"An ode to the imagination."—NRC Handelsblad A joy to read, La Superba, winner of the most prestigious Dutch literary prize, is a Rabelaisian, stylistic tour-de-force. Migration, legal and illegal, is at the center of this novel about a writer who becomes trapped in his walk on the wild side in mysterious and exotic Genoa, the labyrinthine port city nicknamed "La Superba." Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer (b. 1968), poet, dramatist, novelist, renowned in the Netherlands as a master of language, is the only two-time winner of the Tzum Prize for "the most beautiful sentence written in Dutch" (including one in La Superba!).

Genoa has an incredible story to tell. It rose from an obscurity imposed by its harsh geography to become a merchant-pirate superpower that helped create the medieval world. It fought bitter battles with its great rival Venice and imprisoned Marco Polo, as the feuding city-states connected Europe to the glories of the East. It introduced the Black Death to Europe, led the fight against the Barbary Corsairs, bankrolled Imperial Spain, and gave the world Christopher Columbus and a host of fearless explorers. Genoa and Liguria provided the brains and the heroism behind the Risorgimento, and was the last place emigrants saw before building new lives across the Atlantic. It played host to writers and Grand Tourists, gave football to the Italians, and helped build modern Italy. Today, along with the glorious Riviera coast of Liguria, Genoa provides some of the finest places on earth to sip wine, eat pesto and enjoy spectacular views. This book brings the past to life and paints a portrait of a modern port city and region that is only now coming to terms with a past that is as bloody, fascinating and influential as any in Europe.

Deze roman is een monument voor een stad zoals er maar één is: Genua, La Superba (de hoogmoedige). En meer nog dan een roman over een schokkend echte en labyrintische stad, is het een liefdesverhaal dat tragisch eindigt. En meer nog dan een stadsroman en een liefdesroman, onderzoekt, vertelt en ontrafelt La Superba de fantasie van een beter leven elders en laat zien hoe mensen van gerenommeerde schrijvers en verlopen heren van stand tot arme Senegalese sloebers en flanerende hoeren op verschillende manieren verdwalen in die fantasie. En meer nog dan over de stad, de liefde en het lot van de zoekende mens gaat deze grandioze meerstemmige roman over het schrijven van een grandioze meerstemmige roman. Hoertjes zijn voor de lunch. Rond een uur of elf, half twaalf, komen ze tevoorschijn. Ze hangen rond in het labyrint van steegjes in de hellende driehoek tussen Via Garibaldi, Via San Luca en Via Luccoli, aan weerskanten van de Via della Maddalena, in duistere straatjes met poëtische namen als Vico della Rosa, Vico dei Angeli en Vico ai Quattro Canti di San Francesco. Dit zijn stegen waar zelfs op het middaguur de zon niet doordringt. Daar leunen ze achteloos tegen deurposten of ze zitten in groepjes bij elkaar op straat. Ze zeggen dingen tegen mij als `amore . Ze zeggen dat ze van mij houden en dat ze willen dat ik bij hen kom.

Go-To Telescopes Under Suburban Skies is the first book specifically written for amateur astronomers who own, or who are about to purchase, a computer-controlled ‘go-to’ telescope. The advantage of the ‘go-to’ capability is enormous – the telescope can be aimed at any object in the sky with great speed and accuracy – which is why these instruments are so popular. Making the realistic assumption that the observer is using a relatively small telescope and is observing from a backyard in a suburban area, this book provides literally hundreds more targets beyond those offered by the built-in ‘nightly tours’ that feature on the telescope’s computer tours. And instead of wasting many pages on maps and coordinates, it leads the computer to locate the targets, and so has room to suggest many more fascinating deep-sky objects and provide detailed observing lists and information about what's being viewed.

1,001 Celestial Wonders is a guide to the night sky's brightest and most fascinating objects. Each target is accessible to amateur astronomers using medium-sized telescopes from a dark site. In fact, many are so bright they remain visible under moderate light pollution, as from the outskirts of a city or the suburbs of a town. The book provides a chronological target list, making it easy to use. No matter what night you choose, this book will show you many of the most memorable objects to observe, whether you are using a small telescope or even binoculars, or an instrument of larger aperture. This is far more than just a list of interesting objects. It is structured so that objects of various observing difficulty are included, which will help readers become better observers, both encouraging beginners and challenging long-time amateur astronomers. This book is designed to be easy-to-use at the telescope, and observers will appreciate each object's standardized layout and the book's chronological organization. Finally, many amateur astronomers function best when presented with a list! Even the Meade Autostar® controller features a 'best tonight' list (although the list is far less comprehensive and detailed than the catalog provided in this book), a feature that has proved extremely popular. 1,001 Celestial Wonders offers a life-list of objects any observer would be proud to complete.
