Paulo Coelho De spion

De fan oarsprong Fryske Mata Hari (1876-1917) wie de meast begearde frou fan har tiid: in ferneamde eksoatyske dûnseresse dy’t omgong hie mei grutheden en it publyk skokte en yn ferfiering brocht mei har eroatysk laden optredens.

Meindert Bylsma En dêr marsjearje ik hinne

Yn dizze boartlike en satiryske novelle reizget Meindert Bylsma mei it jonkje dat er ea wie troch falstrikken en hinderlagen yn it libben. Boartlik en blomryk fertelt er oer it gefaar fan klisjeemieningen, sjabloonoardielen, fan monotinken en hierargysk machtsmisbrûk. Sa komt er der efter dat it in poepetoer wurde sil foar sa'n lyts mantsje, dy't op de startline stiet, mei de hurddraversskuon al oan, om in keardel te wurden. Bron: Flaptekst, uitgeversinformatie
