Evelyn Waugh (1903-1966) fue un escritor y periodista inglés nacido en Londres. Tras la desilusión de una juventud vivida con desenfreno y la separación de su mujer, se convirtió al catolicismo en 1930. Comenzó su carrera como autor con la publicación de varios libros y continuó con sus obras más conocidas: *Retorno a Brideshead*, y las novelas sobre santa Elena y san Edmundo Campion, entre otros. D. Emilio Domínguez Díaz, doctor en Humanidades y Filología Inglesa, y autor de varios libros, nos acerca a este influyente autor del siglo XX en este programa de «Entre Profesionales».

De winterboekeneditie van Betrouwbare Bronnen weerspiegelt de turbulentie rond het leiderschap van deze tijd. Mark Rutte fietste weg van het Torentje, Dries van Agt stierf hoogbejaard na een rijk leven, van Ruud Lubbers kwam een monumentale biografie uit en Ruttes favoriete collega Angela Merkel schreef haar autobiografie. Olaf Scholz viel, net als Rishi Sunak en Michel Barnier. En met Dick Schoof kwam een premier aan het roer die lijkt op een romanfiguur van Robert Musil, Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften.Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger bespreken boeken die allerlei dimensies en verhalen bevatten over premiers, politieke leiders en hun leven en werk. En wat wij daarvan kunnen leren.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***1] Jaap de Haan - De eerste minister van de Republiek (Amsterdam University Press)Wie waren de Ruud en Mark van de Gouden Eeuw? Jaap de Haan promoveerde op het functioneren en regeren door de burgerlijke leider van die heel aparte staat, de Republiek, dus van de raadspensionaris. Hij laat zien, dat zij veel weg hadden van machtige mannen elders in Europa die onder een absolute monarch de touwtjes in handen hielden. Een Richelieu, een Cromwell of een Metternich.Johan van Oldebarnevelt maakte deze functie als geen ander en die machtspositie kostte hem letterlijk de kop. Johan de Witt kon regeren zonder een Oranjeprins en domineerde, hoewel hij Ruttiaans bescheiden deed. Toen ook hij ten onder ging in 1672 kwam de minder bekende Gaspar Fagel aan het bewind. En juist die blijkt in dit boek een erg leerzame en handige leider te zijn geweest. Met prins Willem III speelde hij good cop, bad cop. Zo pakten ze samen de stad Amsterdam aan!2] Robert Harris – Afgrond (Cargo)Een roman over een premier? Jazeker, en wat voor een. Robert Harris komt met een huzarenstukje, een spannende detective over waargebeurde verwikkelingen tussen de man in Downing Street 10 en een societygirl van adel.Herbert Asquith was obsessioneel verliefd en schreef Venetia Stanley honderden brieven terwijl de Eerste Wereldoorlog uitbrak. Staatsgeheimen, verslagen van de ministerraad, telegrammen van de tsaar, het rolde allemaal in haar brievenbus. Het is alsof Evelyn Waugh een Downton Abbey tv-serie schrijft vermengd met geopolitieke explosies en een gisse jongen van de Secret Service, die op het spoor komt van Venetia. Hoe loopt dit af?3] Remieg Arts, Coen Brummer, Gertjan Schutte (red.) – Machtswoorden (Prometheus)Premiers zijn vaak schrijvers. Hun woorden hebben impact. Als ideoloog, als strateeg, als memoiresauteur en soms zelfs als romancier. Denk maar aan Benjamin Disraeli! Machtswoorden is een rijk en origineel boek met een reeks essays over politici als auteurs en hoe schrijven en ook op die wijze boodschappen verspreiden door en door politiek kan zijn.De kinderboeken van Jan Terlouw, de duizenden krantenstukken van Abraham Kuyper, de sociale essays van Sam van Houten, politieke brochures tegen het koloniaal bewind in Indië en de persoonlijke worstelingen en belevenissen van de eerste generatie allochtone politici, het zijn allemaal bijzondere genres die soms van grote betekenis blijken voor