Paperback. Etat : New. Thirty-year-old Theresa Pellikaan is typical of the wealthy middle classes - with her respectable background, successful husband and house in an apparently sleepy, yet powerful, rich village. She works in a gallery, also typical of her type. When her former schoolmate Ruth Ackermann, brought up in the same village, makes waves with an international bestseller, but none of the villagers ever mention her achievement, not even the literary circle of Theresa's father, famous civil rights scholar Randolf Pellikaan, Theresa begins to wonder why. It can't only be because it's not 'literature'. It emerges that there is a dark secret in the village. Every member of the book club has a reason to keep quiet and Ruth Ackerman's novel threatens to bring the past into the present, with devastating results. Unable to cope with the silence, Theresa investigates, no matter the consequences.…

Hardback. Etat : New. In autumn 2012, writer and philosopher Maxim Februari - known until then as Marjolijn Februari - announced that he intended to live as a man. The reactions that greeted Februari, ranging from interest to concern and unease, made it clear that most of us don't know what or how to think about transsexuality. Drawing on deeply personal experiences, The Making of a Man: Notes on Transsexuality explores this lack of understanding about gender, sex and identity.The process of changing sex is a lengthy one, but to the outside world it takes place as a fairly abrupt switch. Over just 24 hours, as the testosterone took effect, Februari started to find himself addressed as a man rather than a woman. 'What had changed?', he asks. 'I hadn't had a haircut, I wasn't wearing different clothes; it was just that the testosterone had altered the subtle signals by which my body suggested its sex.'How are the sexual organs altered in a sex change? What are the clinical effects of testosterone? How is transsexuality dealt with by the law? This book covers these questions and many more. It also challenges the words we use to describe sex and gender, such as the seemingly minor but critical difference between the terms 'transsexual' and 'transgender', explores our stereotypes of effeminate men and butch women, and looks at the fine line between acceptance and prejudice. Februari also discusses the curious requirement in many countries that one must demonstrate a psychological disturbance - a 'gender identity disorder' - to be granted sex change therapy.With his characteristically clear voice combined with intimate - sometimes moving, sometimes funny - ruminations, The Making of a Man wakes readers up to the ways, big and small, that our world is structured by sex and gender.…

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. In autumn 2012, the writer and philosopher Maxim Februari, known until then as Marjolijn Februari, announced his intention to live as a man. In The Making of a Man he describes how the news was greeted and how people began to react: with unease, interest and sometimes a slightly too comradely tone. Whatever the response, there was always an element of ignorance - hardly anyone seemed to understand what a sex change actually involved or how best to react to it. The Making of a Man is a unique and moving account of Februari's experiences, an intimate and humorous tale written by a distinctive voice. Februari analyses and describes, charts and enquires. Above all, he makes us think. In autumn 2012, the writer and philosopher Maxim Februari, known until then as Marjolijn Februari, announced his intention to live as a man.

Hardcover. Etat : Good. First Edition. Bodo Klein heeft zich op het ministerie van Veiligheid onmogelijk gemaakt en moet een paar weken in de luwte blijven. Zo kan hij mooi een opdracht uitvoeren voor zijn minister: hij wordt op pad gestuurd om verdachte uitspraken te onderzoeken van de wereldberoemde spreker Alexei Krups. Helaas komt op hetzelfde moment de familie van zijn vrouw logeren. Alexei Krups reist intussen rond met een bejubelde lezing over digitale technologie. Door het gebruik van data en kunstmatige intelligentie zullen de roman en de politiek teloorgaan, waarschuwt hij opgewekt. Halverwege zijn tournee merkt Krups tot zijn verbazing dat hij een groot expert is geworden op het gebied van alle denkbare technologieën. Zijn roem dwingt hem steeds boudere uitspraken te doen. Maar wat weet hij er eigenlijk van? 'De grootste vraag van de huidige tijd is hoe de mens greep houdt op zijn leefwereld', zegt een collega van Alexei Krups. Leren we de wereld en de mens beter begrijpen door de vooruitgang? Of zorgt het menselijk tekort ervoor dat we juist alle controle verliezen? Schrijver, jurist en filosoof Maxim Februari debuteerde in 1989 met de roman De zonen van het uitzicht en ontpopte zich in de bijna dertig jaar die volgden tot een van de scherpzinnigste en origineelste denkers van ons taalgebied. In 2007 publiceerde hij de grote roman De literaire kring, die nationaal en internationaal bejubeld werd. Het boek won de Annie Romein-Verschoorprijs en behaalde de shortlist van de Libris Literatuurprijs en de Gouden Uil Literatuurprijs en de longlist van de International impac Dublin Literary Award. In 2008 ontving Februari de Frans Kellendonkprijs voor zijn gehele oeuvre. Over De literaire kring: 'De combinatie van eruditie en luchtigheid maakt De literaire kring tot een zeer aangenaam boek. Ondanks de zwaarte van het onderwerp is het licht van toon, beschaafd humoristisch.' DANIËLLE SERDIJN, DE VOLKSKRANT 'Een boek als een lentebries zo verkwikkend, licht en hoopgevend, en tegelijkertijd als een vuistslag, zo woedend en superieur.' MARJA PRUIS, DE GROENE AMSTERDAMMER; Goed / zeer goed .…

