La première grande étude sur les oeuvres d'art volées par les nazis en Belgique. Pendant huit ans, le journaliste Geert Sels a fébrilement mené l'enquête sur le gigantesque pillage artistique orchestré par le Troisième Reich. Un travail d'investigation exceptionnel et une plume incisive mettent à nu une vérité troublante. Vaste couverture médiatique attendue : après la publication de ce livre, la Belgique devra enfin s'atteler à une politique de restitution.
Au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le Troisième Reich se livra à un pillage artistique sans précédent en Europe. Ce livre apporte un éclairage inédit sur les spoliations commises en Belgique. Les nazis emportèrent des tableaux de Memling, Brueghel et Jordaens, spolièrent des particuliers et dépensèrent des millions de reichsmarks pour acquérir des oeuvres d'art. Pendant huit années d'investigation, Geert Sels a méticuleusement reconstitué le puzzle à l'aide des pièces trouvées dans des archives à Paris, La Haye, Coblence et un peu partout en Belgique. Des collectionneurs, marchands et maisons de vente aux enchères sans scrupule aidèrent les nazis à mettre la main sur d'innombrables oeuvres d'art. Ce livre dévoile les filières utilisées pour faire sortir toutes ces oeuvres du pays. Des tableaux échouèrent plus tard au Louvre, au Tate Moderne, au Getty Museum ou à la Yale Art Gallery. Même la Russie détient encore des oeuvres d'art qui auraient dû retourner en Belgique après la guerre. D'autres oeuvres sont bel et bien revenues, mais se trouvent aujourd'hui dans des musées, sans que l'on ait pris la peine de chercher leurs propriétaires légitimes.

What if customers expect more than just a good product, excellent service and perfectly performing digital interfaces? And what if new technologies like 5G, artificial intelligence, quantum computing and robotics offer possibilities that go beyond mere ease of use?
Digital ease of use is the new minimum. It has become a commodity. The customer now regards it as the most normal thing in the world to have access to limitless products and services with just a single click of a mouse. In the years ahead, companies will need to play an active role in the 'life journey' of customers: helping to make their dreams come true and removing problems from their daily lives. In addition, customers are looking increasingly to companies instead of governments to tackle societal challenges like climate change, health care and mobility.
If your company succeeds in providing outstanding digital service, becomes a partner in the life of your customers and provides solutions for major societal issues, you will develop 'an offer you can't refuse'.

Nous sommes au lendemain de la Grande Guerre, le mal du siècle envahit les âmes. C'est l'époque de la Prohibition et des fortunes rapides. En 1922, Jay Gatz, désormais Gatsby, se retrouve fabuleusement riche. Mille légendes courent sur son compte, qui n'empêchent pas les gens chics - et moins chics - de venir en troupe boire ses cocktails et danser sur ses pelouses. Gatsby le Magnifique joue la carte des folles dépenses pour éblouir Daisy, mariée à Tom Buchanan, un héritier millionnaire. Le jour où l'espoir de conquérir sa bien-aimée s'évanouit, la fête prend fin brutalement... Gatsby le Magnifique est un des romans emblématiques de la littérature américaine du XXe siècle.
L'interprétation d'Emmanuel Dekoninck met parfaitement en lumière le mélange de naïveté et de rouerie qui tisse le destin de Gatsby, au milieu des extravagances d'une société enivrée de sa démesure naissante.

Acclaimed bestselling novelist Kunihiko Hidaka is brutally murdered in his home on the night before he's planning to leave Japan and relocate to Vancouver. His body is found in his office, in a locked room, within his locked house, by his wife and his best friend, both of whom have rock solid alibis. Or so it seems.
Police Detective Kyochiro Kaga recognizes Hidaka's best friend from years ago when they were both teachers. Kaga went on to join the police force while Nonoguchi became a full-time writer, though with not nearly the success of his friend Hidaka. When Kaga suspects something is a little bit off with Nonoguchi's statement, he investigates further, ultimately executing a search warrant on Nonoguchi's apartment. There he finds evidence that shows that the two writers' relationship was very different than they claimed...
In a brilliantly realized tale of cat and mouse, the detective and the writer battle over the truth of the past and how events that led to the murder really unfolded. Which one of the two writers was ultimately guilty of malice?
