Luxembourg is one of Europe's smallest states, yet it is rich in history and boasts a glorious past of emperors, knights, castles and faith. In modern times it has endured foreign occupation and partition before becoming a modern state in the nineteenth century. Despite this, Luxembourg enjoys influence way beyond its size. This book tells the story of Luxembourg from ancient times, through the crusader period and centuries of foreign domination, to the growth of the modern, prosperous Luxembourg of today.

Luxembourg: The Clog-Shaped Duchy: A Chronological History of Luxembourg from the Celts to the Present Day

This unique book examines the history, culture, and inner workings of the seven smallest independent countries in Europe. These are among the oldest states on the continent and, despite their diversity, they have much in common. Most have relatively high per capita incomes and life expectancies, and relatively low unemployment. This narrative presents the unique issues that confront small countries, including maintaining their independence, economic viability, preserving their native languages, and sustaining their governments. The second part of the book describes each microstate in turn, showing how each one has met these challenges and adapted over time. These concise and engaging chapters contain cultural information on subjects including the arts, gastronomy, and popular tourist sites.

Secrets of the Seven Smallest States of Europe: Andorra, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City

A sweeping saga about four generations of a family who live and love on an enchanting Mediterranean island off the coast of Italy—combining the romance of "Beautiful Ruins" with the magical tapestry works of Isabel Allende.

Castellamare is an island far enough away from the mainland to be forgotten, but not far enough to escape from the world’s troubles. At the center of the island’s life is a café draped with bougainvillea called the House at the Edge of Night, where over generations the community gathers to gossip and talk. Amedeo Esposito, a foundling from Florence, finds his destiny on the island with his beautiful wife, Pina, whose fierce intelligence, grace, and unwavering love guide her every move. An indiscretion tests their marriage, and their children—three sons and an inquisitive daughter—grow up and struggle with both humanity’s cruelty and its capacity for love and mercy.

Spanning nearly a century, through secrets and mysteries, trials and sacrifice, this beautiful and haunting novel follows the lives of the Esposito family and the other islanders who live and love on Castellamare: a cruel count and his bewitching wife, a priest who loves scandal, a prisoner of war turned poet, an outcast girl who becomes a pillar of strength, a wounded English soldier who emerges from the sea. The people of Castellamare are transformed by two world wars and a great recession, by the threat of fascism and their deep bonds of passion and friendship, and by bitter rivalries and the power of forgiveness, in this richly written and powerful novel.

Catherine Banner has written an enthralling, character-rich novel, epic in scope but intimate in feeling. At times, the island itself seems alive, a mythical place where the earth heaves with stories—and this magical novel takes you there.

An Expat's Life, Luxembourg &amp; The White Rose" is a refreshing and forthright take on the Englishman Abroad genre. Reading David Robinson's relaxed prose is like sitting down for a drink or two with the author in the pub of the title. Indeed, as the tome progresses, so the reader warms to Robinson's down-to-earth character. The author's very personal view of an expat's life in Luxembourg is not overbearing, and even the most informed reader will learn something new about the history of the Grand Duchy, its bureaucracy and social conventions and attitudes. The book is brimful with little snippets of useful information and trivia for those unfamiliar with the country, and Robinson's anecdotes will spark empathy with readers who live, or have lived, in Luxembourg. --Duncan Roberts, editor of "352 Magazine.

The Luxembourg Betrayal (International Legacies Romance #6)

What's an older sister to do? It's not all fun fairs and ice-cream. Well, it is - but that's beside the point. When one is in Luxembourg, there is a certain standard to maintain, and vacationing with Elves and Vampires is just so old school. But can Alex convince her younger sister, Jackie, of that? No, of course not, so she may as well get used to it. But deep beneath the ancient city of Luxembourg there lies a secret. The Vampires believe it is protected by the Elf. The Elf believes it is protected by a prophecy concerning Alex and Jackie. And the sisters? They believe shoes in Luxembourg are too expensive. Why are the Vampires going toe-to-toe with an Elf for the pleasure of the sisters' company? Why does the Elf think Alex and Jackie can sing? And just who let Sir Walter Raleigh and the Conquistadors into this story? To answer these questions will take all of the sisters' cunning, bravery and imagination, as well as some souvenir shopping. Because this is the Elf of Luxembourg and this is an Alex and Jackie Adventure.

The Elf of Luxembourg (The Alex and Jackie Adventures #2)

Can a rose be used to deceive? Perhaps there are possibilities if the rose acts as cover for armament shipments, or the code for conveying a message. In this fast-paced thriller set in Cold War Europe in 1965, Olga Diederich, a young female Stasi assassin, escapes from a secret CIA prison in Sardinia and begins her search for the woman who assumed her place as a Soviet agent. Olga aims to annihilate the woman and reinstate herself back into the communist intelligence machine. Previously in Rome, while Olga languishes in a cell, the CIA has stumbled upon a young American woman with exceptional linguistic skills, but even more astonishing is her uncanny resemblance to the assassin. The most extraordinary aspect of this CIA mole, however, is that she is a nun! Sister Gilmary, now in Luxembourg, assumes a new role as the Stasi agent in order to deceive the Soviets about where NATO's secret Gladio weapons are stored. After Olga figures out where her double operates and arrives in Luxembourg, she concocts a scheme to kill her. Meanwhile, another Stasi spy sent from East Berlin appears in Luxembourg with orders to build communist cells among the migrant laborers. Eventually, Olga and he each think they have discovered the location of the hidden NATO weapons, and each wants to be the first to deliver this information to their Stasi superiors. In the end, who deceives whom? Does the humble rose become unmasked? Does Gilmary survive? This novel is the sequel to CASTING A SHADOW OVER ROME, the first Sister Gilmary thriller.