Softcover. Etat : Good. First Edition. 'Hij is een origineel schrijver en denker en een geweldig stilist, met niet zelden een fijnzinnig gevoel voor humor. Hij maakt nieuwsgierig, zet aan tot denken en is kritisch op een zeer unieke manier.' Zo beschreef de jury van de J.H. Heldringprijs 2018 het werk van Maxim Februari, schrijver van romans, verhalen, essays en columns waarin de grote thema's van deze tijd erudiet worden besproken, met oog voor de eigenaardigheden van het dagelijks leven. In De onbetrouwbare verteller werpt Februari nieuw licht op zijn oude overtuigingen. Zijn kerngedachte is dat je de complexiteit van het bestaan niet kunt samenvatten in modellen en rationalisaties. Als je probeert greep op de wereld te krijgen door te schrijven, ontgaat je de essentie. Ook de toekomst valt niet met data en formele taal te voorspellen, die kun je alleen vormgeven door zelf te handelen. Liefst met moed, betrouwbaarheid en enig plezier. De onbetrouwbare verteller is een selectie eerder verschenen essays, columns en lezingen. Plus een kort verhaal, 'Razernij', waarin het psychologische portret wordt geschetst van een jongeman die onverwacht iets niet wil. Schrijver, jurist en filosoof Maxim Februari is een van de scherpzinnigste en origineelste denkers van ons taalgebied. Hij is de auteur van bejubelde romans ( Klont en De literaire kring), essays en columns. In 2008 ontving Februari de Frans Kellendonkprijs voor zijn gehele oeuvre, en in 2018 de J.H. Heldringprijs voor columnistiek.…

Etat : Good. First Edition. Wie een blik op de literaire canon werpt, ziet dat de hoofdrollen aan mannen zijn toebedeeld. Als ze niet agressief zijn (Fight Club), zijn ze idealistisch ('Titaantjes') of geil (De Taal der Liefde). En steevast opgetekend door een man. Zo bekeken zijn deze boeken een afspiegeling van de worsteling van de man met de man. Maar hoe moeten we ons verhouden tot deze masculiene leeslijst in tijden van #MeToo en Jordan Peterson, waarin de man is uitgegroeid tot de problematische sekse? Moeten we de boeken die ons de afgelopen decennia hebben verteld wat een man is en kan zijn dan maar ongelezen laten? Of kunnen we, nu mannelijkheid even hard wordt verdedigd als bestreden, het lezen van mannelijke klassiekers als een daad van nieuwsgierigheid, om niet te zeggen subversiviteit, beschouwen? Jongens waren we biedt een caleidoscopische blik op mannelijkheid in de literatuur en onderwerpt klassiekers aan een nieuwe lezing. Van Baldwin tot Bordewijk, van Bellow tot Birney. Met essays van onder anderen Marja Pruis, Rob van Essen, Maxim Februari, Ni?a Weijers, Lotfi El Hamidi, Theodor Holman, Joost de Vries, Rasit Elibol en Miriam Rasch.; .…
