    Spegel en sonde

    As toskedoktersassistinte Doutsen (echtgenoate, mem en minneres) in nije baas krijt, giet der ynienen in soad mis. Om’t se it iene nei it oare ferjit, minsken net mear werkent en regelmjittich it paad bjuster is, rekket se yn panyk. Se driget de kontrôle oer har libben te ferliezen en lit it yn har omgean har eardere berop fan byldzjend keunstner wer op te krijen. As Anniek, har suster dy’t se tsientallen jierren net troffen hat, kontakt opnimt, komt alles yn in streamfersnelling en komme dingen oan it ljocht dy’t Doutsen har hiele libben ferswijd hat. Wat is der eins bard yn it ferline?

    Op meinimmende wize fertelt Jetske Bilker dit oangripende, en bytiden humoristyske, ferhaal oer geheugen, de eangst foar alzheimer en famyljebannen.

    Fan Jetske Bilker (1960) ferskynde earder de roman It libben fan in oar, dy’t nominearre waard foar de Gysbert Japicxpriis.

  • Victor Horta and the Frison House in Brussels

    In the middle of the Lebeaustraat in Brussels, sandwiched between neo-Renaissance and neo-Gothic houses, stands an Art Nouveau jewel designed by Victor Horta: the Frison House. It was
    commissioned by Maurice Frison, a lawyer and friend of the architect, and was built in 1894-1895. Horta designed not only the house, but also all its furniture and decoration, right down to the smallest detail: from door handles to marble fireplaces, from mosaic floors to elegant banisters, from wall lamps to the gratings for the cellar openings. The absolute eyecatcher is the winter garden, whose elegant design allows soft yellow light to flow subtly into its perfectly proportioned space.

    Nupur Tron is the author of this book and owner of the house. In recent years, she has breathed new life back into Horta’s masterpiece. She pieced together bits of the old chandeliers she found in one of the cellars. She had items of furniture designed by Horta lovingly restored. With great passion, she continues to search for the funds that will allow her to restore the entire house to its former glory, one step at a time.

    Horta and the Frison House in Brussels is an ode to the architect and his creation.

    Nupur Tron is from India. She studied Design, Marketing & Merchandising and Fine Arts at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. She designs jewellery, in which the different styles of east and west meet in harmony.