politiek denken en handelen.Een verrassende ontdekking in de bundel is de radicale democraat en pro-Franse patriot Pieter Vreede. Hij was als politiek auteur buitengewoon actief en controversieel. Pleegde een staatsgreep, maar moest uiteindelijk na Napoleons val zoete broodjes bakken met het Oranjehuis. Een leven waarin vele regimes elkaar opvolgden en Vreede steeds weer zijn nek uitstak.4] Auke van der Woud - De steden, de Mensen 1850-1900 (Prometheus)Auke van der Woud is de Jürgen Osterhammel van ons land. Hij beschrijft de transformatie van Nederland in de 19e eeuw. Zijn boek analyseert hoe na 1850 het verpauperde land in een ongekende 'Tweede Gouden Eeuw' ontpopte tot een wereldwijd actieve, expansionistische economische macht.Hij maakt ook korte metten met legendes als die van de 'kanalenkoning' Willem I die zo'n vooruitziende blik zou hebben gehad. En analyseert waarom premier Thorbecke zo cruciaal was. Hij gaf bestuurlijk, economisch en logistiek het land een redesign en ontketende nieuwe economische en financiële krachten.Voor premier Schoof en minister Sophie Hermans is het deel van dit boek over de energietransitie van die decennia toen verplicht leesvoer. Wat Kees Vendrik in Betrouwbare Bronnen 471 'de grootste verbouwing van Nederland ooit' noemde, heeft een voorloper gehad, waarbij alle uitdagingen van nu zich evenzeer aandienden.5] Robert Caro - The Power Broker (Alfred A. Knopf) Als het gaat om boeken over mensen met macht en wat macht met mensen doet, kun je niet heen om Robert Caro. Zijn (tot nu toe) vier delen over LBJ zijn de legendarische gouden standaard van boeken over presidenten. Zijn boek The Power Broker is dat over bijna onzichtbare machtsdieren in het openbaar bestuur, zoals Robert Moses, de baas van openbare werken van New York City (1888-1981).Dat boek verscheen in 1974 en is nooit weggeweest uit de boekhandel. De vijftigste verjaardag is reden tot een expositie in het stadsmuseum van NYC, zo beroemd is Caro hiermee geworden. Voor Barack Obama heeft dit boek als student zijn visie op de politiek bepaald.Caro kreeg het bij verschijnen van het magnum opus aan de stok met de hoogbejaarde potentaat. Maar het boek is toch vooral ook een uiting van respect voor diens visionaire blik, zijn daadkracht, lef en finesse van manipulatie en politieke kracht. Moses was 'larger than life'. Net als LBJ en even energiek en meedogenloos. Wellicht dat ook daarom Mark Rutte zo'n fan is?6] Nancy Pelosi - The Art of Power (Simon & Schuster)Is zij de Robert Moses van DC? Een machtsdier, onstuitbaar energiek, gedreven, een 'living legend' ook? Nancy Pelosi was alleen allesbehalve onzichtbaar en ze ontleende haar macht wel aan verkiezingen.Haar boek over de kunst van de macht is zeer persoonlijk en vol lessen uit de meest kritische momenten in de vele decennia van haar leven als parlementariër en de eerste vrouw als voorzitter van het Huis. Ze komen allemaal langs, de Bushes, de Clintons, Trump, Xi, Poetin en de Obamas. Ze krijgen er soms ook stevig van langs, zeker als je goed tussen de regels doorleest!Uit dit boek leer je waarom de Republikeinen uiteraard de politieke tegenstander zijn, maar de Senaat de politieke vijand. Duidelijk schetst Pelosi waarom the Speaker zo'n beetje de raadspensionaris van Amerika is en dus een beetje de premier. Die bepaalt met het Huis de begroting en de wetten. Niet de president en zeker niet de Senaat.Een sterke Speaker kan een president maken of breken als deze 'de kunst van het mogelijke' bij machtsuitoefening beheerst. The Art of Power, zoals Otto von Bismarck het al noemde.Het boek begint en eindigt met grof geweld. Eerst de gijzeling en bijna moord van haar man Paul Pelosi in hun eigen huis in San Francisco en tot slot de bestorming van het Capitool op 6 januari 2021. Zij