Charleroi geldt als ‘de lelijkste stad ter wereld’. Geen stad wordt meer verguisd. Onterecht, vindt Pascal Verbeken. Charleroi is niet minder mooi of interessant dan Venetië, Brugge of Amsterdam. Voor wie het wil zien. Ooit was Charleroi de belangrijkste industriestad op het Europese continent. Een stad van staal, steenkool en glas. Een magneet voor talloze immigranten, onder wie tienduizenden Vlamingen. Vandaag zoekt Charleroi zelf een nieuwe toekomst. Verbeken deelt zijn favoriete steenkoolbergen, industriesites, buurten, Vlaamse sporen, fotografie, kunst, curiosa, fenomenen, musea, parken, cafés en eethuizen (véél Italianen!). ‘Mijn Charleroi’ is de eerste gids die aan de grootste stad van Wallonië gewijd is. Een ontdekkingsboek vol uitzichten en inzichten. Een uitnodiging om deze mythische stad, où le beau est toujours bizarre, te leren kennen. Met twee wandelingen, alsook vele literatuur-, film- en muziektips.
