In this tense and clever novel, Henry James lays out with perfect clarity what not to do when your child becomes one of divorce, as in do the absolute opposite of everything Maise‘s parents do.

Like Charles Dickens before him, Henry James...

geschiedenis van een eliteschool

De exclusiviteit en kennis van sociale codes leidden tot een hoogopgeleide klasse met een gevoel van wederzijdse herkenning. Wat bepaalt de wonderlijke aantrekkingskracht van die geheimtaal?...

The School of Life Wat je op school niet hebt geleerd
Onze schooltijd voelt waarschijnlijk aan als een heel erg lange periode. We maakten ons huiswerk en leerden ongetwijfeld fascinerende dingen over formules, de erosie van gletsjers, de middeleeuwen en werkwoordsvormen in vreemde talen. Maar waarom leerden we – ondanks alle vakken die we hebben gevolgd – nooit over de écht belangrijke dingen die ons nu bezighouden? Het vinden van een geschikte partner, hoe we anderen kunnen vertrouwen, hoe we onszelf moeten begrijpen, hoe we om moeten gaan met rouw,...
