Junior

Wat is de hardste slag die je als bokser kunt incasseren? Die ene slag die je niet ziet komen. In Junior vertelt Wouter Woussen het meeslepende verhaal van Jean-Pierre 'Junior' Bauwens. Als kind leerde hij boksen omdat hij dat moest van zijn moeder, maar hij had liever gevoetbald. Junior Bauwens was twaalf toen hij hoorde dat twee van zijn broers en twee van zijn zusjes autistisch waren en waarschijnlijk nooit voor zichzelf zouden kunnen zorgen. Hij werd een boksertje met een doel: hard zijn, beter worden, een titel winnen, geld verdienen voor hen. Toen hij drieëntwintig was, was hij harder en beter, maar hij had nog geen euro opzijgezet. En toen schoot een van zijn broertjes per ongeluk hun vader dood. Wouter Woussen (1978) is journalist bij De Standaard. Junior is zijn debuut.

Μεγάλες προσδοκίες: Το όνειρο της Ευρώπης

Με μια σαρωτική κίνηση από τις νορβηγικές πολικές εκτάσεις που λιώνουν μέχρι τις τραγικές ακτές της Λαμπεντούζα, και από τα μουσουλμανικά προάστια της Κοπεγχάγης στα κέντρα εξουσίας στη «νέα και πατριωτική» Μόσχα του Πούτιν, ο Μακ εξερευνά τα απομεινάρια των παλιών ονείρων της Ευρώπης (ειρήνη, ενότητα, δημοκρατία) και τους εφιάλτες του σήμερα.

'Mak is the history teacher everyone should have had' Financial Times From the author of the internationally acclaimed In Europe, a stunning history of our present, examining the first two decades of this most fragile and fraught new millennium. How did the great European dream turn sour? And where do we go from here? In this illuminating book, Geert Mak - one of Europe's best-loved commentators - charts the seismic events that have shaped people's lives over the past twenty years. He moves through the rocky expansion of the EU, the aftermath of 9/11 and terrorist attacks across Europe, the 2008 financial crash and the euro crisis, and on to the rise of right-wing populism and Brexit. Like no other, Mak blends history, politics and culture with the stories and experiences of the many Europeans he meets on his travels. He brings this continent to life, and asks: what role does Europe now play, and how might we face our fresh challenges together? 'A powerful, humane and serious mind' Guardian 'Mak is a truly cosmopolitan chronicler' Independent

Ground Sea

Imagine a world in which each individual has a fundamental right to be reborn. This idle dream haunts Hilde Van Gelder’s associative travelogue that takes Allan Sekula’s sequence Deep Six / Passer au bleu (1996/1998) as a touchstone for a dialogue with more recent artworks zooming in on the borderscape near the Channel Tunnel, such as those by Sylvain George and Bruno Serralongue. Combining ethnography, visual materials, political philosophy, cultural geography, and critical analysis, Ground Sea proceeds through an innovative methodological approach. Inspired by the meandering writings of W.G. Sebald, Javier Marías, and Roland Barthes, Van Gelder develops a style both interdisciplinary ...

Drömmen om Europa : Resor i det tjugoförsta århundradet

Det europeiska projektet skulle bygga på fred, välstånd och frihet. Men de senaste två decennierna har snarare dominerats av kriser och konflikter, snabba skiften som fört Europa närmare kollaps. Vad hände med det europeiska samarbetet och optimismen, hur kom det sig att nostalgin, rädslan och främlingsfientligheten tog över? Drömmen om Europa handlar om de omvälvande händelser som definierat Europa sedan millennieskiftet, fram till kriget i Ukraina: EU:s skakiga utvidgning, finans- och eurokrisen, flyktingkrisen, annekteringen av Krim, högerpopulismen i Polen och Ungern, brexit, corona. I en serie av sammanlänkande reportage, som varvar politik, historia och kulturhistoria, levandegör Geert Mak Europas arv och utmaningar i en unik nutidshistoria.

«E poi ci sono questi primi due decenni del XXI secolo, in cui la fabbrica della Storia è tornata a funzionare a pieno regime e in cui il nostro ordinato mondo europeo, fatto di pace e onesto benessere, sembra di nuovo capovolgersi». Il fragile sogno dell’Europa rischia di trasformarsi in un incubo? Dopo il successo di In Europa, dove il suo viaggio si fermava allo scadere del Novecento, Geert Mak prosegue il suo affascinante cammino attraverso i fatti che hanno scandito la storia del continente europeo con questo monumentale reportage dedicato ai primi due decenni del nuovo millennio. Mak ripercorre così gli eventi sismici e le grandi questioni che hanno segnato la vita degli europei:...
