The Best of Sherlock Holmes
Few fictional characters have proved as popular as Sherlock Holmes. By retelling Arthur Conan Doyle's beloved stories in film adaptations, each generation re-creates Baker Street's most famous detective in its own image. To date, Holmes has been played on screen by Basil Rathbone, Jeremy Brett, Benedict Cumberbatch, Robert Downey, Jr., and many others. This book contains the twelve stories identified by Conan Doyle himself as being the quintessential Holmes adventures.
This is Europe
The European Union is one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken. Why is Europe so important, and at the same time, why is no one really interested in it? Dutch writer Mark Schalekamp set out to find answers to these and other questions and travelled to all 28 of the European Union's member states to interview eight people in each capital city: a doctor, a police officer, a hairdresser, an entrepreneur, an artist, an immigrant, a sex worker and a local celebrity. What is Europe? Who feels like a European? What do people think of their own country and its relationship with Europe? How do we differ from one another, what are the similarities, and what makes us unique? Schalekamp's colourful, humorous account of his journey provides an open view of Europe seen not from a political point of view, but through the eyes of an inquisitive European. It is the story of the people's Europe.

Dit is Europa
De Europese Unie is één van onze meest ambitieuze projecten ooit. Maar wat vinden de Europeanen er zelf van? Wat vinden ze van elkaar? Hoe zien ze zichzelf? En wat zijn de grootste verschillen, overeenkomsten en eigenaardigheden? Om deze vragen te beantwoorden reisde Mark Schalekamp naar alle 28 landen van de EU en interviewde in elke hoofdstad 8 inwoners: een dokter, een politieagent, een kapper, een ondernemer, een kunstenaar, een immigrant, een sekswerker en een lokale beroemdheid. Dit is Europa is het kleurrijke en humorvolle verslag van Project Youropeans, Schalekamps sociaal-journalistieke zoektocht naar de aard van het Europese beest. Niet vanuit politiek standpunt, maar met de open blik van een nieuwsgierige Europeaan. Eurotainment van de bovenste plank

The Collected Works of Gerard Manley Hopkins
Gerard Manley Hopkins was not only one of the most gifted Victorian poets, he was a compelling diarist who used his journals for everything from daily to-do lists to the most intimate spiritual self-assessments. This volume represents Hopkins as a man of extremes, both emotionally and psychologically. There are mundane memoranda about neckties to purchase or letters to write, but also exacting revisions of poems. There are entries of quiet rapture, his attentioncaught by the beauty of the natural world. Paintings, sculptures, and works of literature are stringently assessed, his aesthetic principles freely exercised. There are also nightmares relived;undergraduate 'sins' unsparingly recorded; 'signs' of heavenly mercy carefully noted. This is the first unexpurgated edition of all extant diaries. The entries extend from September 1863, during his second term at Oxford, until February 1875, while studying theology as a Jesuit in his beloved Wales, and from February 1884 until July 1885, while Hopkins was living at a 'third remove' in Dublin.
Hopkins Variations
"Hopkins Variations celebrates this fame with essays from women and men of thirteen countries on four continents: Australia, Canada, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Scotland, and the United States. The fifty-five writers are highly diverse: poets, actors, professors of literature, graduate students, translators, theologians, an artist, a philosopher, a novelist, and a composer."--BOOK JACKET.
