Graham Jackson was lucky not to miss this year's annual book market in Wageningen, where life has been breathed into the historic old town once more.Two weeks ago, Wageningen hosted its annual second-hand book market. The event saw the traditional Saturday market more than double in scale, as independent book retailers travelled from all corners of the country to converge on the old town square.
I’d completely overlooked the staging of the special market. I noticed the advert by chance, submerged in a pile of unread flyers and free papers that were heading straight for the recycling bin. So, with no plans for the day ahead, the decision was made for me. I cycled lethargically into town in the mid-afternoon haze.
This refreshed mindset culminates in the 5 mei festivities. Being the location of the declaration of surrender which officially ended World War Two, the town is famous for, and rightly takes great pride in, its historical significance.
Arriving at the square, I witnessed the rickety bookstands, packed row upon row with all manner of obscure publications. Mere moments into my quest to find English language novels, I caught sight of a couple of battered paperbacks, the names of Conrad and Christie leaping out.
El seto y ese sueño matutino.
El gorjeo
describe a
cielo abierto
ese candido
sueño y una
dulce poesía,
la rima infinita
que recuerda
el amor.
