Bound without the half-titles, a few scattered stains but overall a very good set. "The busy period of the great Civil War was one in which the character and genius of different parties were most brilliantly displayed, and, accordingly, the incidents which took place on either side were of a striking and extraordinary character, and afforded ample foundation for fictitious composition." (Introduction) Woodstock, or The Cavalier: A Tale of the Year Sixteen Hundred and Fifty-one is a historical novel by Walter Scott. Set just after the English Civil War, it was inspired by the legend of the Good Devil of Woodstock, which in 1649 supposedly tormented parliamentary commissioners who had taken possession of a royal residence at Woodstock, Oxfordshire. The story deals with the escape of Charles II in 1652, during the Commonwealth, and his final triumphant entry into London on 29 May 1660. Todd & Bowden, 190A. .

P. Wiegersma 140940 - Postbode van de hemel. Verhalen over kunst en kunstenaars

Paperback. Verhalen over ontmoetingen met o.a. Haile Selassie, Rik Wouters, Ossip Zadkine, Constant Permeke, Charles Albert Cingria. ´Dat eens zo grote beroemdheden in onze tijd uit de vergetelheid te voorschijn gehaald worden is een grote verdienste van zulke vertellers als Pieter Wiegersma.» - Albert Helman in 1996 In de jaren dertig, en in vele jaren daarna, kende Nederland een unieke plek waar, toen nog onbekende, kunstenaars van binnen en van ver over de grenzen elkaar troffen, zoals de Zwitserse schrijver Charles Albert Cingria, de Belgische schilder en beeldhouwer Constant Permeke en de uit Rusland afkomstige Franse beeldhouwer Ossip Zadkine. Plaats van samenkomst was niet Amsterdam of Den Haag, maar Deurne, middenin de Brabantse Peel ten huize van Hendrik Wiegersma, de schilder en legendarische arts op wie Anton Coolen zijn roman Dorp aan de rivier baseerde. Meer dan eens vertrok het gezelschap naar Parijs om ook daar te duelleren met het potlood of het woord. Pieter Wiegersma (1920), zoon van en zelf beeldend kunstenaar, groeide op in deze kunstanaarsscene en maakte hen allen van jongs af mee. Sindsdien heeft hij een open oog en oor voor de kwaliteiten van anderen, weet hij als geen ander dat ook de clochard of de vergeten kunstenaar zijn verhaal heeft en staat zijn leven in het teken van de kunst. Zo is hij initiatiefnemer van museum De Wieger in Deurne. Vijftien verhalen over kunstzaken, zoals de stoel van Van Gogh, de bronzen penning van keizer Haile Selassie, De Zeug van Rik Wouters, over Solemis en andere Â'postboden van de hemel’, zoals de kunstenaars Ossip Zadkine, Constant Permeke, Charles Albert Cingria en Hendrik Wiegersma, opgetekend door Pieter Wiegersma, de ooggetuige die hen overleefde. ´Onderhoudend» (De Limburger), ´komisch» (Het Parool), ´krachtig» (Standaard der Letteren). ISBN: 9789062654390. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
