The Atomium in Brussels is one of the tourist highlights of Belgium and was built specifically for the World Expo in 1958. Nearly 15,000 workers spent three years building the 2 km2 site, found on the Heysel plateau, seven kilometres northwest of Brussels. The site is best known for a giant model of a unit cell of an iron crystal (each sphere representing an atom), called the Atomium, which decades later remains one of the best known landmarks of Brussels. The 1958 Expo could be said to be a reflection of a changing society and of the economical, technical and social advances towards modernity that paved the way for the age of prosperity the Western World experienced in the sixties. The Expo ran for 6 months and was visited by over 42 million people. The exhibition features archived documents, such as the plans of the 1958 Expo, typical fifties objects, films of the time showing what was going on in the aisles of the Expo, several scale models including the Civil Engineering Arrow and the Place de Brouckère information centre, which transport the visitor back to the world of 58 and the spectacle of this unique event. As a symbol of these years of optimism, Expo 58 left an idyllic picture to the Belgians of a period of hope and utopia that can be discovered or rediscovered through the exhibition. SELLING POINTS: *Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, Expo 58 is due to be featured in an exhibition taking place in the Atomium in Brussels. This lavishly illustrated book is the official catalogue that accompanies it *A fascinating look at a period of revolution in many areas of society, this book is perfect for those who wish to be transported to an age of excitement and fresh ideas, as well as those who can remember the fair itself and the anticipation that preceded it 100 b/w + 90 colour illustrations

Thomas Foley e un mărunt funcționar britanic, plictisit de munca lui la Biroul Central de Informații. Însă un eveniment neașteptat îi schimbă radical destinul: în anul 1958 este trimis la Bruxelles, ca să supravegheze activitatea pubului tradițional construit în pavilionul britanic cu ocazia Expoziției Internaționale din Belgia. Thomas descoperă la Bruxelles o lume diversă și dezinhibată. Flirtează cu o frumoasă însoțitoare de la Expo, se împrietenește cu un pretins jurnalist rus, iar la un moment dat e implicat într-o afacere de spionaj internațional. Vor trece decenii până când va ajunge să înțeleagă ce a făcut el de fapt în Bruxelles, dar e deja prea târziu ca să mai schimbe ceva.

Londres, 1958. Thomas Foley dispose d'une certaine ancienneté au ministère de l'Information quand on vient lui proposer de participer à un événement historique, l'Exposition universelle, qui doit se tenir cette année-là à Bruxelles. Il devra y superviser la construction du Pavillon britannique et veiller à la bonne tenue d'un pub, Le Britannia, censé incarner la culture de son pays. Le jeune Foley, alors qu'il vient de devenir père, est séduit par cette proposition exotique, et Sylvia, son épouse, ne voit pas son départ d'un très bon oeil. Elle fera toutefois bonne figure, et la correspondance qu'ils échangeront viendra entrecouper le récit des nombreuses péripéties qui attendent notre héros au pays du roi Baudouin, où il est très vite rejoint par de savoureux personnages : Chersky, un journaliste russe qui pose des questions à la manière du KGB, Tony, le scientifique anglais responsable d'une machine, la ZETA, qui pourrait faire avancer la technologie du nucléaire, Anneke, enfin, l'hôtesse belge qui va devenir sa garde rapprochée... Coe embarque le lecteur dans une histoire pleine de rebondissements, sans que jamais la tension ne retombe ou que le ridicule ne l'emporte. Sous la forme d'une parodie de roman d'espionnage, il médite sur le sens de nos existences et dresse le portrait d'un monde disparu, l'Angleterre des années 1950, une société tiraillée entre une certaine attirance pour la liberté que semble offrir la modernité et un attachement viscéral aux convenances et aux traditions en place.
