"I had two husbands." The discovery of long-hidden love letters leads New York caterer Cara Serafini on a journey to understanding her formidable grandmother, Giulia Fiorillo. Born in a mountain village in southern Italy, the spirited Giulia arrives at the age of sixteen in a rough New York immigrant neighborhood at the beginning of the twentieth century, forced from the comforts and constrictions of her family by the fierce drive of her mother. In America, Giulia faces not only an inhospitable culture but also violence in the family and in the streets, shattering loss and a love that shapes her whole life. Love, loss, and resilience on the immigrant journey from Italy to New York.
Wiener Werkstätte: Textiles and their design This book presents new research and archival findings on the textile and fashion designs of the Wiener Werkstätte movement (1903-1932).

The publication explores works by lesser-known female textile artists; the influence of Eastern European folk art, Japanese patterns, and ornamentation textbooks on textile designs; applications in fashion, interior design, film, theater; and marketing strategies used to enter new markets in the US.

Emma durchlebt eine schwierige Zeit, lasst ihr Studium sausen und jobbt im Restaurant der Eltern an der Kuste. Wahrend eines Gewitters verirrt sie sich im Montseny und reist unfreiwillig in der Zeit. Bei dem Versuch nach Hause zuruckzukehren, gerat sie immer tiefer in die Vergangenheit. Gerade als es scheint, dass Emma ihren Platz im mittelalterlichen Barcelona findet, nimmt ihr Leben erneut eine unerwartete Wendung.
