Living Places: Lives, Loves and Conflicts

Lives, Loves and Conflicts will be the protagonists of our journey through the 19th and 20th century. This time our virtual journey will take us to far countries such as Australia, or famous literature settings such as Yorkshire, Dicken's London or Dracula's castle. We'll also learn about living conditions at that time and about important people.
But we will also learn about famous episodes in history such as the attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament by Guy Fawkes or the first Thanksgiving dinner.

Life used to be really different at the end of the eighteenth century and in the nineteenth century. Consider transport, entertainment, working conditions, health and nutritional standards, or technology- no emails, no planes, no video games and much more.
- Catherine Earnshaw's walking across the moors four miles from Thrushcross Grange to Wuthering Heights was considered a long journey.
- Most of the main characters in this novel die before 40.
