Summary: De onweerstaanbare Burka Babes zijn terug, de populaire personages uit de Sigmund-strip in de Volkskrant. Nuchter en met zwarte humor geven zij hun visie op religie, de onderdrukking van de vrouw en de westerse maatschappij en creëren zo hun eigen poldermodel. Van het eerste deel "Burka Babes", dat ook in een internationale editie verscheen, werden meer dan 20.000 exemplaren verkocht.

Colofon vermeldt: "De Burka Babes verschenen eerder als onderdeel van de dagstrip Sigmund in de Volkskrant tussen oktober 2005 en juni 2007 en in een speciale uitgave voor relaties van uitgeverij De Harmonie ter gelegenheid van de jaarwisseling 2006/2007."

A sweeping saga of love and greed set during the mid-nineteenth century gold rush in New Zealand.
Joseph and Harriet Blackstone, along with Joseph's mother Lilian, emigrate from England in search of new beginnings and prosperity. But the harsh land near Christchurch where they settle threatens to destroy them almost before they begin. When Joseph finds gold in the creek, he guiltily hides the discovery from his wife and mother, and is seized by a rapturous obsession with the voluptuous riches awaiting him deep in the earth. Abandoning his farm and family, he sets off alone for the new gold-fields over the Southern Alps, a moral wilderness where many others, under the seductive dreams of the "colour," are violently rushing to their destinies. Harriet bravely decides to pursue her own journey towards an uncertain future. But nothing has prepared her for what happens when she too arrives at the gold diggings. Amid squalor and confusion, burning heat and icy flood, Harriet Blackstone comes face to face with the true cost of desire.
Hauntingly evocative, and by turns both moving and terrifying, The Colour is the story of a quest for the impossible, an attempt to mine the complexities of love and in the process discover what it is that makes men and women happy.

Biografie van de kunstenaar (1872-1944).

Wakend over God' beschrijft de geloofsstrijd van een naamloos blijvend ik, die soms in zijn verbeelding, soms letterlijk, met het Opperwezen in gevecht raakt. Zwagerman bezingt in diverse toonaarden het gevecht met de Engel. Allerlei facetten van een denk- en navoelbare verhouding met God passeren de revue: verwachting, troost, woede, verbittering, loochening en uiteindelijk berusting. In Wakend over God heeft Zwagerman zijn taal uitgebeend en kaal geschraapt. Een literaire tour de force.

Americas beloved and distinguished historian presents, in a book of breathtaking excitement, drama, and narrative force, the stirring story of the year of our nation’s birth, 1776, interweaving, on both sides of the Atlantic, the actions and decisions that led Great Britain to undertake a war against her rebellious colonial subjects and that placed America’s survival in the hands of George Washington.

In this masterful book, David McCullough tells the intensely human story of those who marched with General George Washington in the year of the Declaration of Independence—when the whole American cause was riding on their success, without which all hope for independence would have been dashed and the noble ideals of the Declaration would have amounted to little more than words on paper.

Based on extensive research in both American and British archives, 1776 is a powerful drama written with extraordinary narrative vitality. It is the story of Americans in the ranks, men of every shape, size, and color; farmers, schoolteachers, shoemakers, no-accounts, and mere boys turned soldiers. And it is the story of the Kings men, the British commander, William Howe, and his highly disciplined redcoats who looked on their rebel foes with contempt and fought with a valor too little known.

Written as a companion work to his celebrated biography of John Adams, David McCulloughs 1776 is another landmark in the literature of American history.
