Howard Jacobson Whatever it is, I don't like it
"It takes a particular kind of man to want an embroidered polo player astride his left nipple. Occasionally, when I am tired and emotional, or consumed with self-dislike, I try to imagine myself as someone else, a wearer of Yarmouth shirts and fleecy sweats, of windbreakers and rugged Tyler shorts, of baseball caps with polo players where the section of the brain that concerns itself with aesthetics is supposed to be. But the hour passes. Good men return from fighting Satan in the wilderness the...

Rebecca Stott Darwin's ghosts
"Christmas, 1859. Just one month after the publication of On the Origin of Species, Darwin received a letter that deeply unsettled him. He had expected criticism. Letters were arriving every day like swarms, some expressing praise, most outrage and accusations of heresy. But the letter from the Reverend Powell was different. It accused Darwin of failing to acknowledge his predecessors, of having taken credit for a theory that had already been discovered by others, Baden Powell himself and Darwin's...

Rüdiger Safranski Tijd
hoe tijd en mens elkaar beïnvloeden
Met onze moderne communicatiemiddelen lijken we de tijd naar onze hand te kunnen zetten: we kunnen van elk moment nú maken. Maar daarmee offeren we ook iets op, iets wezenlijks: het hóórt tijd te kosten om een ervaring te verwerken en als die tijd er niet is, wordt de ervaring steeds minder waard. Rüdiger Safranski houdt in Tijd een filosofisch pleidooi voor aandacht en bezinning. Hoewel de tijdbeleving van de religie – die tot in de eeuwigheid doorgaat – voor veel mensen niet meer is weggelegd,...

Bregje Hofstede Bergje
een wandeling
In Bergje beklimt Bregje Hofstede de berg die zij zo vaak bezocht als kind: de Sass Songher in de Dolomieten. In haar kinderogen had de berg mythische proporties: hij was groter dan alle andere bergen op de wereld, het rijk van wilde avonturen, waar de echo's van strijdbare bergvorstinnen klinken, en waar Hofstede zich afzonderde van het veelkoppige gezin waar ze deel van uitmaakt. Kan iemand anders zien wat jij als kind hebt gezien? Kan iemand zien wat er niet meer is? Het zijn vragen die Hofstede...
