Description

De Waanzinnige Twintigste EeuwDe twintigste eeuw was een gewelddadige eeuw. Er waren de Eerste Wereldoorlog en de Oktoberrevolutie, Hitler en Stalin, de Tweede Wereldoorlog en de Chinese Revolutie, Auschwitz en andere (pogingen tot) genocide. De twintigste eeuw was ook de eeuw van de Koude Oorlog en de bewapeningswedloop. Maar er waren ook de wonderjaren 1968 en 1989. Desondanks keerde Europa terug naar de stad waar het in 1914 allemaal begon: Sarajevo. De twintigste eeuw heeft al

De twintigste eeuw was een gewelddadige eeuw. Er waren de Eerste Wereldoorlog en de Oktoberrevolutie, Hitler en Stalin, de Tweede Wereldoorlog en de Chinese Revolutie, Auschwitz en andere (pogingen tot) genocide. De twintigste eeuw was ook de eeuw van de Koude Oorlog en de bewapeningswedloop. Maar er waren ook de wonderjaren 1968 en 1989. Desondanks keerde Europa terug naar de stad waar het in 1914 allemaal begon: Sarajevo. De twintigste eeuw heeft al minstens 100 miljoen slachtoffers gemaakt. Alleen al vorig jaar werd er in een vijftigtal landen ter wereld oorlog gevoerd. Het lijkt op het eerste gezicht de meest waanzinnige eeuw sinds de veertiende eeuw die Barbara Tuchman zo meeslepend beschreven heeft. Mark Heirman legt in zijn boek de grote krachtlijnen ervan bloot. Hij heeft het over de strijd van en tegen de democratie en de moderniteit, over de rivaliteit tussen de liberale en de socialistische democratie, over de permanente spanning tussen Verlichting en romantiek en over de verschillende uitgangspunten van de politieke revoluties van de 18de eeuw, de sociale revoluties van de 19de eeuw en de culturele revoluties van de 20ste eeuw.
De auteur ziet nog andere tegenstellingen: de doorbraak van het Europese model en de ultieme afwijzing ervan of de triomf van de secularisatie en de terugkeer van de religie. Het zijn evenveel pogingen om deze eeuw, die de ambitie had de mens en de wereld te verbeteren, alsnog van de waanzin te redden. Ondanks al het geweld betekent de twintigste eeuw tegelijk ook de grootste stap die de mensheid ooit heeft gezet op weg naar een humanere en vredevollere wereld.

Great toddler backpack!
Size: Small, Color: All Black
My daughter is in prek 3 and loves this backpack. Nice and small for her to carry. A full folder will fit with a little force, but if you’re looking for something to actually carry folders and books, maybe not the best.

“Tiny Backpack, Big Personality!”
This little backpack is doing big kid things — and my toddler knows it. The second we strapped it on, he marched around like he was off to close a business deal with juice boxes in both hands. It’s the perfect size for tiny shoulders, and the chest buckle? GENIUS. No more slippy straps or bag-flinging tantrums. It stays put like a champ, even during epic playground sprints and spontaneous dance moves in the grocery store. The material is sturdy, the zippers glide like butter, and the reflective strip makes my toddler look like he’s ready for a baby night shift. The color combo is sleek — black and grey with just the right touch of “cool kid on campus” energy. Plenty of space for snacks, sippy cups, a favorite toy, and 14 mysterious pebbles he insisted on collecting “for science.” If your 2-4-year-old wants to carry their own stuff and look proud doing it — this is the backpack for them. Highly recommend (and yes, I already ordered another one for backup... because toddlers). 🎒

Good! Recommend
Size: Small, Color: Pink Dino
My 2 year old loves this backpack. I love the snap in the front for additional support of the distribution of weight. It has a good size cup holders and the inside of the bag is very spacious.

A good buy especially for young kids
Our community is providing school supplies this year for an elementary school that we adopted. Backpacks are in big demand but, as you know if you’ve been shopping, pretty pricey. This backpack was a Prime-day find so I bought a couple of them but, even back to the regular price, it’s a good deal especially for very young kids. In person the backpack is cute and stylish with the vibrant range of colors you see in the product pictures. I bought the large backpack which, as you can see in the photo, is more than tall enough for a standard manila folder. The stitching seems sound and the straps work as you would expect; it also has two side pockets. If I had to pick a weak spot, I’d say it’s the zipper, especially the one on the front pouch. It’s not a problem at the moment but it’s nylon, not metal, and so I don’t expect it to last forever. But if it gets through one school year, I consider that good. I think it’s a pretty good buy if you’re on a budget.
