Choose the photo book Silk Road by Mark Borthwick and Mali Marciano.
“Photographer Mark Borthwick and author Mali Marciano follow the ancient Silk Road, from the wilderness of Mongolia through the deserts of Egypt to the canals of Venice. Borthwick broke all the rules of fashion photography in the 1990s with his minimal, color-saturated aesthetic and became one of the most influential photographers.”

Tom Sauwer is professor of international politics at the University of Antwerp. The revised version of his book has just been published The fight for peace. And how we can win it.
Sauer suggests Morning in Jenin by Susan Abulhawa.
“This family history of four generations of Palestinian women is a compelling novel full of love and sadness that provides extremely useful historical context for the origins and further developments of tensions between Israel and the Palestinians. I read the book in preparation for an immersion trip by Pax Christi Vlaanderen/Broederlijk Delen.”

Lynn Pinsart is a children’s book author and copywriter. She recently published Chameleon doesn’t like color.
She chooses This is not what will happen by Zita Theunynck.
“In this autobiographical novel, Zita immerses you in her fertility journey and premature birth. The story felt to me – unfortunately I am familiar with the subject – like a hot bath and a cold shower at the same time. With her light-hearted writing style, she reconciles heavy themes with (as she puts it) ’embarrassing anecdotes about poop’. Unparalleledly beautiful, highly recommended for anyone who has ever been afraid in a hospital bed.”
