"Nichts lässt sich mit den Alpen vergleichen", stellt der berühmte französische Historiker Jules Michelet 1868 fest. Das riesige Alpenmassiv im Herzen Europas birgt einige der großartigsten Naturschönheiten der Welt - den Montblanc, die Jungfrau, das Matterhorn und ihre Gletscher. Der Tourismus, der im späten 18. Jahrhundert einsetzt, nimmt in der Folgezeit gewaltig zu, insbesondere durch den unaufhaltsamen Aufschwung des Wintersports. Dieses Buch entführt uns in eine hinreißend altmodische Zeit, in der die ersten Berg- und Zahnradbahnen Herren in Lederhosen und Damen in langen Röcken an den Rand der Gletscher brachten, in der einheimische Bergführer mit Touristen auf Maultierrücken unterwegs waren, Bergsteiger als Verrückte galten und Skifahrer eine Kuriosität darstellten. Mittels Photochromen, Fotografien, kolorierten Postkarten, Plakaten und Reiseprospekten aus dem späten 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhundert überqueren wir Pässe wie den Mont Cenis, Simplon, Brenner und St. Gotthard, besteigen den Montblanc, den Eiger, das Wetterhorn und die Dolomiten, bewundern kristallklare Seen in der Schweiz, Italien, Bayern und Slowenien, erkunden Tirol, die Via Mala oder das Engadin und steigen für eine Wintersportsaison in einem Grandhotel in Gstaad, Grindelwald, Davos, St. Moritz oder Cortina ab. Ein Streifzug, den Zitate von Reiseschriftstellern begleiten und der an die glücklichen Zeiten erinnert, als Schnee und Berge noch unberührt waren!

Unveiling the Depths of Christmas: A Riveting Exploration Beyond Biblical Narratives
Format: Hardcover
As a devout Christian with a penchant for insightful literature, I was captivated by 'Christmas: The Rest of the Story' the moment I laid eyes on it. This masterful work delves into the historical context surrounding the birth of Christ, offering a treasure trove of additional facts gleaned from meticulous research. The author's prose is as exquisite as the illustrations that adorn its pages, weaving a narrative that not only enriches our understanding of Christmas but also reaffirms the credibility of the biblical account. This book is more than just a read; it's a timeless keepsake, destined to be cherished and shared for generations to come. I wholeheartedly recommend it to fellow believers seeking deeper insights into the holiday's significance. Prepare to be enlightened and inspired!

Incredible reading
Format: Hardcover
I bought this just before Christmas when a guest speaker talked about it in our church. I immediately looked up and bought it right away. This is a quality book. Hard bound with heavy gloss paper and nice art inside and out. But the real value is inside. I couldn't put it down. If you've ever wanted to know more indepth details about the Christmas story, a detailed and true explanation of the birth of Jesus, this is the book to buy. It's worth every penny. If you've ever had questions like: why those shepherds? what made them so special? details about the "wise men", why do only Luke and Mark detail these events, why Nazareth? and so much more... buy the book! I took my book over my daughter's house for Christmas Eve with her and her kids + a few friends. They aren't all as familiar with scripture as my husband and I are, but I've insisted on continuing the tradition my mom started of reading the Christmas Story before we open any presents. I brought this book and told them a few things covered in the book... like where the manger was. When we left, I offered to leave the book if anyone wanted to look at it... one of the girls excitedly said she was hoping I would leave it. She really wanted to read it. I couldn't have been more thrilled. I would encourage anyone interested in this book to buy it, read it, and give it to someone else who will read it too. For the money, what a great witnessing tool! It's so factual, it will speak to those who are kind of "on the fence".

Want to know the back story behind Christmas? Rick Renner is a scholar and pastor extraordinaire! He delves into the Greek and highlights many details that you may have passed over in scripture! This is a wonderful read, the artistry is beautiful and he has written a back story for Easter also if you love this one. You will not regret getting this book!