ziet die als een poging tot staatsgreep zoals in Latijns-Amerika en is ervan overtuigd dat zij dit alleen door een wonder heeft overleefd.7] Mathieu Segers - Europa en het idee uit de toekomst (Prometheus)Precies een jaar geleden brachten wij postuum een saluut aan professor Mathieu Segers die zo jong stierf, maar zelf nog zijn magnifieke boek over Europa aan ons had toegestuurd. Dat is nu vertaald: Europa en het idee uit de toekomst.Elke pagina van het boek schittert met verrassende inzichten en onbekende feiten en mensen uit de voorgeschiedenis van de Europese unie. Maar juist nu valt het begin zo op. Segers zag het moment gekomen dat Europa zich opnieuw moest uitvinden. Precies wat de ook in december 2023 overleden Jacques Delors zei en wat in het jaar na hun beider dood de kern werd van Mario Draghi's uitdagende rapport. Mathieu Segers was ook hier weer zijn tijd vooruit.***Verder kijkenTurn Every Page - The Adventures of Robert Caro and Robert Gottlieb***Verder luisteren441 - Extra zomeraflevering: boekenspecial!395 - Vijf boeken en een afscheidsbrief363 - Extra zomeraflevering: PG tipt boeken!317 - Extra winteraflevering: PG tipt boeken!286 - Extra zomeraflevering: PG tipt boeken!269 - Vijf boeken die je moet lezen om Europa beter te begrijpen259 - De omgevallen boekenkast: leestips van PG!207 - Zomer 2021: Boekentips van PG!133 - Amerikaanse presidenten: boeken die je volgens PG móet lezen!99 - Tips voor thuis: de omgevallen boekenkast van PG!403 - Sam van Houten, een eeuw lang verrassend dwars274 - Thorbecke, denker en doener221 - Madam Speaker: de spijkerharde charme van Nancy Pelosi149 - De zeven levens van Abraham Kuyper, een ongrijpbaar staatsman40 - De geniale broers Von Humboldt***Tijdlijn00:00:00 – Deel 100:47:52 – Advertentie De Schrijverscentrale01:03:28 – Deel 201:17:25 – Deel 301:35:49 – Einde Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, biographer, novelist, and therapist Paula Byrne examines the intimate connections between life and literature, revealing how Hardy's relationships with women shaped his portrayals of love and tragedy. Byrne, celebrated for her bestselling biographies of Jane Austen, Evelyn Waugh, and Barbara Pym, brings her unique perspective to explore the profound ways personal relationships, cultural history, and creative ambition intersect to shape some of the most enduring works in literary history. Tyler and Paula discuss Virginia Woolf's surprising impressions of Hardy, why Wessex has lost a sense of its past, what Jude the Obscure reveals about Hardy's ideas about marriage, why so many Hardy tragedies come in doubles, the best least-read Hardy novels, why Mary Robinson was the most interesting woman of her day, how Georgian theater shaped Jane Austen's writing, British fastidiousness, Evelyn Waugh's hidden warmth, Paula's strange experience with poison pen letters, how American and British couples are different, the mental health crisis among teenagers, the most underrated Beatles songs, the weirdest thing about living in Arizona, and more.

In 1946 Evelyn Waugh declared that 20th-century society – ‘the century of the common man', as he put it – was so degenerate that satire was no longer possible. But before reaching that conclusion he had written several novels taking aim at his ‘crazy, sterile generation' with a sparkling, acerbic and increasingly reactionary wit. In this episode, Colin and Clare look at A Handful of Dust (1934), a disturbingly modernist satire divorced from modernist ideas. They discuss the ways in which Waugh was a disciple of Oscar Wilde, with his belief in the artist as an agent of cultural change, and why he's at his best when describing the fevered dream of a dying civilisation.Non-subscribers will only hear an extract from this episode.

