Description

Brugge, een stad met een fascinerende geschiedenis. Brugge, een stad van mensen en verhalen. Brugge, een stad als in een sprookje... Historicus Paul Van Damme schreef met dit boek een ode aan de stad, haar inwoners en haar patrimonium. Het werd een werk dat leest als een pageturner, met oog voor het menselijke gelaat van de geschiedenis: stadszichten worden wonderlijke taferelen, huizen en pleinen decors voor waargebeurde verhalen. De auteur bewijst hiermee dat historische accuraatheid en meeslepende geschiedschrijving hand in hand kunnen gaan. Dit werk vormt een ideale introductie voor wie Brugge voor het eerst bezoekt, maar evenzeer voor hij of zij die er graag terugkomt of er al levenslang woont: toegankelijk, intrigerend en verrassend verrijkend.
