Longlisted for the 2023 DUBLIN Literary Award "[Grand Hotel Europa] calls to mind Nabokov, Tom Wolfe, Baudrillard, Umberto Eco, Wes Anderson . . . [a novel of] incorrigible high spirits." —Rand Richards Cooper, The New York Times Book Review A sweeping, atmospheric novel about European identity, centered on a hotel that encapsulates the continent's manifold contradictions. The love of my life lives in my past. Despite the alliteration it’s a terrible line to have to write. I don’t want to come to the conclusion, just as the hotel I’m staying in and the continent it is named after, that the best times are behind me and that I’ve little more to expect of the future than living off my past. A writer takes up residence in the stately but decaying Grand Hotel Europa in order to contemplate where things went wrong with Clio—an art historian and the love of his life. His recollections take him back to when they first met in Genoa, his wanton visits to her in Venice, and their dulcet trips to Malta, Palmaria, Portovenere, and the Cinque Terre in their thrilling search for the last painting made by Caravaggio. Meanwhile, he becomes fascinated by the mysteries of the Grand Hotel Europa and the memorably eccentric characters who inhabit it, all of whom seem to hail from a halcyon era. All the while, globalization is laying claim to even this place, where a sense of lost glory hangs sulkily in the air. Grand Hotel Europa is Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer’s masterly novel of the old continent, where there's so much history that there hardly seems space left for a future. Cinematic, lyrical, and brimming with humor, this is a novel about the European condition, which like the staff and residents of the Grand Hotel Europa may have already seen its best days.

Uit een opiniepeiling gehouden in opdracht van het Amerikaanse Newsweek blijkt dat bijna de helft van de Amerikaanse bevolking, of ze nu christen zijn of niet, gelooft dat de wereld eindigt met een allesbeslissende slag tussen Christus en de Antichrist in Armageddon. De huidige aardbevingen overstromingen en wervelstormen, 'nieuwe' ziektes als aids en het Ebola-virus als mede de gewelddadige gebeurtenissen in de samenleving vormen een voorbode voor het komende einde, aldus de 'eindtijdgelovigen' in dezelfde opiniepeiling. In Maar nog is het einde niet wordt, onder redactie van dr Durk Huite Hak en dr Lammert Gosse Jansma, door een keur van deskundige auteurs aandacht besteedt aan eindtijdbewegingen. Allereerst een historisch gedeelte met aandacht voor het jaar 1033 en 1533, en een eigentijds gedeelte waarin aandacht wordt besteed aan eindtijdbewegingen van deze eeuw. Aan de orde komen verder zaken als het eindtijdenken in de gevestigde millennistische kerkgenootschappen: Getuigen van Jehova en De Kerk van Jezus Christus van de Heiligen der Laatste Dagen, het eindtijddenken in de traditionele christelijk kerken, in het Jodendom, Boeddhisme, Hindoeïsme en Islam en ten slotte het geseculariseerd millennium (ufologie, dierenbestrijders, survivalists, aum, maria devi, etc).

The acclaimed author of Jesus' Son and Already Dead returns with a beautiful, haunting, and darkly comic novel. The Name of the World is a mesmerizing portrait of a professor at a Midwestern university who has been patient in his grief after an accident takes the lives of his wife and child and has permitted that grief to enlarge him. Michael Reed is living a posthumous life. In spite of outward appearances -- he holds a respectable university teaching position; he is an articulate and attractive addition to local social life -- he's a dead man walking. Nothing can touch Reed, nothing can move him, although he observes with a mordant clarity the lives whirling vigorously around him. Of his recent bereavement, nearly four years earlier, he observes, "I'm speaking as I'd speak of a change in the earth's climate, or the recent war." Facing the unwelcome end of his temporary stint at the university, Reed finds himself forced "to act like somebody who cares what happens to him. " Tentatively he begins to let himself make contact with a host of characters in this small academic town, souls who seem to have in common a tentativeness of their own. In this atmosphere characterized, as he says, "by cynicism, occasional brilliance, and small, polite terror," he manages, against all his expectations, to find people to light his way through his private labyrinth. Elegant and incisively observed, The Name of the World is Johnson at his best: poignant yet unsentimental, replete with the visionary imaginative detail for which his work is known. Here is a tour de force by one of the most astonishing writers at work today.

‘The story of oncology is not only fascinating but also contains many accounts of dead ends, chance discoveries, illusions, mistakes and disappointments alongside the few successes.’These words are taken from the introduction to this book. The author, professor emeritus of Medical Oncology, reviews all aspects of the problem of cancer from a historical perspective, from the oldest existing records to the latest scientific and medical advances. It will interest the many people engaged in the treatment of cancer to read how the current therapeutic methods came about, and the book may also provide inspiration for cancer researchers, and for all those directly or indirectly involved with cancer. The layman looking for background information on a particular treatment may find it useful too. The various chapters can be read independently. A glossary and a few explanatory diagrams augment the text.This book grew out of an invitation the author received to lecture on the history of oncology. During his background reading, he discovered that there was no single volume dealing with the entire history of the subject. Fortunately, however, a great deal of information could be found here and there in the literature. As he read, he was struck by the fascinating stories behind many discoveries, and felt impelled to put them together in a single comprehensive account. The results of his labors are presented in this remarkable volume.The author, Prof. D.J.Th. (Theo) Wagener, was head of the department of Medical Oncology at the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre in the Netherlands from 1982 to 2001, chairman of the Educational Committee of the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO), a member of the Educational Committee of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and a member of various international scientific working groups, mainly of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC).

