Marga Klompé (1912-1986) leeft nog altijd voort in de herinnering als de eerste vrouwelijke minister van Nederland, als grondlegster van de Algemene Bijstandswet en de Wet op de Bejaardenoorden. Zij was een voorvechtster van vrede en internationale gerechtigheid en meende dat bijdragen aan een goede samenleving ieders opdracht was. Hierbij was haar rooms-katholieke geloof de grondslag. Gedurende haar eerste jaar als lid van de Tweede Kamer, van augustus 1948 tot augustus 1949, hield Klompé een dagboek bij. Zij noteerde wat zij meemaakte en wie zij ontmoette. Ze maakte ook aantekeningen over haar inzet om 'in Liefde en Rechtvaardigheid' te leven en politiek te bedrijven. Dit bezielde, bij tijden ontroerende dagboek wordt in deze uitgave bij gelegenheid van haar honderdste geboortedag gepubliceerd, omgeven door enkele andere teksten die licht werpen op Klompés blijvende betekenis.

"Since its first appearance in Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine in 1899 and 1900, Lord Jim (1900) has been acclaimed as a modernist masterwork. Its narrative innovations and psychological complexity make it one of the most influential fictions written in the twentieth century and it has challenged and stimulated generations of readers as well as writers on and of fiction. This edition, established through modern textual scholarship, presents Conrad's novel and its preface in a form more authoritative than any so far printed. The Introduction situates the novel in Conrad's career and traces its sources and contemporary reception. The explanatory notes identify literary and historical references and real-life places and indicate Conrad's main influences. Glossaries, maps and illustrations are provided for further context, as well as a new transcription of 'Tuan Jim: A Sketch', a partial draft of the novel, and appearing in print for the first time, Conrad's contract for the book"--

"I am delighted to have had the privilege of meeting you, Miss Chapin," said Ensign Dave Darrin, lifting his uniform cap and bowing low at the end of the brief conversation. "And my thanks to you, Captain Chapin, for having afforded us the great pleasure." Ensign Dan Dalzell, U. S. Navy, delivered himself in similar fashion. The two young naval officers turned and were about to resume their stroll over the Punta de Espana, or Spanish bridge, which, crossing the Pasig River, separates Old Manila from New. Just as suddenly, however, the pair checked their progress, to stare across the bridge. On the opposite side, leaning against the rail, stood a Chinaman in rather rich apparel, with a decidedly sinister cast of countenance. "Why is Old 'Burnt-face' staring so hard after Miss Chapin and her brother?" muttered Dalzell. "I'm blessed if I know," returned Dave Darrin. "I've a good mind to cross over and put your question to the Chinaman." "I've a greater mind to throw him into the Pasig," growled Dalzell. "I'm not strong on race lines or color, but I don't believe that any yellow man has a right to glare like that at an American girl."
