Ernst Jünger De arbeider
heerschappij en gestalte, gevolgd door Minima en Maxima; aantekeningen bij De arbeider
Dit belangrijke boek van de beroemde schrijver Ernst Jünger verscheen in 1932. Twee ideologieën reikten toen naar de wereldmacht; het fascime en het bolsjewisme. Hitler staat vlak voor zijn grote doorbraak en Stalin voert dodelijke campagnes tegen zijn tegenstanders. Het lijkt een andere wereld te worden waarbij de arbeider in een steeds technischere wereld en een geplande maatschappij, een centrale rol inneemt. Ernst Jünger beschrijft in dit visionaire boek de toekomst en de heersende rol van...

Henny Korver Marion en Romy
moord en ontknoping; het complete verhaal
Op 8 juni 1997 verdwenen Marion van Buuren (18) en haar elf maanden oude baby Romy van de aardbodem. Het werd een van de geruchtmakendste mysteries aller tijden. De zeer gewelddadige Turk Okan O., ex-vriend van Marion en vader van Romy, werd verdachte, maar ontkende. Hij leed aan kanker en overleed in 1998, nog geen jaar na de verdwijning. Hij nam het geheim mee in zijn graf. In 2000 schreven de Telegraaf-verslaggevers Korver en Couwenhoven een boek over het mysterie, waarin de ouders van Marion...

Hans Jansen Why shouldn't Israel exist in the Middle East?
a synopsis
This book is a synopsis of the very extensive work Why shouldn't Israel exist in the Middle East? (published in 2015). The author argues that the Middle East conflict is the easiest problem in the world to explain, but also the most difficult to solve. "Briefly stated: Israel wants to exist, and to recognise the rights of the Palestinians to have their own state. The Palestinians and many other Arabs and Muslims, however, do not acknowledge that the Jewish State of Israel has a right to exist". Prof....

David Winner Brilliant Orange
"The Netherlands has been one of the world's most distinctive and sophisticated football cultures. From the birth of Total Football in the sixties, through two decades of World Cup near misses to the exiles who remade clubs like AC Milan, Barcelona, Arsenal and Chelsea in their own image, the Dutch have often been dazzlingly original and influential. The elements of their style (exquisite skills, adventurous attacking tactics, a unique blend of individual creativity and teamwork, weird patterns of...

Jack Beatty The lost history of 1914
"In The Lost History of 1914, Jack Beatty examines the First World War and its causes, testing against fresh evidence the long-dominant assumption that it was inevitable. 'Most books set in 1914 map the path leading to war,' Beatty writes, 'this one maps the multiple paths that led away from it.' Radically challenging the standard account of the war's outbreak, Beatty presents the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand not as the catalyst of a war that would have broken out in any event over some...

Ed Smith Luck
"For aspiring cricketer Ed Smith, luck was for other people. Like his childhood hero, Geoff Boycott, the tough, flinty Yorkshireman, the young Ed knew that the successful cricketer made his own luck by an application of will power, elimination of error, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. But when a freak accident at the crease at Lords prematurely ended Ed Smith's international cricketing career, it changed everything - and prompted him to look anew at his own life through the prism of luck....

Alicia Drake The beautiful fall
"In 1950s Paris, Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld were friends, the rising stars of the fashion world. But by the late sixties the city was invaded by a new mood of liberation and hedonism, and dominated by intrigue, infidelities, addiction and parties. Each designer created his own mesmerising world, so vivid and seductive that people were drawn to the power, charisma and fame, and it was to make them bitter rivals. The Beautiful Fall is a dazzling exposé of an era and the story of the two...

Frederick Taylor Exorcising Hitler
"Not since the end of the Roman Empire, almost fifteen hundred years earlier, is there a parallel, in Europe at least, to the fall of the German nation in 1945. Industrious and inventive, home over centuries to a disproportionate number of western civilization's greatest thinkers, writers, scientists and musicians, Germany had entered the twentieth century united, prosperous, and strong, admired by almost all humanity for its remarkable achievements. During the 1930s, embittered by one lost war and...

But his rapid rise had also made him enemies - many of them aristocratic officers in the army's High Command who resented him because he was middle-class, meritocratic and a Jew.In October 1894, the torn fragments of an unsigned memo containing military secrets were retrieved by a cleaning lady from the waste paper basket...

Edmund White City boy
"In the New Y ork of the 1970s, in the wake of Stonewall and in the midst of economic collapse, you might find the likes of Jasper Johns and William Burroughs at the next cocktail party, and you were as likely to be caught arguing Marx at the New York City Ballet as cruising for sex in the warehouses and parked trucks along the Hudson. This is the New York that Edmund White portrays in City Boy: a place of enormous intrigue and artistic tumult. Combining the no-holds-barred confession and yearning...
