    De Nederlandse droom

    De Nederlandse droom

    Paperback in goede staat. Klein vouwtje in achterzijde cover.

    Waar Amerika de selfmade man huldigt, koesterde Nederland jarenlang zijn eigen droom. Doorstroming in het onderwijs bood iedereen de kans hogerop te komen in de maatschappij. Stapelaars werden ze genoemd, de mannen en vrouwen die hun droom waarmaakten door na de lts, de mulo of de mavo telkens een nieuwe trede van de ladder te beklimmen. Dubbeltjes konden kwartjes worden en soms lag er nog meer in het verschiet. Onderwijs was duur, zeker als de eindstreep niet langs kaarsrechte lijnen maar via een omweg werd bewandeld. Het adagium was: duur onderwijs is altijd nog goedkoper dan onwetendheid. (Oud-)politici als Ahmed Aboutaleb, Gerrit Braks, Jan Jacob van Dijk, Maria van der Hoeven, Ab Klink en Ahmed Marcouch zijn stapelaars of laatbloeiers. Evenals de hoogleraren Paul Cliteur, David Pinto en Rob de Wijk. En de CEO s Ad Scheepbouwer, topman van KPN, en Aad Veenman, president-directeur van de NS. Het geldt ook voor de voorzitter van de Algemene Bond van Uitzendbureaus en SER-kroonlid Hans Kamps, (hulp)bisschop van Roermond Everardus de Jong, oud-PSV-voorzitter en oud-Philips-topman Harry van Raaij en Fortis-econoom Aline Schuiling. Journalist Paul van Liempt analyseerde de fenomenen stapelen en laatbloeien, waarvoor hij sprak met SER-voorzitter Alexander Rinnooy Kan en voorzitter van de mbo-raad Jan van Zijl. En hij tekende de persoonlijke verhalen op van de vijftien mannen en vrouwen die de Nederlandse droom met verve gestalte gaven. Samen vormen ze een pleidooi voor beter onderwijs en herstel van de Nederlandse droom.

    Marilyn - The Last Take

    Marilyn - The Last Take

    Halflinnen. Dikke hardback met stofomslag en buikbandje in goede staat. Aantekening voorin. Fotokatern. Engelstalig.

    At last, the true and complete story of Marilyn Monroe's final days can be told. This riveting, headline-making, myth-shattering book, based on thousands of newly discovered documents, hours of newly available footage from her final film, and over 300 revealing new interviews, is a detailed and astonishing account of what really happened during the last fourteen weeks in the life of Hollywood's legendary sex goddess. Recreating the drama of a bygone era of glamour and intrigue, it presents compelling evidence that Marilyn Monroe was the victim of two conspiracies that, together, brought about her professional and personal downfall: an elaborate scheme on the part of a once-mighty film studio teetering on the brink of bankruptcy; and an even more sinister plot masterminded by America's First Family. Among the shattering, totally authenticated revelations: the searing details of Marilyn's affairs with John Kennedy and Robert Kennedy, including her famous birthday song to JFK and her final series of rendezvous with RFK; how Marilyn was sabotaged by executives of 20th Century-Fox and psychologically shredded on the set by a predatory pack led by vengeful director George Cukor; how the cruel competition between Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor sealed Marilyn's fate with the studio bosses; the role the FBI, CIA, and Secret Service played in blanketing the scene of her death and in the disposal of her private papers and personal effects; and why the accidental overdose theory cannot stand. Just as affecting as these and other eyeopening new facts is the way that Marilyn herself comes to life again. Marilyn, confidently in love, not hesitating to phone her powerful lover when he was with hiswife. Marilyn, the ultimate professional, an actress at the peak of her talent and beauty. Marilyn without makeup, fresh and funny and unspoiled. Marilyn, tormented by her past and her private demons, seeking escape in alcohol and pills, and release in her art. Complete with 16 pages of stunning photos, many never seen before, this is an unforgettable portrait of Marilyn Monroe as she deserves to be remembered - the way she really was.

    James Joyce

    James Joyce

    Engelstalige uitgave, gebonden met stofomslag, in zeer goede staat

    This book is the first completely new biography of James Joyce for a generation. It will prove both controversial and essential. James Joyce left Dublin in 1904, when he was twenty-two, and for the next decade taught and worked in Pola, Trieste and Rome. He visited his native Dublin for the last time in 1912, leaving after an acrimonious dispute with a publisher and spending the rest of his life on the Continent. By the time he was thirty he had already had the vast majority of experiences on which his intensely autobiographical literary output was based. Peter Costello, Joycean scholar and native Dubliner, draws on recently discovered or previously overlooked sources to show how Joyce's early life -- his education, his relationship with his brothers and sisters, his youthful loss of faith, his first sexual experiences, his meeting with Nora Barnacle -- shaped so much he was to write in later years. With the publication of his first writing in 1915 came immediate literary respect and fame in Europe and America. From then on he was always the center of attention. But, as Peter Costello argues with conviction and passion, it was the earlier period of obscurity which provided Joyce with the material for Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses and even the much later Finnegans Wake and was therefore the most significant and interesting period of his life. The theme of James Joyce: the Years of Growth is the theme of all Joyce's work -- the transformation of raw life into art. The network of friendships surrounding Joyce's family, of which he was to make so much use in Ulysses, receives special attention. Ulysses is very much a book about a city and a community, a community which was largely that of Joyce's father. Joyce as a writer owed a tremendous debt to his story-telling father. The majority of the characters in Ulysses were friends of John Joyce, who contributed more than has been realized to the make-up of Leopold Bloom. By taking an historical rather than purely biographical approach, Peter Costello places Joyce firmly in the context of the Dublin of his youth, frequently refutes accepted fact and discovers a new portrait of James Joyce.
