Kleine Zielen

Kleine Zielen

by Louis Couperus

De kleine zielen is een roman van Louis Couperus die zich afspeelt in Den Haag aan het begin van de 20e eeuw. Het verhaal draait om Constance van Lowe, een getrouwde vrouw die een affaire heeft met de secretaris van haar man, baron Van der Welcke. Wanneer de affaire aan het licht komt, wordt Constance gedwongen te scheiden en trouwt ze met Van der Welcke, hoewel ze hem niet meer liefheeft. Het verhaal verkent de dynamiek van een deftige Haagse familie en de complexiteit van liefde, verraad en sociale conventies in de context van hun wereld. Couperus schetst een levendig en kritisch portret van de Haagse elite en hun verborgen verlangens en geheimen.
