Story
At the end of the fifteenth century, Burgundy was extinguished as an independent state. It had been a fabulously wealthy, turbulent region situated between France and Germany, with close links to the English kingdom. Torn apart by the dynastic struggles of early modern Europe, this extraordinary realm vanished from the map. But it became the cradle of what we now know as the Low Countries, modern Belgium and the Netherlands. This is the story of a thousand years, a must-listen narrative history of ambitious aristocrats, family dysfunction, treachery, savage battles, luxury, and madness.

Story
Sein erster Posten führt Patrick Nothomb in den jüngst unabhängig gewordenen Kongo. In Stanleyville soll er als Generalkonsul Belgien vertreten. Aber das Jahr 1964 hält anderes bereit, und so muss er, der kein Blut sehen kann, um das Leben Hunderter Geiseln verhandeln. Doch wer ist dieser junge Mann? Amélie Nothomb zeichnet das Bild seiner Kindheit zwischen belgischer Hautevolée und wilden Ardennen. Ein intimes Familienporträt, aber auch die Geschichte einer Welt im Wandel.
