Story
De Franse componist Claude Debussy (1862-1918) was één van de belangrijkste componisten van het begin van de 20e eeuw. Zijn werk markeert de transitie van de late romantiek naar de moderne muziek. Tijdens zijn leven kwam hij in contact met andere componisten, waaronder Tsjaikovski en Wagner. Hij ontwikkelde zijn eigen klank en brak daarmee definitief met de romantiek.

Story
Literatuur in de 19e eeuw was geen vrijblijvend vermaak. Schrijvers wilden de maatschappij verbeteren door aandacht voor sociale problemen, maar ook door aansluiting te zoeken bij internationale kunstbewegingen. Literatuur als middelaar tussen ideaal en werkelijkheid. Rond 1880 keren nieuwe jonge schrijvers zich tegen deze generatie en literatuur wordt weer iets voor een kleine groep geestverwanten.

Lang werd aangenomen dat moraal was voorbehouden aan de mens. Maar Jan van Hooff laat zien dat ook dieren coalities aangaan, in harmonie proberen samen te leven en altruïstisch gedrag kunnen vertonen. Hoe leggen dieren hun ruzies bij, hoe zorgen ze voor elkaar en welke moraal hebben ze? Van Hooff vertelt energiek over de evolutionaire aspecten van de moraal bij mens en dier.

Story
Het christendom heeft in vele opzichten een stempel gedrukt op de Westerse cultuur. Duidelijke voorbeelden daarvan zijn het ordenen van tijd en de kalender van feesten en bijzondere dagen. Wat is de betekenis van die feesten? Hoe en wanneer zijn ze ontstaan? Spelen voorchristelijke motieven een rol? Werkt de joodse feestkalender door in de christelijke? Hoe worden de feesten tegenwoordig gevierd, hier en elders in de christelijke kerk? In dit twee uur durende college beantwoordt Marius van Leeuwen deze en vele andere vragen op meeslepende en inspirerende wijze.

Story
We leven nog steeds in de romantiek en het lukt ons niet ons daaraan te ontworstelen. Het verleden fascineert ons en we verlangen naar roes en het exotische. Een romantisch nationalisme bloeit als nooit te voren. In zijn colleges zet Maarten Doorman uiteen dat de kracht van de romantiek schuilt in haar dynamiek en haar tegenstellingen: het zelf en de ander, gevoel en verstand, wetenschap en kunst.

In dit college wordt een overzicht gegeven van de belangrijkste perioden in de Europese literatuurgeschiedenis aan de hand van acht thema's. Deze thema's spelen in bepaalde perioden een centrale rol in de Europese literatuur, maar zij kennen ook een voorgeschiedenis en een nawerking. Zo schakelt Joep Leerssen bij een thema als natuurgevoel moeiteloos over van de Romantiek terug naar de Klassieke Oudheid en door naar de jaren zestig van de 20ste eeuw.

Story
In dit luisterboek zal Maarten van Buuren spreken over zes beroemde romans waarin overspelige vrouwen centraal staan. Hij plaatst de schrijvers en hun romans in een cultuurhistorisch perspectief. Tijden veranderen, de mens blijft hetzelfde, maar de romanpersonages laten zien dat zij zichzelf telkens anders definiëren. Hun zelfbeeld en de manier waarop ze hun eigen karakter zien, wordt wel degelijk bepaald door o.a. de conventies van de tijd waarin zij leven.

Story
Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643) is zonder twijfel de belangrijkste componist geweest uit de boeiende periode waarin de renaissance overging in de barok. In deze periode componeerde Monteverdi aanvankelijk zuiver vocale madrigalen. Vanaf de eeuwwisseling schrijft hij steeds meer madrigalen die door instrumenten worden begeleid. In 1607 verscheen zijn eerste opera, Orfeo. Zijn tweede opera, L'incoronazione di Poppea, is een grote stap vooruit in het genre.

King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
