Laurent-Beno t Dewez (1731-1812), court architect to Charles of Lorraine, was the most outstanding architect of his time in the Southern Low Countries. After studying in Italy and serving in the eminent office of Robert Adam in London, Dewez developed a personal, classical style that came to embody the ?Eglise Belgique? under the Austrian Habsburgs. He designed numerous castles, abbeys, and churches across Belgium, but time has not been kind to his legacy: of his 80 architectural projects, many have vanished. However, the Ch teau de Seneffe, the abbey of Vlierbeek in Leuven, and the churches in Andenne, Floreffe, and Harelbeke still stand as testaments to his remarkable talent. This richly illustrated monograph presents, for the first time, a comprehensive collection and analysis of the complete works of Laurent-Beno t Dewez.

Geen betere lectuur voor in je luie zetel of je hotelkamer, dromend van de volgende dag in het eeuwige Parijs. En dan die adressen opzoeken, de verhalen zinderend door je hoofd. Paris s' veille!" --Johan Op de Beeck "De weelde van weetjes en eruditie maken het Parijs van Dirk Velghe magisch. Zelfs de tragiek lijkt er lichter. Wie nog niet van Parijs houdt, valt ervoor na het lezen van dit boek. 'Ich bin ein Pariser', zou Kennedy gezegd hebben." --Herman Van Rompuy "Velghe toont Parijs als een wervelend, immer onrustig organisme waar zovele wonderlijke levens de geschiedenis kleurden, met verf, met bloed n met inkt."De Morgen, 27 november 2021 In dit boek overtreft de werkelijkheid altijd de fictie, de waarheid altijd de mythe. In hoogst intrigerende en vaak vergeten geschiedenissen zoals 'De zaak-Chanel-Wertheimer', 'De gele trui van Lenin' en 'De verkoop van de Eiffeltoren' komen honderden Parijse zielen weer tot leven achter de gevels, in passages of stegen, op pleinen en langs de avenues en de boulevards van de lichtstad. In De ziel van Parijs proeft de lezer de eigenzinnige oogst van iemand die, na vele seizoenen in zijn lievelingsstad, nog steeds verrukt is door haar vruchten. Dirk Velghe vertelt feiten en verhalen over bijzondere mensen en gebeurtenissen die Parijs inkleurden, soms met verf, soms met bloed. Geschiedenissen zoals alleen een echte Parijzenaar ze kan vertellen. Luchtig maar altijd diep onderbouwd geeft Velghe een geheel nieuwe twist aan de geschiedenis van Parijs. Zijn no-nonsense proza en narratieve flair staan garant voor meeslepende lectuur.

In this book, reality always outdoes fiction and truth always outdoes myth. Get ready for a personal encounter with police inspectors and filles la cuisse l g re, Impressionists and art thieves, swindlers and bankers, poisoners and surgeons, collaborators and members of the resistance, Cubists and anarchists, painters' models and curators, terrorists and duellists, Huguenots and Catholics, criminals and executioners. In intriguing, often forgotten histories such as 'The Chanel versus Wertheimer', 'Lenin's Yellow Jersey' and 'Selling the Eiffel Tower', hundreds of Parisian souls are brought back to life behind the fa ades, in the passages, on the squares and along the avenues and boulevards of the City of Light In Paris Souls, the reader samples the idiosyncratic harvest of someone who, after many seasons in his favourite city, still takes delight in its fruits. Author Dirk Velghe recounts facts and stories about the unusual people and events that have coloured Paris, sometimes with paint, sometimes with blood. Histories the way only a true Parisian can tell them. Light-hearted but always drawing on thorough research, Velghe gives a completely new twist to the history of Paris. His no-nonsense prose and narrative flair make for compelling reading.
