Two
new books by Johan van Rhijn in 2019
Within
three months my two most recent books were published (both in Dutch): 'de Enne Jans Heerd op Maarhuizen' en 'Geleerd
bedrog' (in the mean time also as
e-book)!!
The
first copy of 'de Enne
Jans Heerd op Maarhuizen' has been offered at 17 May 2019 to the 88
years old Duurt de Vries, the last farmer.

The
Enne Jans Heerd is a monumental farm on top of the very old terp of
Maarhuizen with an old cemetery in its front garden. It is owned by the
Dutch company for nature management Staatsbosbeheer. My son and daughter
in law are living at the farm with their young children. They intend to
organize activities for visitors to experience culture and nature at that
location.

by Johan Dijkstra from 1962
The
book is illustratred with splendid photos by Harry Cock. The cover is
based on a painting of the farm from 1962 by Johan Dijkstra, one of the
Dutch 'De Ploeg' painters. Theo Spek, professor of landscape history
provided a foreword. Designer Maartje ter Veen (Studio MARCHA!) made a
real piece of art of this book. The book is sold at the farm for € 20.50
(or by by sending an
email with your name and adress to hallo@ennejansheerd.nl
) and also via webshops.

'Geleerd
bedrog' was published
by the end of February 2019. It is a novel (my first) with satirical and
thriller-like elements on a subtle case of fraud in science.
