In Shanghai - P. Quaedvlieg - Paperback (9789025364113)

Als Petra Quaedvlieg de onveiligheid van Johannesburg ontvlucht en met man en dochter naar Shanghai verhuist, komt ze niet in het exotische Verre Oosten terecht. Shanghai maakt een grijze en eentonige indruk: een regenachtige stad met rommelige straten en kleurloze woontorens. Met saai geklede mensen die allemaal op elkaar lijken, mensen met wie ze weinig sociaal contact heeft. Dat verandert door ontmoetingen met teruggekeerde Chinese vrouwen. Moeders met wie ze aan de schoolpoort over China praat, het land dat zij eerder waren ontvlucht. Waarom zijn ze teruggekomen? Hoe ervaren zij Shanghai? De schrijfster besluit hun voorgeschiedenis op te tekenen: verhalen die getuigen van een turbulente historische periode die men in China liever vergeet. Zo vindt Petra Quaedvlieg langzaam haar plek in de metropool die de reputatie heeft de meest internationale stad van China te zijn. Met dit verslag van de dagelijkse gebeurtenissen in de buurt en op de school van haar dochtertje, en van de ontmoet…

Shanghai Skyline - Carolijn Visser - eBook (9789045703251)

Herkenning en bevreemding streden om de voorrang toen Carolijn Visser recentelijk door China reisde. Wat ooit onvoorstelbaar was, is nu heel gewoon: katholieken die tijdens de Culturele Revolutie hun geloof in het geheim moesten belijden, trekken nu naar kerken waar plaats is voor vierduizend man. Overal worden de traditionele hutongs gesloopt, om plaats te maken voor torenflats. Meneer Xu, die al jarenlang met de camera de veranderingen in Shanghai vastlegt, bracht Carolijn Visser op zijn zondagse fotostrooptocht de oude plekken in herinnering. Met hem zag ze hoe het land veranderd is, maar hoe zit het met de mensen? In Shanghai Skyline gaat Carolijn Visser op zoek naar de werkelijkheid achter de welvarende façade. Ze reist naar plaatsen waar collega-schrijvers Johan Schotman en Pearl Buck hebben gewoond en geleefd om te zien wat er over is van het leven dat zij beschrijven. Ze logeert enige tijd bij een jonge carrièrevrouw en trekt op met haar familie en vrienden. Er is weliswaar een…

Landscape biographies - eBook (9789048517800)

'Landscape Biographies' explores the long and complex histories of landscapes from personal and social perspectives. As an essential part of human life-worlds, landscapes have the potential to absorb something of people's lives, works, and thoughts. But landscapes also shape their own life-histories at different timescales, transcending human life-cycles and generating their own temporalities and rhythms. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that the co-scripting of landscapes and people figures prominently in the (auto-)biographical works of writers and attracts the interest of geographers, archaeologists, historians, and anthropologists. This has even resulted in a new genre in landscape research, rapidly gaining in popularity, under the heading of 'landscape biography'. In 'Landscape Biographies', twenty geographers, archaeologists, historians, and anthropologists investigate the diverse ways in which landscapes and monuments have been constructed, transmitted, and transformed from p…

Illusions - Ingeborg Bosch - eBook (9789080704947)

'Nobody really cares about me' 'When I can, I avoid confrontations' 'I do everything, just to be liked' 'In the end, it's never good enough' 'Occasionally I want to smash anything and everything' Strong emotions and negative thoughts can rule our lives if we don't know where they originate from, how we can handle them or how we can liberate ourselves from them. This can result in mere survival, avoidance, anxiety and a life full of conflict. This is unnecessary, since many of these feelings and thoughts are based on illusions that we developed as children to suppress painful feelings. Whilst these subconscious survival mechanisms are very useful for us as children, they can have a destructive impact on our adult life. In this sequel to Rediscovering the true Self, Ingeborg Bosch touchingly describes how these illusions can make life more difficult and more painful than it needs to be. Using clear examples, Bosch explains how we can overcome this illusory suffering. She gives us the key…

The shroud of Turin - Danielle van Dijk - eBook (9789491748318)

Finally in March 2014 prominent scientists managed to conclusively prove that the Shroud of Turin is not a fake and that the imprint on the Shroud has not been painted upon it. Likewise it has scientifically been proven that the carbon dating test from 1988 is entirely wrong. It is most remarkable that the imprint of Jesus’ body on the Shroud is a negative image. Only when photos are taken of the Shroud do the details of Jesus’ figure become clear. Surprisingly the imprint is three dimensional. Nobody can explain in whatever way the imprint has come about. No scientific theory whatsoever has been able to explain the phenomenon so far. Convincingly and carefully Danielle van Dijk gives a plausible explanation based on esotericism. The revelation of the secret can be found in the Body of Light of Jesus that is set free after His resurrection, which is a one-off and unique phenomenon. In this wonderful book, full of authentic texts and beautiful illustrations, the author investigates what…
