In the midst of the First World War, Pierrot, Dog Of Belgium tells a poignant tale of loss and resilience. The novella opens with a haunting depiction of a ravaged Belgium, where the once vibrant meadows and ancient cities now bear the scars of conflict. As the nation weeps for its fallen, we hear the heart-wrenching cries of citizens—innocent townsfolk, Walloon and Flemish peasants caught in the turmoil of war. Among their stories emerges that of a little girl named Lisa and her faithful dog, whose loyalty echoes through the chaos. This evocative narrative captures not only the devastation ...

Belgium: a patchwork of Dutch-speaking Flanders and French-speaking Wallonia, a cobbled-together buffer state that punched far above its weight. In its short 1830s independence, it carved out a brutal African empire under King Leopold II—a personal colony that became a byword for atrocity in the Congo Free State (1885-1908). The show traces the arc from the Burgundian and Spanish Habsburg rule, through the Austrian Netherlands and the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, to the revolutionary birth of the nation. Lucas and Luna explore the linguistic fault lines that still divide the country, ...

Story0
At the end of the fifteenth century, Burgundy was extinguished as an independent state. It had been a fabulously wealthy, turbulent region situated between France and Germany, with close links to the English kingdom. Torn apart by the dynastic struggles of early modern Europe, this extraordinary realm vanished from the map. But it became the cradle of what we now know as the Low Countries, modern Belgium and the Netherlands. This is the story of a thousand years, a must-listen narrative history of ambitious aristocrats, family dysfunction, treachery, savage battles, luxury, and madness.
