De keuze van Pluskowski om het soms wat tendentieuze materiaal van de middeleeuwse kronieken aan te vullen met archeologisch onderzoek resulteert in een vollediger beeld van de Baltische kruistochten dan voorheen. Ook de hoofdstukken over hoe de krui ...more

Mathijs Loo rated a book really liked it Elize by Elisabeth Johanna Hasebroek	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
Dit boek was de allereerste psychologische roman die in Nederland geschreven is (1839). Soms lastig te lezen door het wat verouderde taalgebruik, maar het zit voor een liefdesroman best aardig in elkaar.

Jeetje. Het handelen van de hoofdpersonen is soms echt enorm naïef, weinig groei in de personages. Aardig plot, maar een iets te ongeloofwaardig einde.

Mathijs Loo and 7 other people liked Joris van de Riet's review of Een hoeksteen in het verzuild bestel. De vrije universiteit 1880-2005.: "Hahaha stel dat je hele universiteitsgeschiedenis in één boek past (chauvinistische Leidse geluiden gaan hier) Dingen die A.Th. van Deursen niet leuk vindt: - universiteitsraad - marxisme - marxistische universiteitsraad"
