Het Heelal is the Dutch edition of Hawking's classic A Brief History of Time. I brought this copy from Holland a few weeks ago. It was on my parent's attic in our boxes so I'm sure it's my copy, but I don't remember how I got it.

It's not the first time I read this book, and last winter I read several articles by Hawkings, but it's always a great read. The idea of a time-space continuum is appealing, but difficult to understand, I'll admit.

It was interesting to read the book in Dutch (I usually try to read books in their original English, but hey, I had it on my bookshelves). The translator had Hawkings use Dam Square in Amsterdam as a reference point. Good translations though.
