Dieses eBook: "Reise durch England und Schottland" ist mit einem detaillierten und dynamischen Inhaltsverzeichnis versehen und wurde sorgfältig korrekturgelesen. Johanna Henriette Schopenhauer (1766-1838) war eine deutsche Schriftstellerin und Salonnière. Sie war die Mutter des Philosophen Arthur Schopenhauer und der Schriftstellerin Adele Schopenhauer. Sie reiste sie zweimal (1787 mit ihrem Mann und 1803 mit Mann und Sohn) nach Großbritannien und veröffentlichte ihre persönlichen Erfahrungen 1818 in ihrem Buch Reise durch England und Schottland. Besonders eine längere Tour durch die Highlands sowie die ausführlichen, fast die Hälfte des Berichts einnehmenden und teils sehr ironisch gefärbten Beobachtungen des Lebens in London trugen viel zum kontinentalen Schottland. Aus dem Buch: "Es ist eigentlich recht erfreulich, in diesem Lande zu reisen. Die schönsten Landschaftsgemälden ähnlichen Parks, die Gärten, die zweckmäßige Einrichtung der Häuser, der raffinierte Luxus, die Nettigkeit der Ordnung überall, die selbst in dem unbedeutendsten Hausgeräte sich zeigende Eleganz und Bequemlichkeit, machen einen frohen Eindruck auf den Besuchenden. Man wünscht sich alle diese Dinge nicht, weil man ihrer nicht gewohnt ist, oft nicht einmal ihren Gebrauch kennt; aber man bekommt ein Gefühl von heiterem Lebensgenusse. Nur den Wunsch, sich der Kunstwerke recht zu erfreuen, sie zu studieren, vielleicht etwas zu kopieren, muß man nicht aufkommen lassen; denn seine Erfüllung ist in diesem Lande mit so vielen Schwierigkeiten umgeben, dass sie fast undenkbar wird."

Arthur Morrison's 'A Child of the Jago' is a poignant and gritty portrayal of life in the infamous Jago slum in Victorian London. Written in a realist style, the novel vividly captures the harsh realities of poverty, crime, and social inequality in the East End of London. Morrison's attention to detail and raw, unflinching depiction of the slum's inhabitants make the novel a compelling and thought-provoking read. 'A Child of the Jago' is a valuable piece of social commentary that sheds light on the marginalization of the urban poor in the late 19th century. Morrison's use of dialect and descriptions of everyday struggle immerse the reader in the squalor and desperation of the Jago. The novel is a powerful reminder of the enduring impact of poverty and class disparities. I highly recommend 'A Child of the Jago' to readers interested in historical fiction, social history, and the human experience in times of adversity.
