Paperback, 170 p., 18 b/w ill., 150 x 235 mm. ISBN 9782503513355. Depuis plus d'un demi-siecle, les historiens et les sociologues se sont beaucoup interesses aux courants de pensee et aux mouvements qui, au cours des siecles, ont lie l'aspiration a un ordre social plus juste ou a une reforme religieuse a l'avenement d'une ere nouvelle, placee sous le signe de la perfection et de la paix, qui durerait jusqu'a la fin des temps. On a longtemps considere ces phenomenes comme des formes de fanatisme ou comme une expression "pre-politique" de la lutte des classes. Sans negliger ces facteurs, le present volume vise a fournir une interpretation equilibree et a jour de ces formes radicales d'attente et d'espoir d'un changement, qui n'ont rien perdu de leur actualite. Languages : French, English, Italian.

gebonden, 260 x 210 mm, 88 pagina's, NL edition. ISBN 9789085867692. In de zeventiende eeuw staat Balthasar I Moretus aan het hoofd van de Plantijnse drukkerij. De barok bloeit volop en dat heeft een grote invloed op hoe het boek evolueert. Balthasar betrekt vooraanstaande kunstenaars bij zijn boekontwerpen. Zo werkt hij voor meer dan twintig projecten met Peter Paul Rubens samen. Ook vandaag spelen uitgevers nog steeds de rol van regisseur in de vernieuwing van het boek, en ook nu is de relatie tussen uitgever en kunstenaars daarbij van belang. Balthasar Moretus en de passie van het uitgeven laat je kennismaken met boeiende uitgeversprojecten waardoor je op een andere manier naar het boek gaat kijken. Je ontdekt hoe uitgever en kunstenaar samen het boek steeds weer heruitvinden

110 pages including index. Through interviews with women who have lived with violent men - husbands, fathers of their children, sweethearts - and through the women's own works, we learn about such relationships. They began as do many marriages and love affairs - in an atmosphere of romance. Only over time did the extreme violence surface. Intended for younger readers. Usual library markings. Light wear. Remains a nice clean copy. Book
