Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920) was zonder twijfel één van de merkwaardigste figuren van de Nederlandse geschiedenis. Kuyper richtte zijn eigen dagblad, partij, universiteit en kerk op, de instrumenten waarmee hij de strijd aanbond tegen ‘de revolutie’, tegen liberalisme, socialisme, evolutieleer, Tachtigerpoëzie, Multatuli, enzovoorts. Terwijl hij voor zijn gereformeerde achterban een nieuwe Mozes leek, was hij voor menig ander een dagelijkse steen des aanstoots. Maar wat men ook van hem vond, feit...

Leo Samama Berlioz
Een hoorcollege over zijn leven en werk
Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) is in de Franse toonkunst een bijzondere eenling, een componist zo origineel, dat de Fransen er nog steeds een beetje moeite mee hebben.

Berlioz was in veel opzichten een kind van de jaren twintig en dertig van de negentiende eeuw, toen restauratie en revolutie hand in hand leken te gaan. Het was de tijd van de burgerkoning Louis Philippe, maar ook van schrijvers als Victor Hugo,...
