist Evelyn M. Cohen presents the life and work of one of the most accomplished artistic talents in the Rothschild family. Charlotte von Rothschild (10 August 1807 – 17 May 1859), affectionately referred to within her family as Chilly, was the first-born child of Nathan Mayer Rothschild, founder of the Rothschild bank in London, and his wife Hannah Barent Cohen. A talented and innovative artist, Chilly’s accomplishments have remained largely overshadowed by those of other illus- trious members of her family. Charlotte, who was born in Manchester and raised in London along with her six siblings, married her cousin Anselm von Rothschild in 1826 and moved to Frankfurt where her husband was active in the bank run by Amschel Mayer von Rothschild, uncle to both members of the bridal couple. Over a period of twenty years they had eight children, seven of whom survived into adulthood.¹ Early in her marriage Charlotte was portrayed by the Dutch-born painter Ary Scheffer, who was active in Paris beginning in 1811. Executed around 1827–1828, the portrait depicts Charlotte in three-quarter view, seated serenely while gazing at the viewer.² The painting was executed either during her pregnancy or within the short life of her first-born child Mayer Anselm Léon, who was born on 7 July 1827 and died a year later on 11 July 1828. Charlotte’s life of privilege is made evident in Scheffer’s work by the elegant white, somewhat diaphanous, gown and the lavish jewellery she wears. Charlotte was devoted to her offspring.
