Romeo and Juliet is the world's most famous drama of tragic young love. Defying the feud which divides their families, Romeo and Juliet enjoy the fleeting rapture of courtship, marriage and sexual fulfilment; but a combination of old animosities and new coincidences brings them to suicidal deaths.

But when Sir Henry Wotton visits, and seduces Dorian into the worship of youthful beauty with an intoxicating speech, Dorian makes a wish he will live to regret: that all the marks of age will now be reflected in the portrait, rather than on Dorian's own face. The stage is now set for a masterful tale about appearance, rea...

Europa lijdt al meer dan dertig jaar aan zelfoverschatting, stelt Rob de Wijk in dit urgente en hoogst actuele boek. Een pijnlijke realiteit, waarmee wij door de oorlog in Oekraïne hardhandig zijn geconfronteerd.

Als winnaar van de Koude Oorlog vond Europa zijn economische systeem en democratische en humanitaire waarden superieur aan die van andere landen. Eeuwen van machtspolitiek maakten daarom plaats voor een idealistisch buitenlandbeleid, waarbij defensie steeds verder werd uitgekleed. D...
