The city of Amsterdam has always been the centre of freedom. In this book more than 100 eccentrics are portrayed. Performers, artists, locals (most of them newcomers in the city). Flamboyant people who live the city's messsage of freedom. People like: Fabiola, stringskater Henri Pronker, The Christmas Twins, owner of café 't Mandje at the Zeedijk Bet van Beeren, the group at the Haarlemmerpoort who once walked like aliens on the streets of Amsterdam, Jango Edwards and his Festival of Fools and many many more. Who were they? But also artists of today are interviewed: Bas Kosters, Beppy Viergever, Fardad Dadvand. The book reads like a celebration of life!
