December månad och julen stod för dörren på den skånska landsbygden. Högtiden till trots fanns det få anledningar att fira. De dansk-svenska krigen slet Skåne isär: närsomhelst kunde svenskarna skicka knektar från Eriksholm för att beslagta den ont förvärvade säden. Men förhållandet till danskarna var inte heller glatt. Greve Tage Ottessen Thott hade låtit byamännen attackera det svårintagna Erikholms slott med enbart påkar och liar till hands. Oavsett vem skåningen lierade sig med så verkade svälten vara livets enda garanti..."... och ingen saknade dem" är den fjärde och avslutande boken i sviten om de svenska härjningstågen som senare skulle leda till att Skåne åter blev svenskt.

Danmark har en lang og spændende historie, der strækker sig mange tusind år tilbage i tiden. Gennem fire bind fortæller Sven Skovmand om landets historie, helt fra dengang isen trak sig tilbage og gjorde det muligt for mennesker at slå sig ned i landet og op til det tyvende århundredes verdenskrige og politiske spændinger og ind i det nye årtusind.Andet bind af "Den danske historie" fortæller om tiden mellem 1500 og 1700, hvor nogle af de mest skelsættende begivenheder i danmarkshistorien fandt sted.

Arnolphe prétend qu'une femme ne peut être sage et vertueuse qu'autant qu'elle est ignorante et niaise. Aussi, pour avoir une épouse à sa guise, il fait élever sa jeune pupille, Agnès, au fond de sa maison, sous la garde d'un valet et d'une servante aussi niais qu'elle. La jeune Agnès, qui a été élevée dans la plus grossière ignorance, se fatigue bientôt de l'isolement où on la retient. S'étant mise un jour à la fenêtre, elle aperçoit un beau jeune homme qui la salue ; elle, qui ignore jusqu'aux plus simples convenances, rend le salut qu'on lui fait et se laisse bientôt prendre au bel air et aux belles paroles du jeune Horace. On rit du supplice où tes confidences d'Horace mettent le pauvre Arnolphe qui finit par faire pitié, tant il est puni de son système d'éducation. Le génie comique de Molière n'a pas pris une ride. Cet auteur sait corriger les mœurs par le rire, pointer les travers de nos contemporains avec justesse, et les thèmes de ses œuvres n'ont pas pris une ride, quelques centaines d'années après leur création.
