Alles over Historia Hel aan het oostfront
In 1943 is het beeld aan het Oostfront veranderd. In het begin van het offensief denderden de Duitse tanks zonder veel weerstand over de steppen van de Sovjet-Unie, maar nu delen de Slavische ‘Untermenschen’ de lakens uit en maken ze hun uitgestrekte land tot een hel voor Hitlers troepen. Een kleine 100.000 soldaten worden in het begin van het jaar gevangengenomen bij Stalingrad, en in juni deelt het Rode Leger een flinke dreun uit in de grootste tankslag aller tijden. Ook veel buitenlanders in Duitse...

Walter Verniers Van den vos Reynaerde
Van den vos Reynaerde, een beroemd verhaal: De hertaling van het oorspronkelijke heldenverhaal uit de dertiende eeuw werd geschreven door Walter Verniers. Het verhaal is halverwege de dertiende eeuw in Oost-Vlaanderen gemaakt door een zekere Willem. Heldenverhalen waren toen 'in'. Ze waren overigens niet bedoeld om gelezen te worden. De verhalen werden uit het hoofd geleerden dan voorgedragen. Dat verklaart ook waarom ze heel ritmisch zijn en op rijm staan. Ritme en rijm maken dit soort teksten...

Frans Kellendonk | Rick Honings | Jaap Goedegebuure Mystiek lichaam
Toegelicht door Rick Honings en Jaap Goedegebuure
Frans Kellendonks roman Mystiek lichaam (1986) geldt als een hoogtepunt in onze naoorlogse literatuur. Het boek schittert door zijn spitse, ironische stijl en biedt een pittige mix van komedie, satire en maatschappijkritiek. In een tijd dat het CDA zich sterk maakte voor het gezin als ‘hoeksteen van de samenleving’, liet Kellendonk zien wat er aan het einde van de twintigste eeuw nog van dat ideaal rest: vader Gijselhart is een gevoelloze en treiterzieke vrek, dochter Magda alias ‘Prul’ een Bewust...

G. K. Chesterton Eugenics and Other Evils
"The Frenchman works until he can play. The American works until he can’t play; and then thanks the devil, his master, that he is donkey enough to die in harness. But the Englishman, as he has since become, works until he can pretend that he never worked at all." ‘Eugenics and Other Evils’ (1922) is a magnificent takedown of the entire basis of eugenic thought – the idea that controlled breeding will improve the human population. But it is about far more than eugenics: it is about how evil succeeds...

Katherine Mansfield In a German Pension
Recovering from a miscarriage and a bad marriage, author Katherine Mansfield, barely 21, wrote these excellent short stories around the time she was staying in a spa town in Germany. With wry humour, she depicts a German upper middle class defined by their rude habits, but she also touches upon the hard life of servants and the oppression of women. The latter distinguishes her writing from that of Jane Austen, but the way in which Mansfield mocks the stiff-upper-lipped ladies and Barons of these...

Katherine Mansfield Prelude
"There was not an inch of room for Lottie and Kezia in the buggy. When Pat swung them on top of the luggage they wobbled; the grandmother‘s lap was full and Linda Burnell could not possibly have held a lump of a child on hers for any distance." The seemingly perfect Burnell family is moving from one house to another, and on the surface, everything appears idyllic. But as the story develops, the tension grows, threating to explode and expose their true nature. `Prelude‘ (1922) is evidence of Katherine...

Mary Shelley Mathilda

Oscar Wilde De Profundis
"But it is a very unimaginative nature that only cares for people on their pedestals. A pedestal may be a very unreal thing. A pillory is a terrific reality." Thus wrote Oscar Wilde in a farewell letter to his lover Lord Alfred Douglas (Bosie) in 1897 while serving a two-year sentence for "gross indecency with other male persons". In it, he sorts out his life and his love for Bosie, who, he feels, abandoned him to his fate. It is an intensely personal letter that follows the stages of grief and interlaces...
