The Girl in Seat 2A

Boldwood Books Limited, 2024. Paperback. Pp: 356. Funny how one lie can spiral.One thing about me: I HATE flying. It's my worst nightmare. That's why I book seat 2A every time I fly.

I deserve it, after all. How to Live Like a Millionaire is the book I'm reading on this flight. When it lands on the floor, a handsome guy hands it back to me. I know he clocks the title, because he's totally charming and talks to me as if I'm one of the Marbella Millionaire set. When I land in sunny Spain, I'll be acting like a millionairess, that's for sure - even if it's stretching the truth, just a bit. We all know that money talks, and I intend to talk my way into a better life. Who knows. maybe this guy, the one who had the cheek to sit down in seat 2C, might be someone special. He has an air of danger, but who cares? Praise for Diana Wilkinson 'A fast paced, edge of the seat thriller that's extremely well executed. I was gripped from the very first page!' L. H.

Jerusalem pilgrimage, 1099-1185

Hakluyt Society, 1988. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 372. In the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem many pilgrims came to Jerusalem. The translations in this book are of seventeen western accounts of pilgrimage, written between 1099 and 1185, and there are two additional accounts from eastern pilgrims, Abbot Daniel from Russia and John Phocas from Antioch. As a whole this collection shows the gradually developing way in which western Christians understood the Holy Places. Some early pilgrims depended on authorities, many of whom by 1099 were out-of-date. They tried to deliver the truth about the Holy Places and to be reticent about their own reactions. But the pilgrims who appear later in the collections made their own archaeological judgements, and were more free about their own reactions. Pilgrimage after 1099 was altered by the fact that by their victory over Jerusalem the Dome of the Rock fell into the Crusader's hands. Otherwise the differences of practice between eastern and western pilgrims were slight. Thus eastern pilgrims visited the Greek and western pilgrims the Latin monasteries. Western pilgrims had a different idea of the location of Emmaus, and before 1185 a western Way of the Cross was beginning to take shape. These were slight differences, and in general all Christian pilgrims, whether from east or west, visited the same Holy Places as they had during the preceding period. Most of the works in this collection were translated into English a century ago by the Palestine Pilgrim's Text Society. But these texts were produced separately as pamphlets, and lacked a general introduction. In this book therefore the texts are retranslated, sometimes from more accurate texts. In introducing the texts some valuable new evidence from archaeology has been used and enabled a new assessment of their dates. ISBN: 9780904180213. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Lodewijk XIV

Veen Media, 2014. Gekartonneerd. Pp: 448. In deze thematisch opgezette biografie, Lodewijk XIV, beschrijft Wilkinson Lodewijks rol als koning, regeringsleider, veldheer en beschermheer van kunsten en wetenschappen in de context van zijn tijd. Hij laat zien waar hij faalde, maar geeft tevens aan dat hij wel degelijk het nodige heeft bereikt. Ook besteedt Wilkinson aandacht aan Lodewijks privéleven. Hoewel de Zonnekoning 24 uur per dag een rol speelde, probeert hij achter zijn 'gouden masker' te kijken. Dit levert een genuanceerd en verrassend beeld op. Richard Wilkinson is een Brits historicus die eerder boeken schreef over de buitenlandse politiek en oorlogen van Lodewijk XIV, en een geschiedenis van Engeland in de zeventiende eeuw.
