    Struggle for the Scheldt 1944

    0

    The battle of the Scheldt is often seen as a side-show, an unglamorous campaign of months of hard fighting. This image needs to change. The Scheldt was at the heart of the German strategy to keep the Allies at bay, and its control was essential for the Allied effort to push into Germany. In this book the battle is analysed from all sides (including the civilians!) and from all perspectives – land, air and sea. It highlights often forgotten but important efforts, like the Allied anti-aircraft defense around Antwerp.

  • Tales of Terror and Mystery

    Tales of Terror and Mystery

    0

    Tales of Terror and Mystery is a volume collecting 12 short stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle, first published in 1922 by John Murray. The collection is divided in two parts : Tales of Terror with horror stories, and Tales of Mystery with stories with strange schemes. This volume presents some of Conan Doyle s unduly neglected masterworks. Each begins in a quietly factual way, making all the more dramatic the crescendo of fear and puzzlement that ensues as each new circumstance is revealed. Even without his supremely logical brain child, Sherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle shows that his tales are unbeatable for thrills and excitement.

  • Tears from Brabant

    Tears from Brabant

    0

    This is a novel with many themes. It is about Brabant, a land that is presently half in the Netherlands and the other half in Belgium. It is also the story of a little Brabanter boy, born the year Adolf Hitler came to power. The boy wants a good life and that is not so easy because the Catholic Brabanters are kept down by the Calvinist Hollanders. Many other modern themes come by, such as the Second World War, the emancipation (of women but also of the Catholics), the pill and its effects, secularization, wealth. Our young hero goes to Canada where he can make his dream career come true. This is also a singular love story, although it all seems to end in disaster. He then returns to the Netherlands, divorced, impoverished, disillusioned to find a new love, then losing it again and finally turning to a new form of happiness in a world that has changed beyond recognition. For those not so familiar with Dutch history the book starts with a two page short introduction to the 1700 years of Brabant history.

    “Fortunately we can not look in the future and we may never try it either according to Our God, but sometimes He may let us feel what it would look like if we follow our human desires or wisdom, which could never protect us from any not predictable events, which would be always painful and contrary to our expectations, but for ever God has the last Word. Amen”
