Winter in Wartime
An award-winning children's classic. A gripping story about the horrors and dilemmas of war As the Second World War approaches its end, the Netherlands is still under Nazi control and any acts of resistance are punishable by death. But when fifteen-year-old Michiel is asked to take care of a British Spitfire pilot he doesn't think twice. He joins the secret struggle against the Nazis, working every day to end the occupation and protect those in danger from it, knowing all the time that spies are everywhere and one loose word could cost him his life... Winter in Wartime is a thrilling, powerful and inspiring adventure story, based on the author's own experiences as a child in Nazi-occupied Holland. Jan Terlouw was born in the Netherlands in 1931. He worked as a nuclear physicist in countries across the world before entering politics as a representative of the Dutch D66 party in 1971. Alongside his political career he has written many successful children's books, including Winter in Wartime which was based on his own memories of the Nazi occupation. It won the Golden Pen Prize for the best Dutch children's book in 1973 and has since been adapted for film and stage.

Rampen
Rampen zijn bepalend geweest voor de geschiedenis van Nederland. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan de Sint-Elisabethsvloed in 1421, toen mensen, dieren en dorpen verdronken. Het landschap veranderde voorgoed. Of aan de Bijlmerramp in 1992, toen een vliegtuig neerstortte in de Bijlmermeer. Er ging een schokgolf door het hele land. De publieke reactie op rampen volgt opvallend vaak eenzelfde stramien, al zijn er natuurlijk ook verschillen. Al eeuwenlang zoeken burgers in tijden van rampspoed houvast in culturele en religieuze rituelen. Ze organiseren liefdadigheidsactiviteiten, benefietconcerten en herdenkingen. De media sturen, steeds meer, de waarneming en publiceren sensationele verhalen over slachtoffers, vorstelijk bezoek en wonderbaarlijke reddingen. Ze wijzen oorzaken en schuldigen aan. Dit rijkgeïllustreerde boek laat zien hoe de Nederlandse samenleving direct en praktisch reageert op rampen en hoe ze daarna voortleven in de culturele herinnering. Schilderijen, monumenten, boeken, documentaires en films dragen kennis én mythes over op volgende generaties. Van de Allerheiligenvloed in 1570 tot de Watersnoodramp in 1953, van de Delftse donderslag in 1654 tot de vuurwerkramp in Enschede in 2000 en van de middeleeuwse pestepidemieën tot de recente coronapandemie. Lotte Jensen is hoogleraar Nederlandse literatuur- en cultuurgeschiedenis aan de Radboud Universiteit in Nijmegen. Ze doet onderzoek naar nationale identiteitsvorming, rampverwerking, Nederlandse letterkunde en geschiedenis. Ze publiceerde onder meer Verzet tegen Napoleon en Wij en het water. Een Nederlandse geschiedenis. Met Rick Honings schreef ze de literatuurgeschiedenis Romantici en revolutionairen. Literatuur en schrijverschap in Nederland in de 18de en 19de eeuw.
