Tussen reis en rootsHeb je ooit al eens een pintje gedronken in 't Cafeeke in Madrid? Ken jij het verhaal van de Belgische vrouw die in de harem van de Ottomaanse sultan is beland? Wie is 'the flemish mother of America', of die Belgische architect die Barcelona heeft helpen bouwen? Er is een grote kans dat je nu je hoofd schudt of je schouders ophaalt. Kunstenaars, handelslui en avonturiers uit onze contreien hebben in voorgaande eeuwen nochtans heel wat stukjes erfgoed

Heb je ooit al eens een pintje gedronken in 't Cafeeke in Madrid? Ken jij het verhaal van de Belgische vrouw die in de harem van de Ottomaanse sultan is beland? Wie is 'the flemish mother of America', of die Belgische architect die Barcelona heeft helpen bouwen?

Er is een grote kans dat je nu je hoofd schudt of je schouders ophaalt. Kunstenaars, handelslui en avonturiers uit onze contreien hebben in voorgaande eeuwen nochtans heel wat stukjes erfgoed nagelaten in Europa en Amerika. Helaas zijn veel van deze Belgische sporen in de vergeethoek geraakt.

Gelauwerd reisjournalist Erik Brusten heeft het afgelopen decennium intens het kruim van de Europese cultuursteden bereisd. Daarbij deed hij een verrassende ontdekking: in tal van steden zijn veel (onvermoede) sporen terug te vinden van fiamminghi en flamencos, zoals Vlamingen en Walen vroeger werden genoemd.

'Tussen reis en roots' bundelt een hele hoop grote en kleine Belgische verhalen en anekdotes uit Barcelona, Berlijn, Istanbul, Londen, New York, Parijs, Rome
en vele andere wereldsteden. Deze speciale gids is met veel zorg samengesteld en meermaals op het terrein uitgetest. Ga zelf op verkenning en ontdek deze vergeten 'Belgische' plekjes die je op een andere manier doen kijken naar je favoriete citytrips: ze zullen nooit meer hetzelfde zijn!

Erik Brusten (Leuven, °1962) is VRT-redacteur en is daarnaast actief als reisjournalist. Hij levert toeristische reportages en bijdragen in De Standaard Magazine, hét vakblad voor de reissector Travel Express, Artsenkrant/De Apotheker en Pasar.
Erik Brusten is laureaat van de Walter Baekeprijs voor de beste professionele verslaggeving over de reissector.

Well argued
Format: Paperback
Perhaps I should say at once that giving this slim but meaty volume five stars doesn't mean I personally agree with it. It has been many years since I have subscribed to the substitutionary theory of Jesus' death or the idea that the Bible is anything other than a record of human interfaces with the Unknown. But a review is not the place to argue such points at length. Also, it behooves people who want to think, to seek out alternate and even opposing points of view, in order to test and maybe revise their ideas. Jeremy Treat did not change my mind, but he might have if I held the same view he apparently does of Scripture. He argues well, clearly, and persuasively, and makes a Christianity grounded on this view look at least potentially like a pretty good basis for decent living. There are one or two points that troubled me a little. The concept that Jesus died for us as a community is sound in itself, but if carried to extremes looks very much like the idea that underlay the infamous religious wars and persecutions. Also, on page 86, Treat says: "Forgiveness is not merely dismissing a wrong. My wife and I teach our children that when someone apologizes to them, they should not respond by simply saying, 'It's okay' … To truly forgive, one acknowledges the wrongdoing but chooses to not hold it against the wrongdoer. Forgiveness is … accepting the penalty on behalf of the wrongdoer for the sake of the relationship. It is absorbing the pain yourself rather than seeking to put it back on the other person." Now, to me, this looks like such a clear recipe for Trouble that I very much wish Treat provided several examples for how, exactly, he sees it working in everyday life. Sometimes, as when the apology is a "Sorry" for inadvertently jostling you in a crowd, the simple "It's okay" seems to me by far the best response. These few possible danger points, however, should be understood in the context of the book as a whole, which gives me the very strong impression of a practical pastor who knows his stuff, makes things hang coherently together, and probably gives useful and comforting counsel. I'm guessing, by his book, that he is a man I'd enjoy talking with in person.

Great sink organizer!
Good quality storage/organizer for the kitchen sink. It’s stable and can hold an assortment of dish cleaning products close to the sink. It has a plastic dish underneath to collect drip-off water. This is exactly what I needed to organize!

Great kitchen organizer
I love this handy kitchen sink organizer! I like things to be neat and tidy. This little product does the trick! It holds my dish liquid, hand soap, brushes, disposal cover and my sponges. The size is perfect and it looks great next to my sink. The organizer is made of metal and is built very well. It even has a drip pan. No more stuff all around the sink. This keeps it all organized so well. Love it!
