De bekeerlinge (\u0422he Convert)
\n<\/strong>Translation: Elizabeta Bo\u017einoska<\/em><\/p>\n

In a small town in Provence, people have spoken of an ancient pogrom and a hidden chest since time immemorial. Stefan Hertmans has based The Convert on historical fact, and he traces the life of a distinguished Christian noblewoman who abandons her life for the love of a Jewish boy.
\nAt the dawn of the Crusades, 17-year-old Vigdis Adela\u00efs, the daughter of a semi-cultivated Norman living in Rouen, one day passes by the Jews' quarter and catches sight of David Todros, the son of the chief rabbi of Narbonne. Despite her father's criticism and encouragement of hatred towards Jews, when he discovers the forbidden love, he confines Vigdis to a monastery. After a successful escape, Vigdis takes the name Sarah Hamoutal, and although it seems they will find peace for themselves and their children in the mountains, David and Hamutal are unaware of the trials and tragedies awaiting them.
\nA brilliant reconstruction of an incredible journey across middle ages Europe to Egypt, and an untold story of forgotten documents and forbidden love.<\/p>\n

Oorlog en terpentijn (War and Turpentine)
\n<\/strong>Translation: Elizabeta Bo\u017einoska<\/em><\/p>\n

Urbain Martien left behind two notebooks. They unveil his entire life. The life of an artist, a soldier, a lover, and someone who survived World War I. These notes were discovered 30 years later by his grandson, a writer, who through them resurrects a world that has disappeared. It's the period at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. In his notes, he conveys almost half a century, and with his descriptions and profound love, he resounds powerfully even a hundred years later. Wrestling with this tale, the grandson traverses the years, seeking to understand his own role in time.
\nFilled with vivid details, reflections on painting and music, this fascinating dialogue between the deceased painter and his grandson is a precious encounter with the past we've forgotten and the present we understand less and less.
\nThe novel has been translated into over 20 languages, andThe New York Times<\/em>\u00a0included it in the top ten best books of 2016.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
