Von der Königin verstoßen
Matrix - Lauren Groff

Europa im Jahr 1158: Vom royalen Hof von Eleanore von Aquitanien verstoßen, wird Marie von Frankreich, die Halbschwester der Königin, nach England geschickt. Die 17-Jährige soll die neue Priorin eines verarmten Klosters werden. Marie ist über diese Entscheidung entsetzt. Aber sie muss sich fügen…

 

„Matrix“ ist ein Roman von Lauren Groff.

 

Meine Meinung:
Der Roman besteht aus drei Teilen, wovon zwei wiederum in Kapitel untergliedert sind. Die Geschichte umspannt etliche Jahre. Erzählt wird im Präsens aus der Sicht von Marie.

Die Sprache ist ungekünstelt, manchmal sogar etwas grob, gleichzeitig aber eindringlich und mit poetischer Note. Der Schreibstil sticht definitiv heraus.

 

Zwar ist die Handlung im Mittelalter angesiedelt. Bei der Geschichte geht es aber nicht um einen typischen historischen Roman. In mehrfacher Hinsicht ist das Buch ungewöhnlich. Das trifft auch auf den Inhalt zu.

 

Mit Marie steht eine interessante Protagonistin im Vordergrund, die mir zwar ein wenig fremd blieb, aber authentisch wirkt.

 

Besonders angesprochen haben mich - neben der reizvollen Figur - die feministische Komponente und andere provokante Themen, die ich hier nicht vorwegnehmen möchte. Leider fehlt eine Einordnung oder ein Nachwort, um den Wahrheitsgehalt und die historischen Fakten ohne eigene Recherche von der Dichtung trennen zu können.

 

Auf nur etwa 300 Seiten ist das Erzähltempo mal gemächlich, mal gestrafft. Langeweile kam für mich, auch dank mehrerer Überraschungen, nicht auf.

 

Das Cover ist unkonventionell für diese Art von Roman, gefällt mir unter optischen Gesichtspunkten aber sehr gut. Der Titel ist wortgetreu aus dem englischsprachigen Original übernommen.

 

Mein Fazit:
„Matrix“ von Lauren Groff ist ein ungewöhnlicher Roman, der mich zwar nicht in allen, aber in vielen Aspekten überzeugen konnte.

Global Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC) Market Analysis, Shares, Size, Research, and Forecast Report Up To 2025

Global Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC) Market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR in the upcoming period as the scope and its applications are rising enormously across the globe. Ceramic matrix composites (CMC) are termed as composite materials that comprise ceramic fibers entrenched in a ceramic matrix.

 

The factors that are playing a major role in the growth of ceramic matrix composites market are the rising concern towards environment and strict pollution control policy, the high strength and lightweight, and the rising demand from end-users to create durable structures. However, the high initial investment and the high cost of products may restrain the overall market in the years to come. Ceramic matrix composites (CMC) industry is segmented based on product type, application, and region.

 

Access Sample Report of this report @ https://bit.ly/3BBNjBJ

 

 

Carbon, oxide, silicon carbide, and other product types could be explored in ceramic matrix composites (CMC) market in the forecast period. Silicon carbide (SiC) sector accounted for the substantial share of ceramic matrix composites industry and is estimated to lead the overall market in the years to come. Also, the carbon ceramic composites sector is estimated to grow at the fastest pace in the years to come. 

The market may be categorized based on applications like electrical & electronics, aerospace, energy & power, defense, and others that could be explored in the forecast period. The aerospace sector accounted for the significant share of ceramic matrix composites (CMC) industry and is estimated to continue its dominance in the years to come. The reason could be its properties like the outstanding thermal shock resistance, excellent load resistance, greater flexibility, and high-temperature stability. Also, the defense sector is estimated to grow at the fastest pace in the years to come.

 

Globally, North America accounted for the substantial share of ceramic matrix composites market and is estimated to lead the overall market in the years to come. The reason behind the overall market growth could be the presence of the aviation industry, government initiative by rising investment in the defense & aerospace sectors, and the presence of key manufacturers in the region. The United States is a major consumer of ceramic matrix composites (CMC) in this region.

 

Europe and the Asia Pacific are also estimated to have a positive influence on future growth. Europe is the second largest region with significant market share. However, Asia Pacific is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR in the forecast period. The developing countries like India and China are the major consumers of ceramic matrix composites (CMC) in this region.

 

The key players of ceramic matrix composites industry are COI Ceramics, Inc., General Electric Company, UBE Industries, Ltd., and Coorstek, Inc. These players are concentrating on inorganic growth to sustain themselves amidst fierce competition.

Inspired or lost in the technology matrix?
Mindful Being - Nataša Pantović Nuit

We live surrounded by an increasingly complex matrix of impulses (transmitted via TV, media and the internet) that allow strangers of all sorts to interfere in our mental, emotional and spiritual development. Understanding this intricate network and how the human brain interacts with it is becoming our door to happiness and health.

 

Our interaction with the Net, with TV and with computers has replaced our interaction with nature which in its magical way nurtures our cognitive,emotional, physical and psychological well-being

 

The self or the personality is a bundle of socially-influenced traits that emerges and is formed gradually. We are shaped by our parents and neighbours, by our religion, the media, by various marketing agendas of major corporations, by our state’s politics, by the way we behave or misbehave towards our own body, our mind, the environment, animals and plants, and our planet Earth.

So, what would we need to do to understand the importance of a healthy body, to manage our emotions and nurture love for our friends and family, to become aware of how we can make a positive impact on our society or the environment, or discover the purpose of life and ways to be happy?

A great deal is known about the links between our behaviour and TV, and between our emotions and computer games, because there have been thousands of studies on these subjects. Researchers have all asked the same question – whether there is a link between exposure to violence (on TV or in a game) and violent behaviour.
