    Big in Brussels: The art of working and living in the EU Bubble
    Big in Brussels: The art of working and living in the EU Bubble
    The Brussels “EU Bubble” is a high-pressure, fast-churn and competitive environment where career success can often come at a high personal cost. Drawing on his own experience and the collective wisdom of many Brussels insiders, Jeroen Reijnen explains “the art of working and living in the EU Bubble” − in other words, how best to achieve a positive work-life balance in a city where people come and go, and burnout, rootlessness and loneliness are all too common.As Jeroen explains: “Where 'Big in Brussels' started out just as a book about making a career, it evolved into one about how to live the 'Good Life' in the EU Bubble.” His advice is practical, realistic and engaging.

    Atlas The Phantom Atlas | Simon & Schuster
    Atlas The Phantom Atlas | Simon & Schuster
    Een fascinerend boekwerk met de grootste mythes, leugens en blunders die ooit op kaart zijn verschenen. In een luxe hardcover uitgave met mooie stofomslag. The Phantom Atlas is an atlas of the world not as it ever existed, but as it was thought to be. These marvellous and mysterious phantoms - non-existent islands, invented mountain ranges, mythical civilisations and other fictitious geography - were all at various times presented as facts on maps and atlases. This book is a collection of striking antique maps that display the most erroneous cartography, with each illustration accompanied by the story behind it. Exploration, map-making and mythology are all brought together to create a colourful tapestry of monsters, heroes and volcanoes; swindlers, mirages and murderers. Sometimes the stories are almost impossible to believe, and remarkably, some of the errors were still on display in maps published in the 21st century. Throughout much of the 19th century more than 40 different mapma…

    Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire Ultimate Diorama Masterline Series Statue Kong vs Skar King Bonus Version 104 cm
    One Fights to Protect. One Lives to Rule. The Clash of Ideologies, Brought to Life in a Hollow Earth Diorama Commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Monsterverse, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire delivers a monumental new chapter.

    The Hobbit Trilogy Statue Radagast the Brown 17 cm
    The Hobbit Trilogy Statue Radagast the Brown 17 cm
    Many imagine Wizards as great and powerful beings, moving the very powers of the world in subtle yet significant ways towards a grand design. Yet, Wizards come in all manner of being, and some prefer the company of critters to the company of kings.Tasked with guiding the inhabitants of Middle-earth in their struggle against Sauron, Wizards varied widely in form and nature. While some moved among the powers of the world, giving counsel in war and wielding their wonderous ways to reshape empires, others were more subtle. Eschewing grand halls or battlements, there was one among the Istari who instead sought the solace of the wilderness, preferring the company of wild creatures to that of kings. To those who might not peer more closely, Radagast the Brown is a gentle hermit, soft in character and mind, often fumbling or fretful, with tattered robes and mismatched footwear, his raiment home to a bewildering menagerie of miniature beasts and fungi. This façade is an illusion so complete eve…

    Max Pinckers (Paperback)
    Max Pinckers (Paperback)
    This trilingual book marks the culmination of ten years of collaboration between the photographer Max Pinckers and the writer Hans Theys, who was given permission to use a personal selection from all of Pinckers' photographs to create a classic photo book without having to take into account their original context. The publication also contains an essay in which Theys discusses Pinckers' oeuvre based on thoughts by Susan Sontag. The book is published to accompany a solo exhibition in the Photo Museum of Antwerp in November 2021.Max Pinckers (b. 1988) is a Belgian artist/photographer. In his work he explores the critical, technological and ideological structures which underpin the creation and consumption of documentary images.

He has received several international prizes, including the Prix Levallois, the Edward Steichen Award Luxembourg and the Leica

    Productomschrijving

    When Stalin came to power, making music in Russia became dangerous. Composers now had to create work that served the socialist state, and all artistic production was scrutinized for potential subversion. In The Sound of Utopia, Michel Krielaars vividly depicts Soviet musicians and composers struggling to create art in a climate of risk, suspicion and fear. Some successfully toed the ideological line, diluting their work in the process; others ended up facing the Gulag or even death. While some, like Sergei Prokofiev, achieved lasting fame, others were consigned to oblivion, their work still hard to find. As Krielaars traces the twists and turns of these artists' fortunes, he paints a fascinating and disturbing portrait of the absurdity of Soviet musical life - and of the people who crafted sublime melodies under the darkest circumstances.
