Ten years ago, Bella and Nick Ivins left the city behind and
relocated to Walnuts Farm, high on the Sussex Weald. Inspired by
the Modern Homesteading movement, they decided to embrace a
self-sufficient way of life. The New Homesteader tells the story of
their family life on their home farm and provides all the knowledge
necessary for anyone thinking of embracing a self-sustaining
lifestyle and starting their own homestead or urban farm - or even
just tending their own little plot to provide a supply of fresh
ingredients throughout the year. Starting with the Kitchen Garden,
Nick and Bella discuss designing and planning a plot then move on
to choosing and planting fruit and vegetable crops. Next, in The
Orchard, they explain how to plant and tend an orchard as well as
growing soft fruit. Animals covers the topic of livestock,
including keeping bees, chickens and other small poultry and
rearing lambs and pigs. And The Garden tackles a range of
associated subjects such how to make any additional outside space
productive by planting a wildflower meadow, a small woodland and
even a nuttery. The Outbuildings takes a closer look at the places
and spaces at the heart of a successful homestead - the barn, the
woodyard, the workshop and the store, where summer produce (such as
potatoes, onions and apples) is stored to keep the homestead going
during the lean winter months. Finally, in The Farmhouse, Nick and
Bella move on to the hub of the homestead, the backdrop for
day-to-day farm life. The farmhouse kitchen is the place where
produce is canned and preserved, bread is baked and dairy products
are produced. Other sections address decorating with natural finds
and homestead housekeeping, including natural cleaning products.
Whether you dream of starting a homestead in the city, the country
or the suburbs to become fully or only partially self sufficient,
The New Homesteader puts that dream within reach.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
