Literature of the Low Countries
In any definition of terms, Dutch literature must be taken to mean all literature written in Dutch, thus excluding literature in Frisian, even though Friesland is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, in the same way as literature in Welsh would be excluded from a history of English literature. Simi larly, literature in Afrikaans (South African Dutch) falls outside the scope of this book, as Afrikaans from the moment of its birth out of seventeenth-century Dutch grew up independently and must be regarded as a language in its own right. . Dutc:h literature, then, is the literature written in Dutch as spoken in the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the so-called Flemish part of the Kingdom of B...
The Prickle Sisters
The Prickle Sisters are back! Fans of all ages can for the first time in English, read the adventure of the Haunted Mill as well as a brand new story that takes place at FACTS, the Belgian Comic Con. Little girls grow up. This doesn’t just apply to the young and perhaps already slightly older fans, but also to the little Prickles themselves. Or is it best to say the Prickle sisters from now on (for our own safety)? After their adventure in the Haunted Mill (included in full in this book), the infamous family moves to the city, and the sisters attend secondary school. Cool, because then they can torment not just one, but several teachers there. Besides, there’s a lot of fun stuff happening in the city. Like FACTS, for instance, the Belgian Comic-Con, where this time none other than teen idol and super-popular comic and film hero Spicky Spike is coming to sign autographs. Unfortunately, tickets for this delightful event sold out in an instant. But then help suddenly arrives from an unexpected quarter. The PRICKLES are back! and with a vengeance.
Thriving differently
Elise Cordaro has autism and ADHD. She shares concrete tips and mind hacks with the reader, inspiring him or her not to see the diagnosis of autism or ADHD as an end point. Does a supermarket visit wear you out? Do you get stressed when your plans get disrupted? Do you feel like the world doesn’t quite suit you? Nothing to worry about, because everyone feels like that sometimes, right? Or is there more to it? Elise Cordaro only discovered at 27 that she has autism and ADHD. At first, psychologists waved away her request for help. After all, she looked perfectly normal, had two master’s degrees and had been living alone for a while. She turned out to be a master of camouflage. Over the ye...
Functional Approaches to Culture and Translation
This volume contains a generous selection of articles on translation by Professor José Lambert (K.U. Leuven). It traces the intellectual itinerary of their author, who started out as a French and Comparative Literature scholar some four decades ago trying to get a better grip on the problem of inter-literary contacts, and who soon became a key figure in the emergent discipline of Translation Studies, where he is widely known as an indefatigable promoter of descriptively oriented research. This collection shows how José Lambert has never stopped asking new questions about the crucial but often hidden role of language and translation in the world of today. It includes some of the author's classic papers as well as a few lesser known ones that deserve wider circulation. The editors' introduction and the bibliography complete this thought-provoking survey of the career of one of the most creative researchers in the field.
Styx
A serial killer is on the loose in Ostend, Belgium. Nicknamed The Stuffer, the mysterious killer fills his victims full of sand and poses them as public art installations. Rafael Styx, a corrupt, middle-aged cop with a bum hip and ties to the Belgian underworld is on the case. A chance encounter with The Stuffer leaves Styx dead from a gun shot to the chest--but the afterlife has just begun. Returning as a zombie, Styx has to battle his new hunger for human flesh as he seeks to restore his honor and find his own murderer.
Flikstories
De memoires van de bekendste politiewoordvoerder van het land. Agenten spelen een hoofdrol in tal van boeken, series en films, maar wat weten we werkelijk over het echte politiewerk? De taak van de politie is meer dan misdaad bestrijden. De politie is er vooral om mensen te helpen, vaak wanneer die heel kwetsbaar zijn. Commissaris Christian De Coninck geeft u inzicht in de meest spraakmakende zaken in zijn veertigjarige politiecarrière. Zijn verhalen ontroeren, verrassen en stemmen tot nadenken. Gelukkig zijn ze niet doorspekt met kommer en kwel: humor blijkt De Conincks sterkste wapen, als commissaris, maar ook als auteur.