After eleven weeks of bombing in the spring of 1999, the United States and NATO ultimately won the war in Kosovo. Serbian troops were forced to withdraw, enabling an international military and political presence to take charge in the region. But was this war inevitable or was it the product of failed western diplomacy prior to the conflict? And once it became necessary to use force, did NATO adopt a sound strategy to achieve its aims of stabilizing Kosovo? In this first in-depth study of the Kosovo crisis, Ivo Daalder and Michael O'Hanlon answer these and other questions about the causes, conduct, and consequences of the war. Based on interviews with many of the key participants, they conclude that notwithstanding important diplomatic mistakes before the conflict, it would have been difficult to avoid the Kosovo war. That being the case, U.S. and NATO conduct of the war left much to be desired. For more than four weeks, the Serbs succeeded where NATO failed, forcefully changing Kosovo's ethnic balance by forcing 1.5 million Albanians from their home and more than 800,000 from the country. Had they chosen to massacre more of their victims, NATO would have been powerless to stop them. In the end, NATO won the war by increasing the scope and intensity of bombing, making serious plans for a ground invasion, and moving diplomacy into full gear in order to convince Belgrade that this was a war Serbia would never win. The Kosovo crisis is a cautionary tale for those who believe force can be used easily and in limited increments to stop genocide, mass killing, and the forceful expulsion of entire populations. Daalder and O'Hanlon conclude that the crisis holds important diplomatic and military lessons that must be learned so that others in the future might avoid the mistakes that were made in this case.

"Zahra handles this immensely complicated and multidimensional history with remarkable clarity and feeling." —Robert Levgold, Foreign Affairs Between 1846 and 1940, more than 50 million Europeans moved to the Americas in one of the largest migrations of human history, emptying out villages and irrevocably changing both their new homes and the ones they left behind. With a keen historical perspective on the most consequential social phenomenon of the twentieth century, Tara Zahra shows how the policies that gave shape to this migration provided the precedent for future events such as the Holocaust, the closing of the Iron Curtain, and the tragedies of ethnic cleansing. In the epilogue, she places the current refugee crisis within the longer history of migration.

Differing interpretations of the history of the United Nations on the one hand conceive of it as an instrument to promote colonial interests while on the other emphasize its influence in facilitating self-determination for dependent territories. The authors in this book explore this dynamic in order to expand our understanding of both the achievements and the limits of international support for the independence of colonized peoples. This book will prove foundational for scholars and students of modern history, international history, and postcolonial history.

De Ridderlijke Orde van het Heilig Graf van Jeruzalem is een pauselijke orde, waarvan de oorsprong teruggaat tot de Eerste Kruistocht van 1099. Erkenning van deze orde, toen bestaande uit een groep reguliere kanunniken, volgde in 1114 door de Latijnse patriarch van Jeruzalem en in 1122 door de paus van Rome. De paus stelde de Orde in 1496 onder zijn protectie en organiseerde en formaliseerde haar in 1847. Sindsdien richt de Orde van het Heilig Graf zich in het bijzonder op de ondersteuning van de christenen in het Heilig Land en de katholieke instellingen aldaar. Wereldwijd zijn er zo’n 35.000 ridders en edelvrouwen van het Heilig Graf van Jeruzalem, verdeeld over ruim zestig landscommanderijen. De Landscommanderije Nederland is in 1954 opgericht en telt thans 340 Ordeleden, zowel mannen als vrouwen en zowel leken als priesters. De Nederlandse landscommanderije wordt geleid door een landscommandeur (sinds 2021 dr. Jan Krapels), bijgestaan door een grootprior (sinds 2019 mgr. drs. Harrie Smeets, de bisschop van Roermond) en een bestuur (de kapittelraad). Ter gelegenheid van het afscheid van de Nederlandse landscommandeur Michael Brenninkmeijer op 19 juni 2021 verschijnt dit boek Nederlandse ridders en edelvrouwen Getuigen van het Lege Graf. In dit boek – een bundel artikelen waaraan maar liefst dertien deskundige auteurs hebben meegewerkt – worden allerlei interessante themata uitgebreid behandeld: de Ordegeschiedenis, de drie pijlers van de Orde, haar structuur en organisatie enzovoort, gelardeerd met diverse boeiende gesprekken met betrokkenen. Nederlandse ridders en edelvrouwen Getuigen van het Lege Graf is een must have voor iedereen die geïnteresseerd is in orden, ordengeschiedenis, het Latijns Patriarchaat van Jeruzalem, het christendom en het katholicisme, in het bijzonder in Palestina, het Heilig Land.
