The first book of poetry, I published in 1975, titled Búúúút ... Vrij ! will appear in a next edition of this site. When you click the link you'll get to an excerpt of Kruimels voor het Taaldier published in 1999. Pretty soon, december 12th, Solferino Grand Aesthetics will be available at a few Rotterdam bookshops.
Shakespeare
- In vain I
let Google try to find the complete lyrics of If music be the
food of love, play on ; Give me excess
of it ,
....... Because I've got William
Shakespeare's complete works in my bookcase I thought it useful to put the
text on the net. Let's see how long it takes Googlebot to find it ....... . If
you want to hear it as a song, try to get the CD by Cleo Laine:
Shakespeare and all that
Jazz (Philips EJD 1041)
Twelve paintings I selected from my stock. These paintings were all executed by me at tuesday evening workshops at the Chabotgroep in IJsselmonde. At the end of the page you probably find your way to the shop !
First a few quarters of my pedigree. It's not easy
to find your ancestors when they
were
born in countries with
difficult accessability of archives. Perhaps my courage will
grow the coming months and thus these
quarters.
Second in line you'll
find a piece of a transcription Henk Jansen did a couple of
years ago on Public Sales in Katendrecht, a
community on the southbank of the river
Meuse, first
annexed by its neighbour Charlois and later by the City of
Rotterdam.
I still keep some
digital transcriptions of IJsselmonde and Charlois on a harddisk, but
it needs quite some elaboration to appear in these pages. A
little patience please !
The page Rotterdamse mannen in het leger van Napoleon offers a little bit more than 1000 names of men
principally born in Rotterdam and its close surroundings that more or less
involuntarily joined Napoleon's Russian campaign in 1812. Moeders van Rotterdamse soldaten adds the names of some 1000 names of these soldiers'
mothers in alfabetical order. A third page Details over Rotterdamse soldaten
offers some specific data concerning place of birth (Hillegersberg, Charlois,
Kralingen etc.), achievements and obituary.
The list results from a survey in
the archives of the Service Historique de l'Armée de Terre in Château de
Vincennes - Paris. Four years long in the month of may I spent one week in the
archive and every year I am longing to go back to this wonderful
city.
