'Jan, Jannetje en hun jongste kind' Summary
In "Jan, Jannetje en hun jongste kind," E.J. Potgieter presents a scathing social commentary on the state of Dutch society in 1841. The story follows the titular Jan and Jannetje, representing the traditional Dutch populace, and their children, each embodying a specific aspect of the nation's identity: commerce, colonialism, military, and more. The family's well-being is threatened by the youngest son, Jan Salie, who symbolizes the lethargy and apathy Potgieter believed were crippling 19th-century Dutch society. The novel is an exploration of the nation's shortcomings and a call for revitalization.Book Details
