Parvenu
Hugo Stadman is a thirty-something private banker in Amsterdam. Membership of the prestigious Batavia Club holds the key to getting ahead in the world, he thinks. But Hugo has much to hide, including his family background and his own far from impeccable behaviour. The Parvenu is a novel about the longing to be someone you're not, about human fallibility, love and addiction. Fast-paced and funny, the trials and tribulations of Hugo Stadman are poignant and intriguing. In the Netherlands The Parvenu is a great success, it reached best-sellerstatus in half a year, film rights were sold to Eyeworks, the Netherlands' leading film producers.

Histoire Du Texte Des >Parva Naturalia
This book offers a study of the history of the transmission of Aristotle's treatises known under the collective denomination Parva naturalia on the basis of all of the available manuscripts, as well as the ancient and Byzantine receptions of the texts, with special focus on the commentary on De sensu by Alexander of Aphrodisias and the commentary on the other treatises of the collection by Michael of Ephesus, which depends on prior exegetical materials known through scholia that had not been edited so far. It uncovers a new independent branch of the transmission, hitherto unknown to editors of Aristotle's text, for which the main witness is the neglected 15th-century manuscript Berlin, Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Phillipps 1507. The existence of this branch accounts for the special status of manuscrit Vaticano, BAV, Vat. gr. 1339 and offers many opportunities to improve on the current reconstruction of Aristotle's text.

Aristotle’s ›Parva naturalia‹
Aristotle’s Parva naturalia continues the investigation begun in the De anima. The De anima defines the soul and treats its main powers, nutrition, sense perception, intellection, and locomotion. The Parva naturalia — On sense and sensible objects, On memory and recollection, On sleep, On dreams, On divination in sleep, On motion of animals (De motu animalium ), On length and shortness of life, and On youth and old age and respiration — attends more to bodily involvement with soul. While each work offers fascinating and challenging insights, there has never been as extensive a commentary covering them together. A reason is that the works have often been viewed as incidental and even inconsistent. The De motu animalium has not typically been included, when viewed as an isolated work on animal locomotion. This commentary argues that the treatises, considered together and with the De motu among them, display a tight sequence manifesting an artful, yet easily overlooked, design. We reveal many techniques of Aristotle’s writing that have received little consideration previously. Our commentary contributes to a unified and comprehensive account of Aristotle’s overall project regarding the soul and its connections with the body.

Parvana's Journey
The second book in the internationally-bestselling series that includes The Breadwinner, Mud City and My Name Is Parvana In 2001, a war is raging in Afghanistan as a coalition of Western forces tries to oust the Taliban by bombing the country. Parvana's father has died, and her mother, sister and brother have gone to a faraway wedding, not knowing what has happened to the father. Parvana doesn't know where they are. She just knows she has to find them. She sets out alone, masquerading as a boy, her journey becoming more perilous as the bombs begin to fall. Making her way across the desolate Afghan countryside, she meets other children who are strays from the war -- an infant boy in a bombed-out village, a nine-year-old girl who believes she has magical powers over land mines, and a boy with one leg who is so obnoxious that Parvana can hardly stand him. The children travel together because it is easier than being alone. And, as they forge their own family in the war zone that Afghanistan has become, their resilience, imagination and luck help them to survive. The reissue includes a new cover and map, an updated author's note and a glossary to provide young readers with background and context. All royalties from the sale of this book will go to Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan. Parvana's Fund supports education projects for Afghan women and children.
