Rare jongens, die Engelsen. De zee die ons scheidt is niet eens zo breed, maar tussen de zandstranden hier en de krijtrotsen aan de overkant bestaat een wereld van verschil. Hoewel? Nederland en Groot-Brittannië zijn al eeuwenlang onlosmakelijk met elkaar verbonden, dan weer als vrienden, dan weer als vijanden. We voerden oorlog met elkaar, probeerden elkaar te bekeren, leenden elkaars taal en imiteren elkaar nog altijd.0Nu Brexit een feit is, maakt de legendarische oud-correspondent Peter Brusse de balans op. De Britten hebben zich natuurlijk nooit helemaal thuis gevoeld in de Europese Unie. Ooit hadden ze hun wereldrijk en nu willen ze hun vrijheid terug. Zoals al vaker in het verleden wenden zij zich af van het continent - maar afscheid van Europa is onmogelijk, en Nederland wil zijn ?beste maatje? zeker niet kwijt.0Al in de donkere middeleeuwen werd een Fries meisje koningin van Engeland. De Engelse monnik Bonifatius werd bij Dokkum vermoord. Erasmus schreef zijn meesterwerk in Londen, stadhouder Willem III veroverde Engeland en richtte de Bank of England op. In de Gouden Eeuw voeren we als rivalen over de wereldzeeën. Een Britse ingenieur legde de basis voor de Twentse textielindustrie, al tijdens de Boerenoorlog was er fake news en in de Tweede Wereldoorlog hielden de Britten stand en kwamen ons te hulp.0'Ach, Engeland' is een originele, onderhoudende, caleidoscopische geschiedenis, een liefdesverklaring aan onze eigenwijze overbuur, geschreven door een van zijn grootste kenners. Want wij Nederlanders kunnen niet zonder de Engelsen - en zij niet zonder ons.

Nederland en Groot-Brittannië zijn al eeuwenlang onlosmakelijk met elkaar verbonden, dan weer als vrienden, dan weer als vijanden. Aan de vooravond van de Brexit maakt oud-correspondent Peter Brusse de balans op. De Britten nemen dan wel afscheid van Europa, maar in het geval van Nederland is dat eigenlijk onmogelijk.

The Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) is one of the most intriguing conflicts of modern history. It has been labeled many things: the first media war, a precursor of the First and Second World Wars, the originator of apartheid. The difference in status and resources between the superpower Great Britain and two insignificant Boer republics in southern Africa was enormous. But, against all expectation, it took the British every effort and a huge sum of money to win the war, not least by unleashing a campaign of systematic terror against the civilian population. In The Boer War, winner of the Netherland's 2013 Libris History Prize and shortlisted for the 2013 AKO Literature Prize, the author brings a completely new perspective to this chapter of South African history, critically examining the involvement of the Netherlands in the war. Furthermore, unlike other accounts, Martin Bossenbroek explores the war primarily through the experiences of three men uniquely active during the bloody conflict. They are Willem Leyds, the Dutch lawyer who was to become South African Republic state secretary and eventual European envoy; Winston Churchill, then a British war reporter; and Deneys Reitz, a young Boer commando. The vivid and engaging experiences of these three men enable a more personal and nuanced story of the war to be told, and at the same time offer a fresh approach to a conflict that shaped the nation state of South Africa.

In the port of Alexandria, a very long time ago, Julius Caesar impregnated and then abandoned Cleopatra. The child of their union – groomed for greatness by his devoted mother but destined for tragedy – was called Caesarion. Little Caesar. History repeats itself, first as tragedy then as farce. In our time, another boy, Ludwig, is born in Alexandria and again the father flees the scene of the birth. The boy and his mother are soon obliged to move on. She, Marthe, is stormy, impetuous and vain. She will not rest until she finds their ideal home – which needs to be both dramatic and cheap. And so Ludwig and his mother end up on a clifftop in Suffolk in a house being eaten from the inside by woodworm and eroded from the outside by the waves attacking its foundations. In the hours mother and son spend together preening in front of the dressing-table mirror, a melodramatic intensity is born. But this stormy novel does not develop as you might then predict. Instead it opens out into a page-turning exploration of the power of the absent parent versus the power of the too-present parent. And it moves between Cartagena in the Caribbean and Viennese crypts, the rugby pitch and the chemotherapy ward, LA and London, the Mediterranean and the Pacific, as Ludwig’s gifts as a pianist open the world up. Caesarion is a novel that asks how anyone can ever know for sure how to be the right parent for their child, and how any child can know how to let themselves be parented. It is a beautiful, strong and brave novel. It confirms Tommy Wieringa as a storyteller of great range and real distinction.

The second novel from the author of Guernica (a top ten bestseller and winner of the Richard & Judy Summer Read 2009) is a deeply moving, intimate portrait of family, friendship and love, set against the backdrop of the second Boer war. Aletta Venter was on the family farm when the British troops arrived. She watched them burn her home to the ground before she was transferred, with her mother and siblings, to a prison camp. Never complaining, just living day by day, Lettie grows out of her innocent childhood. She is determined to be a good person, but everything is so complicated in this place where making the wrong decision can be life-threatening. What should she do about Maples, for example, the nineteen-year-old British guard who tries to befriend her? Is his kindness genuine, or would trusting him be a betrayal of herself and her country? A deeply moving, intimate portrait of family, friendship and love, set against the backdrop of the second Boer war at the turn of the twentieth century, The Undesirables (the British name for the residents of the camps) is the heart-rending yet life-affirming new novel from the top ten bestselling author of Guernica, winner of the Richard & Judy Summer Read.

This is a moving, funny and inspirational novel from the bestselling author of Skellig. *Shortlisted for the 2018 Costa Book Awards.* "The day is long, the world is wide, you're young and free." One hot summer morning, Davie steps boldly out of his front door. The world he enters is very familiar - the little Tyneside town that has always been his home - but as the day passes, it becomes ever more mysterious. A boy has been killed, and Davie thinks he might know who is responsible. He turns away from the gossip and excitement and sets off roaming towards the sunlit hills above the town. As the day goes on, the real and the imaginary start to merge, and Davie knows that neither he nor his world will ever be the same again. This an outstanding novel full of warmth and light, from a multi-award-winning author. David Almond says: 'I guess it embodies my constant astonishment at being alive in this beautiful, weird, extraordinary world.'

In this terrifyingly timely tale for fans of The Eye of Minds, a teen and his group of friends find themselves on the run after using a genius lie-detector contraption to expose their corrupt government. In a Putin-esque near-future America, the gifted and talented high school has just been eliminated, and Sam and his friends have been using their unexpected free time to work on a tiny, undetectable, utterly reliable lie detector. They're all in it for the money--except Theo, their visionary. For Theo, it's about creating a better world. A BS-free world, where no one can lie, and the honest will thrive. Just when they finish the prototype and turn down an offer to sell their brainchild to a huge corporation, Theo is found dead. Greedy companies, corrupt privatized police, and even the president herself will stop at nothing to steal the Truth App. Sam sets his sights on exposing all lies and holding everyone accountable. But he and his friends quickly realize the costs of a BS-free world: the lives of loved ones, and political and economic stability. They now face a difficult question: Is the world capable of operating without lies, or are lies what hold it together? "Deserving of comparisons to The Hunger Games." --Kirkus "This compelling, action-packed story will have readers eagerly turning pages...Give to fans of Cory Doctorow's Little Brother." --SLJ "The action is nonstop from beginning to end..a BS-free way to present a deep and fundamental question." --Booklist
