The first high-end volume ever published on natural pearls, this beautiful book offers lavish and unique documentation of the finest collection of Persian Gulf pearls. This stunning, elegantly designed review is the first to highlight the unique collection of natural pearls belonging to the Alfardan family—one of the oldest and most successful traditional pearl merchants in the Gulf. Divided into seven chapters, this book covers the history, development, and flourishing of the pearl industry over the centuries in unprecedented detail. From the history of pearl diving to extracting pearls as a gift for loved ones to their appearance in trade, natural pearls have been present in and deeply connected to the society of the Persian Gulf, with a cultural emphasis in the Quran, poetry, and old legends and beliefs. This lavishly illustrated volume brings together an international team of scientists, specialists in natural history, and jewelry experts under the editorial supervision of Dr. Hubert Bari to explore the origins and diversity of natural pearls. Superbly photographed, a handpicked and never-before-published selection of the most iconic and rarest pieces takes readers on an exclusive journey into this magnificent and timeless collection. This beautifully packaged book will also feature a sophisticated clothbound cover in an elegant slipcase.

The preparation of this book has been a joint labor during the spare moments of the two authors, whose time has been occupied with subjects to which pearls are not wholly foreign—one as a gem expert, and the other in the fisheries branch of the American government. For many years the writers have collected data on the subject of pearls, and have accumulated all the obtainable literature, not only the easily procurable books, but likewise manuscripts, copies of rare volumes, original edicts, and legislative enactments, thousands of newspaper clippings, and interesting illustrations, many of them unique, making probably the largest single collection of data in existence on this particular subject. It was deemed advisable to present the results of these studies and observations in one harmonious volume, rather than in two different publications. While the book is a joint work in the sense that each writer has contributed material to all of the chapters and has critically examined and approved the entire work, the senior author has more closely applied himself to the latter half of the text, covering antiquity values, commerce, wearing manipulation, treatment, famous collections, aboriginal use, and the illustrations, while the junior author has attended to the earlier half of the book, with reference to history, origin, sources, fisheries, culture, mystical properties, and the literature of the pearl.

Vielleicht war es der meist beeindruckende Satz der letzten 6o Jahre ``Ich bin ein Berliner ́ ́ hatte John F. Kennedy am Rathaus von Schöneberg in die Menge gerufen und nur 5 Monate später fiel er einem Attentat zum Opfer. Es war eine Ereignis reiche Zeit und als die Berliner Hertha suspendiert wurde, war auch zeitlich gesehen das Ende meiner hier offenbarten Erzählungen erreicht. Doch was tat sich in der Provinz, in der asketischen Siedlung der Bergarbeiter? Sie waren im ganzen Kreisgebiet gefürchtet. Nicht nur die Knappen, nein auch die Nachkommen. Sie dominierten sowohl auf dem Fußballplatz als auch in den Straßen und in so manchen Gaststädten. Ihr Verhalten war die Retourkutsche für die oft unbegründeten Anfeindungen der Einheimischen. Dem oftmals aus der Luft gegriffenen Hass, folgte ein Nachklingen. Für die abwegigen Antipathien gab es Konsequenzen. Ganz so friedlich wie es hätte sein können war es mitnichten. Zudem wurden die Lehrlinge regelrecht ausgebeutet. Frauen riefen nach der Emanzipation. Überdruss war zu spüren in einer Stadt am Rande der Schwäbischen Alb. So gab es teils verbitterte, kleine Kriegsschauplätze aber auch viel Humorvolles. Kein Wunder also, dass bald schon die Achtundsechziger auf den Plan gerufen wurden. Reformen waren dringend notwendig. Aber gerade weil es so war, gab es reichlich Stoff, der hier auf spannende und lehrreiche Weise aufs Papier gebracht wurde.

Pearls -- small white beads of purity and perfection. It is no wonder that they have fascinated and bewitched cultures the world over for thousands of years. But just what is it about this ancient gem that has so closely bonded it to our lives, our culture, and our bodies? People and Pearls explores and reveals the power of pearls, with their remarkable ability to bestow upon their wearer a sense of mystery, elegance, and grace. It offers a personal look at the world's most celebrated jewel through portraits of the most memorable personages throughout civilization to have worn them -- from Queen Elizabeth to Uma Thurman, from Josephine Baker to Marilyn Monroe. It recounts the stories of particular strands of pearls that have such an enthralling history about them that they seem to take on a life of their own. Embellishing the text are more than one hundred lavish illustrations, photography as unique as the subject of the book: These are seductive, beautiful works of ail. Some are humorous. Some are as snapshots from a personal diary. Some are breathtakingly romantic, such as the portrait of Kiki de Montparnasse wearing only her pearls. And some -- like the timeless elegance of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's -- are dreamlike visions that are simply unforgettable. Masterfully written and beautifully designed, People and Pearls is not only a cultural, historical, and personal look at the magic of pearls-it is the definitive photographic book on the subject.

Ein egozentrischer, sexbesessener Macho bringt durch intrigante Spiele zwei gänzlich unterschiedliche Frauen fast zum Wahnsinn. Besessen von Selbstherrlichkeit geht er über Leichen, treibt sein diabolisches Spiel genussvoll ad absurdum. Mit frenetischer Leidenschaft bricht er Schwüre, treibt Menschen ins Verderben, lässt die beiden Rivalinnen mit geheuchelter Liebe und satanischen Ränkespielen in den Abgrund schlittern. ... verliert sich in aufsteigender Lust, ein gebrochenes Herz, ein gebrochener Schwur, ein gebrochener Mensch, Mord, das Böse triumphiert...
