Nicolaas van Wijk (1880-1941)
Nicolaas van Wijk (1880-1941) was the founder of Slavic studies in the Netherlands and one of the greatest Slavists in general. This book describes for the first time how a scholar of the Dutch language, whose etymological dictionary of the Dutch language is still considered the best of its kind, was appointed in 1913 to the newly created Chair in Slavic languages at Leiden University and built up a tremendous reputation for himself in Eastern Europe. Van Wijk’s relations with his famous teacher, the linguist C.C. Uhlenbeck, are followed attentively, as is his postgraduate apprenticeship in Leipzig (1902-1903), where he followed August Leskien’s lectures in Slavic studies. Attention is a...
Sofia Express
Sofia Express onthult de literaire charme van een enigszins verborgen metropool op de Balkan. De reuk van detectives, Oriënt-Express en spionage-intriges is hier nooit ver weg. De stad is een befaamde treinhalte op de route naar Istanbul en A. den Doolaard waant zich er in Chicago. Niet vreemd dus dat Eric Ambler enkele thrillers situeert in Sofia. Voor de Joodse Angelika Schrobsdorff biedt de stad juist een veilig onderkomen tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Als het stadscentrum tijdens de Koude Oorlog een stalinistische make-over krijgt, bezoekt daarna vrijwel niemand de stad meer. Toch schrijft Lucebert in 1955 een reeks reisgedichten over Bulgarije en spelen romans van Cees Nooteboom en Dimitri Verhulst in Sofia. Het is ook de stad van de dissidente schrijver Georgi Markov, slachtoffer van de beruchte paraplumoord in Londen.

Valerii Pereleshin
Olga Bakich's biography of Valerii Pereleshin (19131992) follows the turbulent life and exquisite poetry of one of the most remarkable Russian émigrés of the twentieth century. Born in Irkutsk, Pereleshin lived for thirty years in China and for almost forty years in Brazil. Multilingual, he wrote poetry in Russian and in Portuguese and translated Chinese and Brazilian poetry into Russian and Russian and Chinese poetry into Portuguese. For many years he struggled to accept and express his own identity as a gay man within a frequently homophobic émigré community. His poems addressed his three homelands, his religious struggles, and his loves. InValerii Pereleshin: The Life of a Silkworm, Bakich delves deep into Pereleshin's poems and letters to tell the rich life story of this underappreciated writer.
