The story concerns the attempt of Rosamunde, who was brought up incognito as a shepherdess by the mariner's widow Axa, to reclaim her throne. Fragmentary autograph sources relating to the first version of the play have been recovered, too. However, a later modified version of the play, in five acts, was discovered in the State Library of Württemberg, and was published in 1996. The text version of Chézy's original play, in four acts, as premiered with Schubert's music, is lost. Music and play premiered in Vienna's Theater an der Wien on 20 December 1823. Rosamunde, Fürstin von Zypern ( Rosamunde, Princess of Cyprus) is a play by Helmina von Chézy, which is primarily remembered for the incidental music which Franz Schubert composed for it.

Even after centuries of culinary transformations throughout the South, that fragrance lingers in kitchens throughout the region. More than a century after the last hams were hung to smoke in that chamber, the aroma of salt, smoke, and air-dried pork still permeates the rough masonry walls and clay floor, filling the air with its earthy perfume. To begin to understand the place that this iconic food holds in the hearts of southerners, Damon Lee Fowler writes, one has only to step into the historic smokehouse of Thomas Jefferson's Monticello and take a deep breath. While the hindquarters of swine have been preserved in salt the world over for thousands of years, there are only a few places on earth where ham is as celebrated or integral to the cuisine as it is in the American South. After nearly two decades, Metal Gear Solid's once-innovative stealth mechanics seem outdated, the cutscenes have lost some of their action movie punch, and the game's treatment of women is often out of touch. The only problem: The Burches grew up but their all-time favorite video game didn't. And why wouldn't they? Hideo Kojima's 1998 game featured groundbreaking stealth mechanics, a gruff and hunky leading man, a brilliantly claustrophobic setting, tons of cinematic cutscenes, shocking fourth wall breaks, and terrifying bosses. Before they co-created the hit web series Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin'?, Ashly and Anthony Burch were just a brother and sister who shared a weird obsession with Solid Snake and his 3D debut, Metal Gear Solid. It's the beginning of his downfall as a Cossack. While there Curtis falls in love with a Polish princess Christine Kauffman. Brynner sends them off to school in Poland to learn all the Poles know. In the meantime he fathers two sons, Tony Curtis and Perry Lopez, who both inherit their father's geopolitical views. He goes back to the steppes of the Ukraine and awaits a time for some real payback. Yul Brynner as one of the Cossack brigade commanders lops off the right hand of Guy Rolfe, the Polish prince in retribution, but that hardly satisfies. As rulers the Poles hire out the Cossack Ukranians who in today's terminology might be considered a paramilitary outfit to fight off the Ottoman Turks and then turn on them. Not sure why the script didn't include it. The Poles are Roman Catholic and the Ukranians are Russian Orthodox, it's a very big part of the reason for the resentments shown here yet we never see the religious beliefs portrayed for either group. What's strangely muted in this version though is the religious angle. It's an exciting portrait of 16th century Ukraine under the then powerful kingdom of Poland. Although the famous Nikolai Gogol novel, Taras Bulba, was filmed many times, this version starring Tony Curtis and Yul Brynner is the best known at least in the USA. Only mutual trust and understanding can end their pain and give them a hard won shot at love. Yet neither can guess how their unlikely tryst will threaten Dane's frightening secret and Willow's tentative peace with her own choices. Stranded together in his Jeep as night falls, the two loneliest people in Vermont find themselves sharing more than they'd planned. Her skidding truck forces him off the road during a blizzard. Reluctant country girl Willow Reade meets Dane by accident. The real-life curse he's inherited from his mother will eventually cost him everything: his place on the Olympic ski team, his endorsement income, and his ability to fly downhill at top speed. Ski racer Dane "Danger" Hollister does not do relationships, though he keeps his reason a secret.

A great starting point for students seeking an introduction to Erdrich and the critical discussions surrounding her work. Other writers may be read with profit, with admiration, and with interest but few, like Plutarch, can gossip pleasantly while instructing solidly can breathe life into the dry skeleton of history, and show that the life of a Greek or Roman worthy, when rightly dealt with, can prove as entertaining as a modern novel. The great Duke of Marlborough, it is said, confessed that his only knowledge of English history was derived from Shakespeare’s historical plays, and it would not be too much to say that a very large proportion of educated men, in our own as well as in Marlborough’s times, have owed much of their knowledge of classical antiquity to the study of Plutarch’s Lives. From the period of the revival of classical literature in Europe down to our own times, his writings have done more than those of any other single author to familiarise us with the greatest men and the greatest events of the ancient world.
