Eine Insel außerhalb der Zeit Die Pfaueninsel in der Havel ist ein künstliches Paradies. In seinem opulenten, kundigen und anrührenden Roman erzählt Thomas Hettche von dessen Blüte, Reife und Verfall aus der Perspektive des kleinwüchsigen Schlossfräuleins Marie, in deren Lebenslauf sich die Geschichte eines ganzen Jahrhunderts verdichtet.Es mutet an wie ein modernes Märchen, denn es beginnt mit einer Königin, die einen Zwerg trifft und sich fürchterlich erschrickt. Kaum acht Wochen nach dieser Begegnung auf der Pfaueninsel, am 19. Juli 1810, ist die junge Königin Luise tot - und der kleinwüchsige Christian und seine Schwester Marie leben fortan weiter mit dem entsetzten Ausruf der Königin: »Monster!« Damit ist die Dimension dieser Geschichte eröffnet. Am Beispiel von Marie, die zwischen den Befreiungskriegen und der Restauration,zwischen Palmenhaus und Menagerie, Gartenkunst und philosophischen Gesprächen aufwächst und der königlichen Familie bei deren Besuchen zur Hand geht, erzählt Thomas Hettche von der Zurichtung der Natur, der Würde des Menschen, dem Wesen der Zeit und der Empfindsamkeit der Seele und des Leibes.Dabei geht es um die Gestaltung dieses preußischen Arkadiens durch den Gartenkünstler Lenné und um all das, was es bevölkerte: Palmen, Kängurus und Löwen, Hofgärtner, Prinzen, Südseeinsulaner, Riesen, Zwerge und Mohren - und es geht um die Liebe in ihren mannigfaltigen Erscheinungsformen.Thomas Hettche ist das Kunststück gelungen, mit dem historisch verbürgten Personal seiner Geschichte von uns Heutigen zu erzählen. Atmosphärisch, detailgetreu und voller Lust an der phantasievollen Ausschmückung.

Comfortable, Practical Everyday Cotton Shorts That Hit Most of the Right Notes
Size: Large, Color: 2 Pack - Navy
These Fruit of the Loom Eversoft cotton shorts are exactly the kind of go-to casual shorts you reach for when comfort matters more than fashion. They’re soft, simple, and dependable — great for lounging around the house, running errands, or just staying comfortable on warm days. The Eversoft cotton lives up to its name. The fabric feels genuinely soft against the skin and stays comfortable even after hours of wear. It’s not clingy or rough, and it breathes well enough to keep you cool on a hot afternoon. For everyday comfort, they’re noticeably better than basic cotton shorts that can feel stiff or scratchy. One of the features that makes these a practical choice is the pockets. They’re real pockets — roomy enough to hold your phone, wallet, keys, or whatever you carry on a quick outing. That’s worth calling out because a lot of lounge shorts feel great but skimp on usable storage. These don’t. The fit is relaxed without being sloppy. The elastic waistband with drawstring adjusts easily and stays comfortable through activity or inactivity. They don’t dig in or feel restrictive, which makes them easy to wear for sleeping, working from home, watching TV, or walking the dog. Build quality is solid for the price point. The stitching holds up through wear and washes, and the shorts don’t lose shape or shrink dramatically after laundering. They’re not going to feel like premium athletic gear or performance fabrics, but for what they are — casual cotton shorts — they stay reliable over time. These aren’t going to be your choice for intense workouts, formal occasions, or anything that demands technical fabrics, but for everyday comfort and simplicity, they’re hard to beat. Soft, breathable cotton with pockets and a dependable fit makes these shorts versatile and easy to wear on repeat. Overall, these Fruit of the Loom Eversoft shorts are exactly what most people want from casual summertime wear: comfortable, practical, and dependable. Five stars for everyday use and solid comfort.

Comfortable Everyday Cotton Shorts
Size: XX-Large, Color: 2 Pack - Black
Soft fabric, good stretch, and a relaxed fit that lands at a perfect length, these shorts hit that sweet spot between lounge wear and quick‑errand gear. The waistband has enough give without feeling flimsy, the pockets are actually usable, and the overall feel stays comfortable through the day. For the price, they’re an easy pickup that delivers exactly what you want from simple cotton shorts.

Good for the price
Size: X-Large, Color: 2 Pack - Black
they're very good for the price. There's definitely alot of noticeable cost cutting (material feels kind of thin, and the inside of the shorts look "rough" and unfinished). But still they look good and are comfortable and light. Great for summer and will live up to their price. fits well.

They are comfortable!
Size: X-Large, Color: 2 Pack - Navy
I really like them. Pockets are very helpful and the size was right for me eventhough it was suggested a size bigger. Washed both already and noticed no shrinkage. Very comfortable and the length is just above the knees. Great for hanging about, in the gym or even a trip to the store.
