Der Niederländer Henri Deterding gehörte zu den ganz Großen im Ölgeschäft. Er formte 'Royal Dutch/Shell' zum zweitgrößten Mineralölkonzern nach 'Standard Oil'. Noch vor wenigen Jahrzehnten in aller Munde, ist der Selfmademan, Sohn eines Kapitäns, heutzutage vergessen. Es gibt keinen Platz auf der Welt, keine Straße, die nach ihm benannt sind. Dabei war sein Leben außerordentlich spannend. Es ­ähnelte einem Sprint, den Henri Deterding mehr als 30 Jahre lang durchhielt und der ihn zu einem der reichsten Menschen auf dem Globus machte. Erstmalig wird in diesem Buch das ­Leben dieses Mannes beschrieben, der seit 1920 Sir Henri hieß und wenige Monate vor Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkriegs im ­schweizerischen St. Moritz im Alter von 73 Jahren starb. Zum Vergessen von Deterding trug bei, dass er - auch bedingt durch zwei Eheschließungen - in die Nähe der großen Politik ­geriet. Deterding hatte einen wesentlichen Anteil daran, dass Großbritannien im Ersten Weltkrieg auf einem 'Meer von Öl' dem Sieg entgegengesegelt sei, wie ein zeitgenössisches Urteil über ihn lautete. Die Verbindung mit einer russischen Frau ­machte ihn in den 1920er-Jahren zu einem erbitterten Gegner der Sowjetunion, die Hochzeit mit einer Hamburgerin zu jemandem, der in den 1930er-Jahren nach Hitler-Deutschland kam, während die anderen gingen. Deterding wurde dadurch zu einer von Spekulationen und Verdächtigungen umgebenen Figur, gipfelnd in dem Vorwurf, dass er Hitler, wenn nicht zur Macht verholfen, so doch finanziell entscheidend unterstützt habe. Jochen Thies ist all diesen Fragen nachgegangen. Er kommt anhand seiner Recherchen zu Ergebnissen, die zu einer Neubewertung von Deterding zwingen. Das Erstaunliche daran ist, dass sie angesichts der Bedeutung des Mannes so lange unterblieben ist.

Soft, Stylish Leopard Blanket That’s Lightweight, Cozy, and Big Enough to Share
I have been using this leopard print blanket on both the bed and the couch, and it hits a really nice balance between style, size, and comfort. I went with the larger twin style size instead of a small throw, and that was the right call; it is big enough to fully cover me when I am lying on the couch and works much better for two people sitting side by side than a standard throw that always feels a bit cramped. It also looks great draped across the end of a bed or over the back of a sofa, so it doubles as decor. The leopard pattern is genuinely attractive in person. Up close you can see that it is a printed, short shag/flannel style rather than true faux fur, but the brown leopard version still reads more realistic and intentional than a lot of loud, pink “leopard” prints. The colors are vibrant and have a nice pop without being tacky, so it fits easily into different rooms and color schemes as a fun accent. From a distance, it gives a soft, faux fur vibe that looks more expensive than it is. Comfort wise, it is very soft and pleasant to snuggle with. One side feels just slightly softer than the other, but both are smooth and cozy against the skin. It is a single layer blanket with rolled and stitched edges, so it is not a super thick winter comforter, but that actually makes it more versatile. It provides enough warmth to feel comforting without being overly hot, which makes it a nice year round piece: cozy in cooler weather with an extra layer, and just right on its own in milder seasons. The blanket is also lightweight, which makes it easy to move around the house or pack for travel, while still feeling substantial enough that it does not come across as flimsy. It has held up well so far, and the overall quality feels good for the price, especially given the larger size. If you love animal prints and want something that works as both decor and a genuinely comfy blanket to curl up with, this one is easy to recommend. Pros: Large twin style size is big enough to fully cover an adult or share on the couch Soft, plush flannel style fabric that feels cozy against the skin Lightweight but still warm enough to be comfortable year round Brown leopard print looks stylish and more realistic than many novelty patterns Colors are vibrant and work well with a variety of room styles and palettes Edges are neatly rolled and stitched, giving it a clean finished look Cons: Single layer construction means it is not as heavy or insulating as a thick winter blanket

Super Cozy & Stylish – My New Favorite Throw Blanket
I recently got this brown leopard print throw blanket, and it quickly became one of my favorite cozy essentials at home. The first thing that stood out to me was the trendy animal print design—it adds a bold, stylish touch to my living room and makes my couch look instantly more put together. The material is incredibly soft and plush. It has that fluffy flannel feel that’s perfect for snuggling, whether I’m watching TV, reading, or just relaxing. It’s warm without being too heavy, which makes it great for using all year round. I also really like the size (60" x 80")—it’s big enough to fully wrap around me or share when sitting on the couch. It works just as well on the bed as it does as a decorative throw. Another plus is how lightweight and easy to carry it is. I’ve even taken it along for road trips, and it’s been perfect for staying comfortable on the go. If I had to point out one small downside, it’s that lighter-colored fabrics can show wear over time if not cared for properly, so I make sure to wash it gently to keep it looking fresh. Overall, I’m really happy with this blanket. It’s the perfect mix of comfort and style, and it adds a cozy, fashionable vibe to any space. Definitely a great pick if you love soft textures and bold décor!
