Esclaves domestiques
L'esclavage domestique est un sujet tabou. Pourtant, à Paris, Inge Ghijs parvient à interviewer une jeune Togolaise qui a dû travailler comme une véritable esclave, qui a été enfermée et battue lorsqu'elle était domestique interne. " Jamais auparavant une rencontre, un récit n'avaient hanté mon esprit aussi longtemps et avec une telle force ", déclare la célèbre journaliste du Standaard.

Son enquête progresse péniblement mais, finalement, elle découvre avec étonnement et indignation des dizaines de personnes du tiers-monde, principalement des femmes, contraintes de vivre et de travai...
La música del siglo XX
Partiendo de Debussy y llegando a Steve Reich. O empezando por Ablinger y acabando por Zimmerman. O arrancando en el impresionismo y siguiendo hasta la electroacústica. El lector puede elegir su forma de lectura en este libro torrencial, quizá el más completo escrito hasta la fecha, y no solo en español, sobre el complicado y muy diverso escenario de la música contemporánea durante el siglo XX. Vertebrada sobre itinerarios estéticos, la presente guía no deja de ser una historia de la música del siglo XX. La gran diferencia respecto a los manuales de historia estriba en la importancia que en este libro cobra el compositor, que junto al sonido es el eje fundamental del relato. (De la Introducción del autor). Relato es la palabra clave para un libro llamado a convertirse en un clásico: una obra llena de erudición, exhaustiva y utilísima como manual de referencia. Pero impregnada a la vez de amor por la música, de buen pulso narrativo y de una notable capacidad crítica.

It also addresses how the vendors have been affected by the current economic recession, their residential segregation in neighborhoods far from the tourist zones, and the special cases of indigenous and of women vendors.