Today I sat down with Vanessa Beaumont, a former literary agent and novelist about her debut novel The Other Side of Paradise which follows Jean Buckman, a young American newspaper heiress, who arrives in London in the glittering 1920s, and evolves throughout the story, through personal tragedy and loss. Over the course of the story, we watch her grapple with the pressures of mid-Century society on a woman, what it means to do one's duty, and the pull of desire in the face of it all. It's kind of a Downtown Abbey meets Francis Scott Fitzgerald, with a modern feminist perspective As always, Vanessa picked the four books which have had the biggest impact on her as both a reader and a writer, and we also discussed her career trajectory. Before publishing The Other Side of Paradise, Vanessa spent 8 years as a Commissioning Editor at Short Books, and co-founded and ran a literary agency, so it was fascinating to get some insights from that. It was such a great conversation, and as always, such a pleasure talking with Vanessa. Lit with Charles loves reviews. If you enjoyed this episode, I'd be so grateful if you could leave a review of your own, and follow me on Instagram at @litwithcharles. Let's get more people listening – and reading! Vanessa Beaumont's four books were: Little Women, Louisa May Alcott (1868) The Age of Innocence, Edith Wharton (1920) Brideshead Revisited, Evelyn Waugh (1945) Tender is the Night, F Scott Fitzgerald (1934)

"El Hombre al que le Gustaba Dickens" (The Man Who Liked Dickens) es un relato fantástico del escritor norteamericano Evelyn Waugh (1903-1966), publicado en 1933. Evelyn Waugh suele demostrar una versatilidad asombrosa, casi siempre a través de la ironía y el humor sarcástico. Sin embargo "El hombre al que le gustaba Dickens" explora otra faceta, más oscura y desconocida, el horror. Aquí se narra la historia de un explorador inglés perdido en una aldea del Amazonas. El pueblo está gobernado por el descendiente de un escocés y una muchacha autóctona que protege al inglés durante su convalecencia. Este escocés posee una colección bastante peculiar en un ambiente «salvaje», la obra completa de Charles Dickens. Él mismo no sabe leer, pero recuerda que su padre solía leérselo en voz alta cuando era niño.

For most of us, Sunday is the day we attend Mass, setting it aside as our Sabbath. However, once we step out of the church, we often find ourselves caught up in the same rush as any other day. Whether it's catching up on work, running errands, or tackling household chores, we rarely allow ourselves a true day of rest. Travel, shopping, and the endless to-do list can lead us to forget the essential purpose of the Sabbath. The commandment to keep the Sabbath day holy is not just about worship in the morning, but about dedicating the entire day to Him.On episode #170, I spoke with Daniel Fitzpatrick about the significance of restoring the Lord's day. Here are some key questions and topics from our discussion:Cultural Observations: What inspired Daniel to explore the relationship between the Sabbath and societal trends, particularly those he observed in New Orleans?Historical and Literary Influence: How did the works of authors like Homer, Dante, and Evelyn Waugh shape his understanding of the Sabbath and influence the structure of his book?Modern Challenges: In his book, Daniel discusses how modern society mirrors the Pharaohs' obsession with work and anxiety. What does he believe are the root causes of this shift?And much more...Tune in for an insightful conversation!Biography:Daniel Fitzpatrick lives in New Orleans with his wife and four children. He is the author of the novels Only the Lover Sings and First Make Mad. His verse translation of the Divine Comedy, illustrated by Timothy Schmalz, was published in 2021 in honor of the seven hundredth anniversary of Dante's death. He is the editor of Joie de Vivre, a journal of art, culture, and letters for South Louisiana, and he teaches English at Jesuit High School of New Orleans.Links:Book: Restoring the Lord's DayOur Sponsors:This is a Good Catholic Podcast.  If you're interested in purchasing a Good Catholic digital series, use code GBS for 20% off your total order.Looking for the perfect Catholic gift?

Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! Today's episode is a seasonal journey, a seaside escapade, and a culinary exploration all rolled into one. We're starting with our top 5 favourite seasons in cinema, taking a detour to the charming town of Saltburn, and wrapping up with a dive into the flavoursome world of Salt Fat Acid Heat.Top 5 Seasons in Cinema:Spring - "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring" (2003): This beautiful film uses the cyclical nature of the seasons to tell profound stories of human life, reflecting the passage of time and the lessons learned along the way.Summer - "The Endless Summer" (1966): An iconic surf documentary that follows two surfers on a global quest to find the perfect wave, capturing the essence of summer and adventure.Autumn - "When Harry Met Sally" (1989): The autumnal scenes of New York City provide a picturesque backdrop to this classic romantic comedy, enhancing the film's themes of change and maturity.Winter - "The Revenant" (2015): Winter's harshness is palpable in this survival drama, where the icy landscapes are both breathtakingly beautiful and brutally challenging.All Seasons - "Forrest Gump" (1994): Forrest's life story moves through the seasons of his life, with the changing scenery reflecting his journey from a young boy to a seasoned adult.Buckle up, podcast listeners, for a cinematic ride that's equal parts posh and psychotic. We're diving into "Saltburn," the darkly comedic brainchild of Emerald Fennell, the filmmaker who brought us the unforgettable (and slightly terrifying) "Promising Young Woman."This time, Fennell takes us to the hallowed halls of Oxford University, where we meet Oliver Quick. Oliver's about as out of place as a rogue Crocs sandal in a Savile Row suit. But fear not, for a knight in shining bespoke armour appears – well, more like a charming aristocrat named Felix Catton.Felix, dripping in privilege and charisma, offers Oliver a summer getaway he can't refuse: an invitation to Saltburn, the sprawling estate overflowing with Felix's equally eccentric family. Imagine "The Grand Budapest Hotel" if it took a very wrong turn down Downton Abbey Lane.Oliver jumps at the chance to escape his dorm room ramen existence. But what starts out as a posh poolside dream quickly descends into a hilarious, horrifying mess. Think "Weekend at Bernie's" meets "The Talented Mr. Ripley," with a healthy dose of Evelyn Waugh thrown in for good measure.Shifting from the cinematic to the culinary, Salt Fat Acid Heat is a fascinating docuseries hosted by chef and food writer Samin Nosrat. Based on her bestselling book, the series explores these four fundamental elements of cooking to uncover how they can be used to enhance flavour and create culinary delights. Nosrat's journey takes viewers around the world, from the sea salt of Japan to the olive groves of Italy, making it a mouth watering exploration of global cuisine. We were of course really only interested in the salt contentWhether you're a film aficionado, a seaside explorer, or a culinary enthusiast, today's episode offers a rich palette of discussions. So, join us as we traverse through cinematic seasons, uncover the charm of Saltburn, and savour the fundamental tastes of Salt Fat Acid Heat.

Kiwi writer and poet Freya Daly Sadgrove joins Liz and Ben from Sydney as we adjust our uniforms and march into the horrible realities of war (class, gender and literal) to discuss Terry Pratchett's thirty-first Discworld novel, 2003's Monstrous Regiment. Polly Perks has cut off her hair, put on some trousers and joined the army under the name of Oliver, all so she can find her strong but gentle-minded brother, Paul. Is soon turns out that her regiment, led by the infamous Sergeant Jackrum who swears to look after “his little lads”, is quite possibly the last one left in all of Borogravia. In her search for Paul, Polly will have to deal with the enemy, the free press, a vampire who might kill for a coffee, Sam Vimes, and The Secret: she might not be the only impostor in the ranks... Coming in between the first two Tiffany Aching novels, Monstrous Regiment - which is also monstrous in size, possibly Pratchett's second longest novel - is the last truly standalone Discworld story. It introduces a wonderful cast of characters who, sadly, we'll never see again. Not only that, but it gives major supporting roles to old favourites Sam Vimes and William de Worde, with a side order of Otto von Chriek! Critics at the time compared it to Evelyn Waugh, Jonathan Swift and All Quiet on the Western Front, and it remains one of Pratchett's most beloved and celebrated novels - both for what it says about war, and about gender. Did you know The Secret before you read Monstrous Regiment? What's it like re-reading it when you do know? How do you feel about the ending(s)? How does Pratchett's handling of gender hold up against our modern understanding? What would you prohibit, in Nugganite fashion? And would you rather have a type of food or clothing named after you?

Her first book of poetry, Head Girl, was published in 2020 by Te Herenga Waka University Press, and she is one of the creators of New Zealand live poetry showcase Show Ponies, which presents poets like they're pop stars.
