  • Geschrift eener bejaarde vrouwby André Hanou

    Amsterdam University Press 2007; US$ 44.25

    Hoe voed je een jong meisje op? Welke waarden geef je het mee, welke ervaringen wil je haar laten meemaken? Daarover schrijven onze bekende Elisabeth Wolff en Agatha Deken, in hun nu voor het eerst sinds 1802 heruitgegeven, laatste grote werk: het Geschrift eener bejaarde vrouw. Zij laten zien hoe een bejaarde vrouw terugkijkt op haar leven. De vrouw tekent op welke waarden zij als opgroeiend meisje heeft leren kennen. Hoe haar opvoeding verliep. Hoe zij geconfronteerd werd met de realiteit van het leven: natuur, dood, armoede, standsverschillen, mannen, cultuur. Hoe zij leerde een levensovertuiging op te bouwen. In de terugblik van deze vrouw wordt zichtbaar hoe een wijs ouderlijk beleid kan leiden tot zelfontplooiing, verlicht christendom,... more...

  • The Man Who Left Too Soonby Barry Forshaw

    John Blake 2011; US$ 9.99

    The stranger-than-fiction life story of the author of  The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo    His three novels are violent, terrifying, brilliantly written, and have sold millions of copies around the world, but Stieg Larrson was not able to witness their international success. Since he died in 2004 the author of the Millennium trilogy has received international fame with dizzying speed, but when one looks a little deeper at the man behind these phenomenal novels, it is clear that his life would be remembered as truly extraordinary even had his trilogy never been published.

  • The Making of the New Negroby Anna Pochmara

    Amsterdam University Press 2011; US$ 39.95

    The Making of the New Negro examines black masculinity in the period of the New Negro/Harlem Renaissance, which for many decades did not attract a lot of scholarly attention, until, in the 1990s, many scholars discovered how complex, significant, and fascinating it was. Using African American published texts, American archives and unpublished writings, and contemporaneous European discourses, this book focuses both on the canonical figures of the New Negro Movement and African American culture, such as W.E.B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, Alain Locke, and Richard Wright, and on writers who have not received as much scholarly attention despite their significance for the movement, such as Wallace Thurman. Its perspective combines gender, sexuality,... more...

    Amsterdam University Press 2011; US$ 57.00

    BenBella Books, Inc. 2011; US$ 14.95

    Lisbeth Salander, heroine of Stieg Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and its sequels, is one of the most compelling, complex characters of our time. Is she an avenging angel? A dangerous outlaw? What makes Salander tick, and why is our response to her—and to Larsson’s Millennium trilogy—so strong? In The Psychology of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo , 19 psychologists and psychiatrists attempt to do what even expert investigator Mikael Blomkvist could not: understand Lisbeth Salander. • What does Lisbeth’s infamous dragon tattoo really say about her? • Why is Lisbeth so drawn to Mikael, and what would they both need to do to make a relationship work? • How do we explain men like Martin... more...
