Camera Obscura
'Camera Obscura' Summary
De Camera Obscura is een verzameling verhalen en beschouwingen van Hildebrand, het pseudoniem van Nicolaas Beets. Het boek verscheen in 1839 en geeft een scherpe blik op het Nederland van de 19e eeuw, met humoristische observaties over de samenleving, familieleven en de snel veranderende wereld. Beets bekritiseert met subtiele ironie de normen en waarden van zijn tijd, met name in de bekende verhalen over de familie Stastok en het tragische lot van 'Het diakenhuismannetje'.Book Details
