A Short History of Belgium

ISBN: 9781330060445 出版年：2016 页码：225 Leon van der Essen Forgotten Books

The national culture Of Belgium is a synthesis, if I may so call it, where one finds the genius of two races — the Romance and the Germanic — mingled, yet modified by the imprint of the distinctively Belgian. It is in that very receptivity — the fact that it has absorbed and unified the best elements of Latin and Teutonic civilization — that the originality of the Belgian national culture resides.
