My new website is slowly coming into existence. Check it out at
www.odradek.nl

GB/VS This page has fallen out of its primordial condition of unmoved movement and full emptiness. It is now reigned by a striving for expansion and improvement. If you find any errors, please let me know. As to the language: standard language of this page is English (or something that looks like it), but apart from that each section is in the language that is most suitable for it: book reviews are in the same language as the reviewed book. Subjects that are specifically interesting for Dutch and Flemish people are in Dutch.

Mijn nieuwe website begint langzaam vorm aan te nemen. Neem vast een kijkje op www.odradek.nl

NL Deze pagina is inmiddels uit haar primordiale toestand van onbewogen beweging en volle leegte gevallen. Ze wordt nu geregeerd door een streven naar uitbreiding en verbetering. Mocht u ergens fouten tegenkomen, laat het mij dan a.u.b weten. Wat betreft de taal: de basistaal van deze pagina is Engels (of wat daarvoor door moet gaan), maar voor het overige is per sectie bepaald welke taal het meest voor de hand ligt. Boekrecensies zijn in dezelfde taal geschreven als het gerecenseerde boek. Onderwerpen die specifiek voor Nederlanders of Vlamingen interessant zijn, zijn in het Nederlands beschreven.

Meine neue Internetseite breitet ihr Dasein langsam aus. Bitte kommen Sie mal vorbei auf www.odradek.nl

D Diese Seite ist inzwischen aus ihrem primordialen Zustand der unbewogenen Bewegung und der vollen Leere gefallen. Sie wird jetzt von einem Streben nach Erweiterung und Verbesserung regiert. Wenn Sie irgendwo einen Fehler entdecken, bitte benachrichtigen Sie mich. In Bezug auf die Sprache: Die Standardsprache dieser Seite ist Englisch (oder etwas ähnliches); im Übrigen ist jede Sektion in die für sie passende Sprache verfasst. Bücherrezensionen sind in die gleiche Sprache wie das rezensierte Buch, spezifisch Niederländische oder Flämische Themen sind auf Niederländisch geschrieben.
