科伯德和金：来自东安格利亚家庭的生活故事

科伯德家族扎根于东安格利亚，通常与酿酒业和伊普斯维奇镇足球俱乐部联系在一起。然而，这只是故事的一小部分。几个世纪以来，科波德夫妇和他们的亲属几乎在所有可以想象的领域都做出了努力。这本插图丰富的书讲述了32位家族中最有趣、最多彩的人物的生活，涉及八大主题：从工业和农业到信仰，从艺术到帝国，从公共服务到科学研究，从体育到兵役。并非所有人都有科伯德的名字，但都与这个家庭有关。
在科博尔德家族历史信托基金的档案中，这本书不仅揭示了该家族兴趣的非凡广度，还揭示了其地理范围。它不仅收集了萨福克和东安格利亚的生活故事，还探索了世界五大洲和偏远地区。在一本书的书页中，几乎不可能有更多不同的人物组合，每一本传记都是以自己的历史画布为背景的。总之，它们几乎涵盖了人类状况的每一个方面——一些讲述了战胜逆境的胜利，一些令人心碎的悲剧，另一些则完全不可能。
Cobbold and Kin: Life Stories from an East Anglian Family
The Cobbold family, its roots firmly planted in East Anglia, is most commonly associated with the brewing industry and with Ipswich Town Football Club. This, however, is only a small part of the story. Over the centuries, the Cobbolds and their kin have turned their hand to almost every imaginable field of endeavour. This richly-illustrated book relates the lives of thirty-two of the family’s most interesting and colourful characters across eight broad subjects: from industry and agriculture to faith, from the arts to empire, from public service to scientific enquiry, and from sport to military service. Not all bear the name Cobbold but all are related to the family.
Drawingon the archive of the Cobbold Family History Trust, the book reveals not only the extraordinary breadth of the family’s interests but also its geographical reach. It is not merely a collection of life stories from Suffolk and East Anglia but ventures to five continents and remote regions of the world. Seldom could a more diverse cast of characters have been assembled in the pages of one book and each biography is set against its own historical canvas. Together, they encompass almost every aspect of the human condition – some tell of triumph over adversity, some are heartbreakingly tragic, others downright improbable.
