The New Georgics
The human condition in rural, provincial locations is once again gaining status as a subject of European ‘high fiction’, after several decades in which it was dismissed on aesthetic and ideological grounds. This volume is one of the first attempts to investigate perspectives on local cultures, values and languages both systematically and in a European context. It does so by examining the works of a variety of authors, including Hugo Claus, Llamazares, Bergounioux and Millet, Buffalino and Consolo, and also several Soviet authors, who paint a grim picture of a collectivized – and thus ossified – rurality. How do these themes relate to the ongoing trend of globalization? How do these w...
Dunkirk
"Using new material from British, French, Belgian, German, Russian and Czechoslovakian archives, and interviews with the last surviving witnesses of the Dunkirk campaign, Hugh Sebag-Montefiore can at last tell the true story of how the British Army was evacuated from Dunkirk and from France in 1940."--BOOK JACKET.

Insight Guides: Explore Bruges
Bruges is one of Europe's most beautifully preserved medieval towns; its cobbled streets are lined with gabled alms houses and Gothic churches, their distinctive forms reflected in the glassy waters of the canals that flow through the town.

A Literary History of the Low Countries
An authoritative volume that is the first literary history of the Netherlands and Flanders in English since the 1970s
Life Itself
Life Itself is the first book-length study in English of the great Flemish writer Louis Paul Boon. A.M.A. van den Oever begins by questioning the paradox between Boon's international reputation as a significant innovator of the novel, and the peculiarly reductive biographical interpretations regularly uttered by some of his fellow countrymen and contemporaries. She looks for answers in Boon's misinterpreted "primitive" Flemish and analyzes the so-called refined pseudo-primitive style within both the grotesque tradition (Kafka, van Ostaijen, Gogol) and the skeptical, radical tradition of Nietzsche. In addition, she offers fresh insight into Boon's character Boontje, seen by many as a diminutive for the writer himself, outlining the sublime and slightly sinister relation of this quasi-comical character to its mighty creator.
Composing Dissent
The 1960s saw the emergence in the Netherlands of a generation of avant-garde musicians with a pronounced commitment to social and political engagement. This book presents the Dutch experience as an exemplary case study in the complex and conflictual encounter of the musical avant-garde with the decade's currents of social change.

Weverbergh '30-'70
Julien Weverbergh behoort met Angèle Manteau, Louis Paul Boon, Hugo Claus en Paul de Wispelaere tot degenen die de toon aangaven in het Vlaams literaire leven van de tweede helft van de vorige eeuw. Nu hij zich enigszins terzijde van de discoursen en cercles is gaan opstellen, vindt hij het tijd geworden de balans op te maken. Hij schrijft over zijn Antwerpse jeugd, opgroeiend in een armetierig milieu met volkse ouders, die ondanks hun bescheiden afkomst verwoede lezers waren. En over zijn wording als lezer, zijn ontdekking van de literatuur en zijn entree, aanvankelijk als alomtegenwoordig en brutaal randfiguur, in de Vlaamse letteren. Halverwege de jaren zestig ontpopte hij zich onder de ...
