Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Belgium The national culture Of Belgium is a synthesis, if I may so call it, where one finds the genius of two races - the Romance and the Germanic - mingled, yet modified by the imprint of the distinctively Belgian. It is in that very receptivity - the fact that it has absorbed and unified the best elements of Latin and Teutonic civilization - that the originality of the Belgian national culture resides.
