The Canon of Flanders in 60 windows / 1st Edition Premium

The Canon of Flanders presents people, places, inventions, events and developments with special importance for today’s Flemish society. 60 richly illustrated windows illuminate decisive moments in history, from the earliest habitation up to the present. Besides well-known heroes and villains, the reader will also encounter ordinary men and women who, in good times and bad, built a life for themselves. This book was put together by a committee of experts after consultation with researchers, education specialists, and other qualified sources. The Canon of Flanders is not set in stone, but invites the reader to (re)discover the past. It is for young and old, for newcomers and long-established residents, for adventurers and stay-at-homes, in short, for everyone who wants to gain a better knowledge of the region we today call Flanders.
