Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Belgium Old New With wealth pouring in from all quarters, art natur ally followed in the wake of commerce. Nowhere was the cultivation of architecture more general than in Flan ders. Knowledge of the Middle Ages is so imperfect that little can be written with certainty about the men who designed and built the wondrous cathedrals and guild halls; but it is believed that these superb structures owe the1r origin to a great secret masonic league or guild, bound probably by religious vows, with headquarters in France and the Netherlands, and branches elsewhere in Europe. To a branch of this league are attributed the splendid buildings with which the Netherlands adorned the twelfth and fifteenth centuries. Chief among these buildings were the cathedrals of Flanders and Brabant (motley). Burgher opulence and energy are grandly and vigorously expressed in the secular buildings of these towns. For example, we have the Hall of the Cloth Makers (destroyed in at Ypres; Town Hall at Bruges, 1284; Council House at Bruges, 1377; Council House at Brussels, 1401 - 5 5; the still more magnificent Town Hall at Louvain, belonging to the second half of the fifteenth century; and that at Oudenarde, built in 1527 - (destroyed in 1915) (lubke's History of Art.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Glory of Belgium: A Tribute and a Chronicle Though Belgium cannot claim to have influenced our English literature to nearly the same extent as have many other European countries, yet the two nations have mostly lived in a close fellow ship and some of our poets have sung of that noble plot of land which became the Kingdom of Belgium in 1830. That part of the Old province of Flanders now forming a portion of Belgium claims a fair share of these poetical tributes, and seems often to have been visited by English armies, for the most part friendly, since Van Artevelde sought the aid of Edward III. Against French influence. Belgium has now earned the undying gratitude and admiration of our country and her Allies, and it is therefore hoped this small selection of poems may not be without a unique interest to all lovers of poetry, for there has of late been a large addition from which to choose made to our English verse bearing one way or another on Belgium - a revival, on an even greater scale, of the outpourings of poets when inspired by the great events culminating in Waterloo.

The express thundered into the station, and stopped. The window was lowered in a first class compartment, and a lady's small, neatly gloved hand appeared over the side, making an ineffectual attempt to open the door from the outside. This manoeuvre caught the guard's eye; he sprang forward and swung the door wide Open. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Belgium and "the Scrap of Paper" There are two ways of regarding such a crime as the German invasion of Belgium. The natural impulse of every normal man, as he realised, first that a treaty had been broken, and then that an unprovoked invasion had been aggravated by more than the common ruthlessness of war, was one of honest anger. There was every justification for that anger. It is an axiom of the law of nations, older by far than the Hague Convention, that the territory of neutrals is inviolable, and in this case Belgium was no ordinary neutral. Perpetual neutrality had been imposed upon her by the Powers, and Prussia signed the treaty which established it. Belgium was the vestal virgin of Europe. Her security was a claim on the honour of her neighbours, and the Power which threatens it, is guilty of something worse. Than an attack on Bel gium. It has weakened the fabric of faith and honesty among peoples, substituted force for law in their intercourse, and delayed the march of civilisation. These are abstract words; it is. A heavier count against Germany that she has rendered hundreds of thousands of Belgians homeless, and made widows and orphans among a people which had done her no wrong.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bottled Up in Belgium: The Last Delegate's Informal Story There have been times when I thought that the people who have been at home have been the ones who have seen things and experienced emotions. There were days in February and March, 1917, when the men in Belgium had a sense of being far away from the real march of events. For the thrills they had to depend upon the meager bits of news that leaked in. They brought blazing visions.

