        Het jaar dat de muur viel

        De val van het communisme in het Oostblok

        by Jule Hinrichs

        November 2014 saw the quarter-century anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, one of the most poignant events in the past century. The inhabitants of Berlin broke the graffiti-covered concrete down with hammers or pickaxes and climbed over the wall. The historic milestone was followed on televisions around the world. After forty years of separation between communism and capitalism, the Iron Curtain opened on November 9th 1989. Which economic and political developments preceded this event? The arrival of Gorbachev in 1985 ushered in the Glasnost period. With this, hope for more liberty of action in Eastern Europe grew in satellite states such as Poland and Hungary. In 1989, the Communists in Hungary decided to hold free elections. In the summer of that year, the same happened in Poland. That same summer, the Hungarians began to remove the barbed wire at the Hungarian-Austrian border. Through this gap, East Germans fled en masse from Hungarian campsites to the West. It was the prelude to the dramatic decision of the GDP to open the border on November 9th 1989.

        Black and White - in the shadow of lights

        Im Schatten des Lichts

        by Jando / Christopher Groß

        Der Nebel umhüllte das kleine Fischerboot, breitete sich aus, kroch langsam aber sicher an das Ufer und verschluckte alles um sich herum. Kurt nahm einen kräftigen Schluck aus der Flasche des selbstgebrannten Schnaps und zündete mit zitteriger Hand eine Zigarette an. Hustend spuckte er den Rauch wieder aus, der sich mit dem Nebel vermischte. Er hatte diesen schrecklichen Husten schon sehr lange und dann, wenn er besonders stark hustete, kam auch ein wenig Blut zum Vorschein. Immer dann machte Kurt sich kurz Gedanken, verwarf sie aber auch schnell. Er hatte genug andere wichtige Dinge zu erledigen. Morgens früh holte er die Netze ein und brachte den Fang in den Fischereihafen, damit der frische Fisch verkauft werden konnte. Danach musste er sich von der Arbeit wieder mit Schnaps und Bier erholen, bevor es dann am Abend noch einmal rausging, um die Netze erneut zu leeren. 1979 schien ein verflixtes Jahr zu werden. Seit einigen Wochen war der sonst so ertragreiche Fischfang erheblich zurückgegangen. Kurt konnte sich das nicht erklären, war doch nichts Besonderes im Meer passiert.

        De wereld vanuit een luchtballon

        by Robert Verhoogt

        The invention of the hot air balloon in 1783 caused a sensation which would last for more than a century. The great aeronaut Jean-Pierre Blanchard and his fellow pioneers were followed by many others, whose lift-off attracted masses of people again and again. The subsequent “balloon mania” created a new element in cultural history: the third dimension, reflected in the literary and visual arts as well as in high culture and popular imagination. Scenes from a Balloon skilfully endeavours to reconstruct the sensation the balloon caused in cultural history of the late eighteenth and nineteenth century in Europe and the United States. After Thomas Baldwin produced the first image from a balloon in 1785, reproduction of remarkable prints, paintings, and photographs gained widespread popularity. Balloons inspired well-known photographers and artists, including Nadar, Spelterini, Goya, Manet, Daumier, and Redon, but they also led to a wealth of arts & crafts and popular souvenirs. The adventures of Blanchard, Nadar and other balloonists were a source of inspiration for popular writers like Edgar Allan Poe, Jules Verne, and Mark Twain.

        Haatspraak

        Antisemitisme - een 21e eeuwse geschiedenis

        by Remco Ensel

        Where does freedom of speech end and do insults, threats, and hate speech begin? Why does a rapper sing that more Muslims than Jews were killed during the Holocaust? This book addresses the 21st century wave of anti-Semitic incidents in the streets and on the internet, the distortions of historic commemoration in our country and the problems with education about the Holocaust. It is an incisive analysis of a multicultural drama in which anti-Jewish statements play a crucial role. By going back in time, Remco Ensel puts the new anti-Semitism in the context of post-war history of protest and provocation. From the student protests in the sixties to the Second Intifada, from ‘zionazi’ to ‘Adolf Sharon’, the Rushdie affair to Mohammed B. The book is based on extensive archival research in Morocco and the Netherlands and on conversations with journalists and politicians, such as Bertus Hendriks, Job Cohen, Elatik Fatima Ahmed Marcouch, Ronny Naftaniel and many others.

        Seks, drugs en rock en roll in de gouden eeuw

        by Benjamin Roberts

        In Seks, Drugs en Rock 'n' Roll in de Gouden Eeuw (‘Sex, Drugs, and Rock ‘n’ Roll in the Golden Age’), historian Benjamin B. Roberts paints a fascinating portrait of the lives of young men int he first half of the seventeenth century. He describes the riotous behaviour of prominent figures such as Rembrandt – born in 1606 – and brings the values of his rebellious peers to life. Roberts convincingly demonstrates that young men rebelled then as they do now, and moved against previous generations. They grew out their hair, wore outrageous clothes, smoked, drank too much, got into fights with the city guards, cheated, and sang bawdy songs. This accessibly written book paints a vivid portrait of youth culture in the Golden Age; a time when the advent of printing allowed for a rapid spread of a culture of permissiveness. The spread of liberal ideas, together with the rising incomes, created a new generation of ‘bad boys’. Using hilarious examples, Roberts shows that deviant behaviour is timeless.

      • The Chagall Atlas

        by NIENKE DENEKAMP

        The Chagall Atlas follows Jewish artist Marc Chagall, whose personal and artistic life collided with world history more than once. Born in the 19th Century in anti-Semitist Czarist Russia, Chagall travelled to 20th Century Paris, where Cubism and Fauvism were about to change art forever. During World War I, he was ‘stuck’ in his hometown Vitebsk, right at the Eastern Front of a war that seamlessly merged into the Russian Revolution. Chagall could literally see the Revolution unfold from the window of his office in St. Petersburg. Chagall spent the twenties and thirties in Berlin and Paris, trying not to think about World War II that loomed over Europe. His spectacular escape from Vichy France to the US, where Chagall and his family spent the war along with other exiled artists, is a fantastic story in its own right. After the War, Chagall settled in the South of France, where he lived next door to Picasso and Matisse. But it wasn’t until later in life, against the backdrop of the Cold War and the foundation of the State of Israel, that he fully came into his own as an artist.

        Nadir and Zenith in the World of Escher

        by Wouter van Reek

        Nadir and Zenith enter a new world where nothing is what it seems. High and low, inside and outside, big and small... Can they believe their eyes? Who is looking at whom? And who is the creator of this adventure-filled universe? Just when they think they have found the way out, they see the room where they came from... Graphic artist Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972) became world famous for his weird and wonderful pictures. He occupied a special place somewhere between art and science. Although he claimed not to know anything about mathematics, he used mathematical ideas to create his own world. He took this to the extreme with the lithograph Print Gallery. It’s so cleverly composed that you don’t know if you’re looking at it or inside it... Wouter van Reek has cleverly incorporated this concept in the intriguing picture book Nadir and Zenith in the World of Escher.
