Bøger af Charlotte Bauer

Award-winning journalist Charlotte Bauer's warm, witty and wise quest for the meaning of life after youth and how to navigate the menopausal years.

A deliciously funny and sage guide to midlife - an unscientific, flaws-and-all account of one woman's adventures and misadventures through the dark comedy of the wilderness years. Through her own experiences as a fifty-something woman, and those of her three sisters, her indomitable mum and rebellious auntie, Charlotte tackles the big questions every woman seeks answers to at this time of our lives - chiefly: How the hell am I going to get over being young in a world obsessed with youth? Written with warmth, wisdom and irreverence this guide to midlife is perfect for readers of Nora Ephron, Caitlin Moran and India Knight.

Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, , language: English, abstract: The tragedy Macbeth by William Shakespeare is one of the most frequently read plays in English courses in the sixth form; one could say that the implementation of that play has become routine for many English teachers. But every time when something is frequently read, treated or done with routine, one has to bear in mind the danger of not scrutinizing things any more, the danger of taking given interpretations for granted. In order to take these thoughts into consideration, it is necessary to tackle the historical background, the development of the Shakespearean implementation in English courses so that mistakes from the past at dealing with the Bard of Avon are not repeated. Therefore, the first part of this term paper deals with a synchronic and a diachronic view on the Shakespeare implementation in the sixth form.
