He is distraught by the notion that he cannot be at one with the cosmic universe and attain the highest form of knowledge. Seeing this, The Devil wagers...

  Lev Tolstoj War and Peace I

  War & Peace

  "I'm not looking for 'War and Peace'” is a modern way of saying "keep it short". However, "I am looking for 'War and Peace'" should be on our lips. Leo Tolstoy's masterpiece is a complete semester of Russian and French history, using the zoom button to focus on its impact on families from the aristocracy to the peasants. 'War and Peace I' introduces the five aristocratic families at the heart of the plot. It paints a picture of petty jealousy, pride and forbidden love in the Russian stately homes...

  James Joyce Ulysses

  On 16 June 1904 Leopold Bloom wanders the streets of Dublin aimlessly as his wife Molly stays at home sleeping with other men. Having been made an involuntary cuckold, Leopold Bloom lets the soles of his shoes wear out on the pavements between the taverns in which his humiliation is acute, and hides in one memory after another as they haunt him in Dublin's wet fog. Leopold Bloom is the Odyssey of the 20th century, but unlike Homer's ancient warrior hero, Bloom is a modern anti-hero that you can't...

  Elisabeth Eybers Winter-surplus

  Winter-surplus bevat `verse in haar vadertaal, het Afrikaans, en `verse in het Engels, haar moedertaal. Wij mogen raden wat het origineel is, en wat de vertaling of kun je daar bij een tweetalige dichter niet van spreken? In ieder geval merken we al doende dat ook op het eerste gezicht eenvoudige poëzie erbij wint wanneer die van twee kanten wordt belicht; nu eens wordt de ironie wrang van narigheid, dan weer verzacht de humor het schrijnen.

  Jos Saramago The Gospel According to Jesus Christ

  Saramago's Jesus is the son not of God but of Joseph. Mary Magdalene is his lover not his convert. In the wilderness he tussles not with the Devil a kindly and necessary evil but with God, a fallible, power-hungry autocrat. And he must die not for the sins of the fathers but for the sins of the Father. By investigating these simple inversions Saramago has woven a dark parable; a secular gospel of astonishing richness and depth.
