the scholarship of Biondo Flavio (1392–1463)

2016 || Paperback || Angelo Mazzocco e.a. || Universitaire Pers Leuven

Reappraisal of the pioneering humanist scholar Biondo Flavio.

During his lifetime the historian and antiquarian Biondo Flavio (1392- 1463) struggled to obtain recognition as a major contributor to the humanistic movement of the fifteenth century.

Op het balkon van de elektrische tram

Paperback || Leo Frijda || Stichting Amphora Books

Deze bundel literaire columns gaat over Kafka maar ook over schrijvers die met Kafka en zijn tijd verbonden zijn, Kisch, Babel en een jonge Joseph Roth, of zich over Kafka hebben geuit, Sebald, Benjamin, Seghers, Appelfeld en Celan. Steeds zijn het persoonlijke gekleurde associaties en ansporingen bij het lezen van en over Kafka.

Het gevoel van schuld dat Kafka beheerst, is het thema van enkele opstellen. De andere zijn meer anekdotisch en plaatsen Kafka in Praag, in de synagoge, in het café...