This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dog of Flanders; The Nurnberg Stove; And Other Stories A dog of Flanders - yellow of hide, large of head and limb, with wolf-like ears that stood erect, and legs bowed and feet widened in the muscular development wrought in his breed by many generations of hard service. Patrasche came of a race which had toiled hard and cruelly from sire to son in Flanders many a century - slaves of slaves, dogs of the people, beasts of the shafts and the harness, creatures that lived straining their sinews in the gall of the cart, and died breaking their hearts on the flints of the streets. Patrasche had been born of parents who had labored hard all their days over the sharp-set stones of the various cities and the long, shadowless, weary roads of the two Flanders and of Brabant. He had been born to no other heritage than those of pain and of toil. He had been fed on curses and baptized with blows. Why not '2 It was a Christian country, and Patrasche was but a dog. Before he was fully grown he had known the bitter gall of the cart and the collar. Before he had entered his thirteenth month he had become the property of a hardware-dealer, who was accustomed to wander over the land north and south, from the blue sea to the green mountains. They sold him for a small price, because he was so young. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * A nostalgic look at the most beautiful traditional cafes in Belgium and the stories they harbor"North or South, the soul of Belgium is in its cafés. I don't know of any book that captures their soul more beautifully and accurately than this one." - Joe Stange, CAMRA's Good Beer Guide Belgium This book is an ode to Belgium's traditional beer cafés, to their landlords and -ladies, and to the regular customers who have become part of the interior. It is also a plea to handle the café patrimony of Belgium with the greatest care. Because we have been taking these little cafés for granted for far too long and now their existence has become fragile, despite the fact that they are an important part of our social and cultural heritage. Regula Ysewijn is a Belgian culinary historian, writer, and photographer. She focuses on food and social history or Britain and the Low countries and consults for organisations such as the UK's National Trust, TV programmes and museums. Ysewijn is the author of six books among which: Pride and Pudding and Oats in the North, Wheat From the South have received international acclaim. She is also a judge on the Flemish version of the Great British Bake Off. For this book Regula visited 45 traditional cafés in Belgium. From the oldest café in the country (it opened in 1515) to the oldest Belgian café landlady, Juliette, who is 96. She visited cafés with beautiful Art Deco interiors, and cafés with the charm and warmth of a living room. In each of these establishments she talked to the landlords and -ladies and to the people who have become part or the soul of these cafés, and she managed to capture all of this in beautiful, touching photographs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Campaign of in France and Belgium IT needs but little research to lead the fair-minded student to the conclusion that, behind the immediate causes Of the great war, there were others Of Old standing and wider pur port, combinations and divisions Of interest which, for many years, had brought upon the European family penalties only less heavy than those Of open conflict. Several times Of late, the same States had narrowly escaped this calamity; and, in the teeth Of a growing desire for settled peace, the preparations for war on land and sea were everywhere stead ily increased. These increases Of armament (as in the Anglo German naval rivalry, and the German and French return to three-years army service) were always dangerous, not only as direct threats, but, indirectly, as alterations Of the balance Of means to ends other than national defense, the most important Of which ends were the acquirement Of (1) foreign possessions, (2) Spheres Of special or exclusive eco nomic interest, (3) political predominance, either in Europe generally, or in particular areas. Every one of the Great, and several of the small, Powers had fished in these troubled waters; and there was not one Of them that could Show perfectly clean hands. Even Belgium, not so long since, was being held accountable for the heritage Of misrule in the Congo. There were no angelic States; all had dabbled in the imperial vices, from land-grabbing to diplomatic intrigue. Nevertheless, it may be said that there were many and not inconsiderable differences in the bias Of their policy, due, for the most part, neither to original sin, nor to abnormal virtue, but to historical and geographical circumstances for.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Culturgeschichtliche Novellen It is as in some sort an introduction to such a study of German as I have endeavoured to indicate, so far as this is possible under the limitations of a commentary on a given text, that the present volume has been prepared. The notes are numerous and copious, but I trust they will commend themselves as not of the kind that paralyse the student's own mental activity by superseding the necessity for it; but rather as stimulating it by presenting suitable material in a workable form, and furnishing guidance in such a way as to lead to future independence. The material has of course been supplied in the first place by the text itself. This has been to a small extent supplemented, but chiefly elucidated and illustrated, by matter drawn from sources many of them inaccessible to the English reader. A not inconsiderable element may lay some claim to origi nality, and perhaps this will be the most valuable part of the book to the real student, because treating from the objective standpoint of the foreigner, specially of the Englishman, matters of idiomatic difficulty upon which only scattered hints are to be found in sources English or German. I may refer particularly to the notes on the particles, on the exact force, as felt in the original, of words like erst, z'ibrzlgms, vol lends, &c., and of certain familiar but peculiar modes of con ception and expression which are too completely ingrained in the consciousness of a native for him easily to make them the objects of analysis or of explanation to others.
