July, 1964. In bed at home in Kent, Winston Churchill is waking up. There's a visitor in the room, someone he hasn't seen for a while, a dark, mute bulk, watching him with tortured concentration. It's Mr Chartwell. In her terraced house in Battersea, Esther Hammerhans, young, vulnerable and alone, goes to answer the door to her new lodger. Through the glass she sees a vast silhouette the size of a mattress. It's Mr Chartwell. He is charismatic and dangerously seductive, and Esther and Winston Churchill are drawn together by his dark influence. But can they withstand Mr Chartwell's strange, powerful charms and strong hold? Can they even explain to anyone who or what he is? Or why he has come to visit? For Mr Chartwell is a huge, black dog. In this utterly original, moving, funny and exuberant novel, Rebecca Hunt explores how two unlikely lives collide as Mr Chartwell's motives are revealed to be far darker and deeper than they seem.

Inger Boxsem schrijft over haar zwarte periode van burn-out en depressie. Haar zoektocht naar genezing voert langs schuld, schaamte, begrip en onbegrip. Openhartig en verbazingwekkend licht. In ‘Naar omstandigheden nogal slecht’ vertelt Inger Boxsem over haar ervaringen met burn-out en langdurige depressie. Ze werpen haar met een smak op de bodem van haar gestel en van de sociaal-maatschappelijke ladder. Tijdens haar ziekte en gesprekken met therapeuten, bedrijfsartsen en hoogleraren maakt ze stapels aantekeningen. Over de veeleisende televisiewereld waarin ze jaren werkte, haar goedgehumeurde maar chaotische gezin, haar opname in een kliniek, de ziekmakende bezoeken aan het UWV en haar worsteling met antidepressiva. Haar zoektocht naar genezing voert langs schuld, schaamte, begrip en onbegrip. Ziet haar omgeving wel hoe ziek ze is? Telt ze nog mee zonder carrière? Wordt ze ooit nog beter? En: is zij nou gek of is de hele maatschappij doorgedraaid? Want hoe kan het dat in zo’n gelukkig land 800000 mensen aan de antidepressiva zijn en er evenzoveel burn-out raken? ‘Naar omstandigheden nogal slecht’ is de literaire neerslag van een zwarte periode, aangrijpend en, eerlijk is eerlijk, vaak herkenbaar. Openhartig en met verbazingwekkende lichtheid schrijft Inger over de zwaarste en zwartste tijd in haar leven.

A novel of two expeditions, a century apart, that “conjures the Antarctic convincingly . . . in its vastness and implacable indifference to human life” (The New York Times Book Review). In 1913, three explorers—Dinners, Millet-Bass, and Napps—volunteer to leave their ship, the Kismet, and scout an uncharted and unknown island in the Antarctic, which Napps names “Everland.” While all three are enticed by the promise of adventure and reward, they are immortalized by the disastrous outcome of the expedition, their stories preserved for posterity. In 2012, Brix, Jess, and Decker—three researchers with their own reasons for being so far from home—set out on a centenary field trip to survey the same island. Their equipment is more advanced than the previous group’s, and their purpose more scientific—but the weather of Everland remains an unpredictable and deadly force, and under the harsh ultraviolet light of a sun which doesn’t set, isolated from the world, they begin to echo the expedition of a hundred years ago. “Nothing short of stunning: an adventure story, a psychological investigation of physical and mental breakdown, and a remarkable account of weather and endeavor.” —The Guardian

Over de geschiedenis van de Europese koningshuizen en de uitdagingen voor de toekomst. Voor wie alles wil weten over Europese royals. Met exclusieve foto’s en uitgebreide stamboom. Monarchie is er voor wie de Europese monarchie in het moderne tijdperk wil leren begrijpen, voor zowel republikeinen als monarchisten. Rijken beschrijft in Monarchie de belangrijkste vorstenhuizen in Europa vanaf een historisch kantelpunt: de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Rijken laat zien hoezeer het handelen van de Europese vorsten de loop van de gebeurtenissen in onder meer Nederland, Engeland, België, Spanje en Scandinavië heeft beïnvloed. De koninklijke families zijn vaak al decennia lang met elkaar verbonden door huwelijken en oorlogen, en hun geschiedenissen grijpen telkens in elkaar. Toch ziet ieder koningshuis zich voor andere opdrachten en dilemma’s gesteld. Bovendien moeten zij voortdurend nadenken over de media, de politiek en hun rol en invloed in een steeds veranderende samenleving. Aan de hand van talloze pakkende anekdotes, verhalen en thema’s schetst Rijken een levendig beeld van de Europese monarchen en hun families. Ook maakt hij de balans op. Hebben we aan het eind van deze eeuw nog koningshuizen in Europa? Diverse vorstenhuizen verleenden achter de schermen medewerking.

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.

The Matrix meets Oliver Twist! WARP: The Hangman's Revolution is the second book in a major new series by Eoin Colfer, the bestselling author of Artemis Fowl. F.B.I. agent Chevie Savano is trapped in a nightmare future. Unless she can return to 19th-century London and change the course of history, millions will die. Luckily she has Riley the boy magician and a Victorian gangster with lovely hair to help her battle two crazed villains, who have brought the military technology of the future back in time - with potentially disastrous consequences. The stakes are higher than the hangman's noose and only Chevie can save the day. Assuming she can avoid being killed by a couple of psycho warrior-nuns first . . . 'Colfer has the ability to make you laugh twice over: first in sheer subversive joy at the inventiveness of the writing, and again at the energy of the humour' - Sunday Times 'Readers mourning the end of the Artemis Fowl series can take heart...the time-bending WARP series is an all-out blast.' - Publishers Weekly
