Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Belgium The national culture Of Belgium is a synthesis, if I may so call it, where one finds the genius of two races - the Romance and the Germanic - mingled, yet modified by the imprint of the distinctively Belgian. It is in that very receptivity - the fact that it has absorbed and unified the best elements of Latin and Teutonic civilization - that the originality of the Belgian national culture resides.

Download or read book Belgium and the Belgians Classic Reprint written by Cyril Scudamore and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Belgium and the Belgians The object of the present work is not that of a guide-book, but rather to convey that information respecting Belgium and its people which we look for in vain in the excellent topographical works of Baedeker, Murray, Grant Allen, Ward & Lock, Lindley, and Jean d'Ardenne. In the chapter on "The Holiday Ground of Belgium" the writer has endeavoured to describe faithfully a tour made by him in the summer of 1899 through the Liege district and the Ardennes. He does not profess to have discovered anything new or strange; but as he has carefully avoided describing any place which he has not recently visited, he believes that his narrative may possibly be of use to those who may wish to undertake a similar excursion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Old Belgium Some of these verses I was fortunate enough to be able to write within View of the deeds that they inadequately reflect. Most are my own; a few are translations or adaptations of Belgian soldier-songs; a pair were composed before the present war and later altered; part of one I heard chanted, and seemingly improvised, by a maddened woman amid the ruins of Louvain. In its original the rhythm of The Belgian marching-song was rather like the inimitable Marching Song by Berton Braley, and this similarity I have tried to increase. I should add that Little Old Belgium is not merely an American slang phrase: the Belgian soldier af fectionately designates his country as Belgique.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Belgium's Agony A Few weeks after the outbreak of war the newspapers, in an obscure paragraph, stated that German artillery had bombarded the Flemish village of Saint-Amand, near Antwerp. Nearly simultaneously, but in numerous and prominent columns, they described the wanton and ruthless destruction of the ancient university city of Louvain. Thirdly, on August 24, began the great British retreat from the line Mons-Conde, the retreat to south-westward that experts hold to rank among the finest military achievements of history. And between these three happenings there is a connecting link other than the tremendous struggle of which they form a part, a link to which subsequent events and, most of all, this little book have given a melancholy and tragic interest.

The graphic account he had given of Belgian refugees flocking out of Antwerp led us to believe that he was one who could well and profitably tell our boys and girls how those of their own age live in a land that has become the center of so great interest.

Download or read book The Past and the Future of Belgium Classic Reprint written by Albert J. Carnoy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Past and the Future of Belgium Belgium has been placed in special prominence by her situation at the center of the greatest fight in history and by her noble attitude during a long period of indescribable sufferings. Many a name of her cities and villages has been associated for ever with deeds of glory or shame. Many a name of her sons has been added to the list of heroes who have suffered for ideals dear to mankind. The German intrigues as well as the discussions at the Peace Conference have acquainted the whole world with special aspects of Belgian nationality and Belgian politics. But all this has been very fragmentary information, and numerous are the persons in America who have the most friendly interest for Belgium but know very little of that country, her aspects, her inhabitants, the essential facts of her history, the main features of her national character. Particulars as to the amount of destruction wrought by the Germans and about the part played by Belgium in the war are also very desirable; but above all, in connection with the restoration of the country and with its future, it will be helpful to provide reliable and clear information to all those who may come in contact with a nation that has now indelible bonds of friendship with the United States. Both countries will remain associated during the period of re construction and it is desirable that they know one another. This is the idea which has inspired the present booklet which in a condensed form treats of Belgium, her glorious past, her ideals, her part in the war, her problems in the near future, her possibilities, her place in the new world.
