Description

Die SchönheitslinieSommer 1983: Als der zwanzigjhrige Nick Guest in den wohlhabenden Londoner Stadtteil Notting Hill zieht, erffnet sich ihm eine ganz neue Welt. Er bewohnt die Dachkammer des Elternhauses seines Kommilitonen Toby Fedden, in den er heimlich verliebt ist. Doch statt Toby sind es vor allem die anderen Mitglieder der Familie, die Nick in ihr Leben integrieren: der konservative Tory Abgeordnete Gerald, seine Frau Rachel und die manisch depressive Tochter

Sommer 1983: Als der zwanzigjährige Nick Guest in den wohlhabenden Londoner Stadtteil Notting Hill zieht, eröffnet sich ihm eine ganz neue Welt. Er bewohnt die Dachkammer des Elternhauses seines Kommilitonen Toby Fedden, in den er heimlich verliebt ist. Doch statt Toby sind es vor allem die anderen Mitglieder der Familie, die Nick in ihr Leben integrieren: der konservative Tory-Abgeordnete Gerald, seine Frau Rachel und die manisch-depressive Tochter Catherine. Schon bald oszilliert Nicks Alltag zwischen den abgründig-existenziellen Gesprächen mit Catherine und glamourösen Festen und Empfängen. Gebildet und attraktiv wie er ist, kommt er gut an bei den Reichen und Mächtigen, die sich im Haus der Feddens die Ehre geben. Doch die Tuchfühlungen mit der Londoner High Society sind nur eine Seite von Nicks neuem Großstadtleben. Die andere sind seine ausgiebigen Erkundungen schwuler Sinnesfreuden. Hier wie dort stürzt er sich rückhaltlos hinein in den Strom der schnellen Genüsse und flüchtigen Reize. Dabei ist ihm das Streben nach Eleganz und Schönheit wichtiger als ethische Überzeugungen. Doch die schönen Fassaden bekommen Risse, als die Aids-Epidemie London erreicht. Mit "Die Schönheitslinie" schuf Alan Hollinghurst ein kunstvoll komponiertes Sittenporträt der Londoner Upperclass der Achtzigerjahre und einen zeitlosen Roman über die Suche nach Liebe und Schönheit. Als das englische Original 2004 erschien, wurde es von der Kritik für seine James'schen Qualitäten gelobt und im selben Jahr mit dem renommierten Booker Prize ausgezeichnet.

Love them!
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
Love them! After 10 years with our MyPillows, they finally lost their fluff. The reviews I read of the MyPillows of today were not good; they didn’t have as much filling as they used to. These pillows remind me of how fluffy our new MyPillows were 10 years ago!! You sink right into them and can mush them however and they stay. These are way cheaper than the Coop and it’s the same concept; add or remove the filling as needed. The cooling side is a huge plus too! You won’t be disappointed with these pillows!

Comfortable and stays cool
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 1)
Great pillow. When i opened it, i noticed a strange smell, i assumed its the smell of whatever they use to make the pillow stay cool. You have to fluff it for a good amount of time to make sure the cooling agent spreads well in the foam. Is what i assumed atleast. Its a perfect amount of softness for me. Pair it with some bamboo pillow cases and you got a good night of sleep

Comfortable and Supportive, but Adjust the Filling
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2), Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
I’m very happy with this pillow. The size is big and it feels soft while still providing good support, perfect for midnight scrolling on TikTok. One thing to keep in mind is that it can feel a little too tall if you use all of the filling that comes with it. The good news is that you can easily adjust the amount of filling to find the height that works best for your sleeping position. Once I customized it, it was much more comfortable. Overall, great quality, comfortable, and worth the purchase.

BEST PILLOWS EVER!!!
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
I am very picky with my pillows because I have a bad neck and I can never seem to find a good pillow. But I tried this pillow because it had everything I was looking for and the price was great! You get two of them and they are absolutely awesome.! normally I would need to lay on two pillows to try and get comfortable but with these pillows I just lay on one and I wake up with no neck pain. They really have a nice cooling effect. They actually puff up immediately after opening them. All you have to do is just shake them up and the pillow just puffs straight up.. It comes with extra cushioning if you want it to make it firmer and if you don’t want it as firm as it is, you can actually take some out. It really is such a beautiful pillow. It’s perfect in every way to me being such a picky pillow person. You just lay your head down on it and it forms around your neck and your head and when you get up, it goes right back to its normal form. It doesn’t get flat and I love it. I completely recommend this to anyone who is a person who has a hard time finding a really good pillow.
