No one has written more feelingly and more beautifully than Nescio about the madness and sadness, courage and vulnerability of youth: its big plans and vague longings, not to mention the binges, crashes, and marathon walks and talks. No one, for that matter, has written with such pristine clarity about the radiating canals of Amsterdam and the cloud-swept landscape of the Netherlands. Who was Nescio? Nescio—Latin for “I don’t know”—was the pen name of J.H.F. Grönloh, the highly successful director of the Holland–Bombay Trading Company and a father of four—someone who knew more than enough about respectable maturity. Only in his spare time and under the cover of a pseudonym, as if commemorating a lost self, did he let himself go, producing over the course of his lifetime a handful of utterly original stories that contain some of the most luminous pages in modern literature. This is the first English translation of Nescio’s stories.

"Martijn Doolaard traded in the convenience of a car and the distractions of daily life for a cross-continental cycling journey: a biped adventure from Amsterdam to Singapore. Leaving behind repetitive routines, One Year on a Bike indulges in slow travel, the subtlety of a gradually changing landscape, and the lessons learned through travelling. Venturing through Eastern European fields of yellow rapeseed to the intimate hosting culture in Iran, One Year on a Bike is a vivid chronicle of what can happen when the norm is pointedly replaced by exceptional self-discoveries and beautiful sceneries. Doolaard shares the gear and knowledge that made his trip possible." -- Provided by publisher.

Europe’s most infamous city remains one of its most popular, and not without good reason: between its world-class art museums, its eminently wanderable canals and its coffee shops that don’t exactly specialize in coffee, its variety is glorious indeed. However, with one of Europe’s more forward-thinking cultural scenes and striking new architectural developments in IJburg and the Bijlmermeer, there’s much more here to enjoy than the clichés; written, researched and edited entirely by locals, the Time Out Amsterdam guide will tell travelers all about it. Highlights: Amsterdam after dark: the best restaurants, bars and nightclubs in the city, but also the ones to avoid Mini-guides to the city’s most notable works of art, and where to find them An unmatched section on the city’s modern-day cultural scene: galleries and performance art, classical music and theater An in-depth look at the city’s stunning new urban architecture Trips Beyond Amsterdam, to the flower auction in Aalsmeer, the cheese market at Gouda and the windmills of Alblasserdam, and also to the fizzing modern city of Rotterdam
