Geschichte Belgiens

byChristoph Driessen

Genres: Nonfiction Modern History and Current Affairs

Who is this book for? Readers interested in Belgian history and culture, as well as those who enjoy engaging nonfiction narratives.

Hätten Sie gedacht, dass Gent im Mittelalter größer war als London? Dass Belgien aus einem Opernabend hervorging? Oder dass Brüssel nur deshalb EU-Hauptstadt ist, weil B der zweite Buchstabe des Alphabets ist? Die Geschichte Belgiens ist surreal wie ein Bild von René Magritte und dabei spannend wie ein Krimi mit Hercule Poirot. Dennoch wurde sie bisher in Deutschland völlig vernachlässigt – dieses Buch ist die erste Gesamtdarstellung überhaupt. Christoph Driessen führt seine Leser in die frühkapitalistischen Städte des Mittelalters, auf die Schlachtfelder des Ersten Weltkriegs und in die Regenwälder von Belgisch-Kongo. Illustrationen, Kurzporträts von Pieter Bruegel bis Jacques Brel und Stichwörter von „Comics“ bis „Pommes frites“ lockern die Darstellung auf. Ein Buch, das in jeder Hinsicht überrascht!
