Hans Christian Andersen The Great Sea Serpent
One sunny day, when a little sea fish was swimming joyfully with his eighteen thousand brothers and sisters, the water was darkened by an enormous eel who came from above and was heading deeper into the sea. It disappeared very quickly and as soon as the calm had returned, the cutest little fish, who was also the most curious, went looking for information to find out who this newcomer to the Ocean was. Could it be the great sea serpent? Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author,...

Aunt Mille has always told me that I have the soul of a great poet. I am not sure about this, but I love her so much that I do not dare contradict her.

Now that I am a student, I have my own apartment and sometimes Aunt Mille comes to visit. The other night, while she was sleeping in the next bedroom, I received a visit from another, much less pleasant, lady... Since then, I do...

Katherine Mansfield Prelude
"There was not an inch of room for Lottie and Kezia in the buggy. When Pat swung them on top of the luggage they wobbled; the grandmother‘s lap was full and Linda Burnell could not possibly have held a lump of a child on hers for any distance." The seemingly perfect Burnell family is moving from one house to another, and on the surface, everything appears idyllic. But as the story develops, the tension grows, threating to explode and expose their true nature. `Prelude‘ (1922) is evidence of Katherine...

F. Scott Fitzgerald B. J. Harrison Reads The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

He's not interested in playing with other kids and he's too low on energy to participate anyway. When Benjamin turns 20 it dawns on his family that he is aging backwards. The younger he grows, the more he learns to...

Katherine Mansfield In a German Pension
Recovering from a miscarriage and a bad marriage, author Katherine Mansfield, barely 21, wrote these excellent short stories around the time she was staying in a spa town in Germany. With wry humour, she depicts a German upper middle class defined by their rude habits, but she also touches upon the hard life of servants and the oppression of women. The latter distinguishes her writing from that of Jane Austen, but the way in which Mansfield mocks the stiff-upper-lipped ladies and Barons of these...

J.M.A. Biesheuvel De angstkunstenaar
Wie kijkt door de ogen van Biesheuvel, ziet een grillige, lieflijke, angstaanjagende, wonderlijke en telkens verbazende wereld. Het autobiografische is nooit ver weg, evenmin als het absurdistische, het surreële. De angstkunstenaar is een caleidoscopische glimp van de binnenwereld van een fantasierijke en grappige, maar ook een door angsten en wanen geplaagde schrijver. Bron: Flaptekst, uitgeversinformatie

Het is proza om in te vertoeven, en het enige nadeel is de harde klap waarmee men na lezing van deze heerlijke verhalen weer in de grote boze buitenwereld valt. Bron: Flaptekst, uitgeversinformatie
