Een dichter op de kruising
Leopold rond 1900Dick van Halsema (1943) is de biograaf van de grootste Nederlandse dichter van de twintigste eeuw, de Rotterdammer J.H. Leopold. Een leven lang doet Van Halsema onderzoek naar het denken en het doen, schrijven en dichten, naar het wezen van het dichterlijk brein en gevoelen van Jan Hendrik Leopold. Van Halsema bouwt grondig aan de piramide die de biografie uiteindelijk zal zijn. De verspreide en losse stenen opdelvend, zorgvuldig schoonmakend, taxerend, herschikkend in 'Bijeen het vroeger en het later, de dichter Leopold en zijn bronnen. Een onderzoek naar de verwerking van de bronnen in een groep onvoltooide gedichten uit de nalatenschap van J.H. Leopold'. Hoe vervolgens de woorden in het leven en het leven in de woorden van Leopold werkzaam zijn, beschrijft hij in 'Dit eene brein. Opstellen over werk en dichterschap van J.H. Leopold'. Eerder met 'De kamer van Leopold', en nu met 'Een dichter op de kruising. Leopold rond 1900' presenteert Van Halsema momenten uit de wervelingen van een solitaire hartstocht, fragmenten uit het kwetsbare weefsel van een denkend en dichtend leven.

The Picture of Dorian Gray
An astounding novel of decadence, debauchery, and secrecy from one of Ireland's greatest writers. Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American ReadEnthralled by his own exquisite portrait, Dorian Gray makes a Faustian bargain to sell his soul in exchange for eternal youth and beauty. Under the influence of Lord Henry Wotton, he is drawn into a corrupt double life, where he is able to indulge his desires while remaining a gentleman in the eyes of polite society. Only Dorian's picture bears the traces of his decadence. A knowing account of a secret life and an analysis of the darker side of late Victorian society. The Picture of Dorian Gray offers a disturbing portrait of an individual coming face to face with the reality of his soul. Shocking in its suggestion of unspeakable sin, this novel was later used as evidence against Wilde when he was tried for indecency in 1895.

Brave New World
Aldous Huxley was born on 26 July 1894 near Godalming, Surrey. He began writing poetry and short stories in his early 20s, but it was his first novel, Crome Yellow (1921), which established his literary reputation. This was swiftly followed by Antic Hay (1923), Those Barren Leaves (1925) and Point Counter Point (1928) ¿ bright, brilliant satires in which Huxley wittily but ruthlessly passed judgement on the shortcomings of contemporary society. For most of the 1920s Huxley lived in Italy and an account of his experiences there can be found in Along the Road (1925). The great novels of ideas, including his most famous work Brave New World (published in 1932 this warned against the dehumanising aspects of scientific and material 'progress') and the pacifist novel Eyeless in Gaza (1936) were accompanied by a series of wise and brilliant essays, collected in volume form under titles such as Music at Night (1931) and Ends and Means (1937). In 1937, at the height of his fame, Huxley left Europe to live in California, working for a time as a screenwriter in Hollywood. As the West braced itself for war, Huxley came increasingly to believe that the key to solving the world's problems lay in changing the individual through mystical enlightenment. The exploration of the inner life through mysticism and hallucinogenic drugs was to dominate his work for the rest of his life. His beliefs found expression in both fiction (Time Must Have a Stop,1944, and Island, 1962) and non-fiction (The Perennial Philosophy, 1945; Grey Eminence, 1941; and the account of his first mescalin experience, The Doors of Perception, 1954. Huxley died in California on 22 November 1963.

A Short Guide to Towns Without a Past
90 Classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin BooksBest known for his existentialist novel The Outsider, set in French-occupied Algeria, Albert Camus was profoundly influenced by the landscapes, towns and traditions of his youth. Selected here are some of his finest personal essays about Algeria and its environs, including the luminous 'Nuptials at Tipasa', one of his earliest works where he developed the themes that would inform his later philosophy: to thrive now, without hope for paradise, as mortal life alone can be worthwhile.
