Synopsis
In 1939, Louis Seynaeve, a ten-year-old Flemish student, is chiefly occupied with schoolboy adventures and lurid adolescent fantasies. Then the Nazis invade Belgium, and he grows up fast. Bewildered by his family--a stuffy father who welcomes the occupation and a flirtatious mother who works for (and plays with) the Germans--he is seemingly at the center of so much he can't understand. Gradually, as he confronts the horrors of the war and its aftermath, the eccentric and often petty behavior of his colorful relatives and neighbors, and his own inner turmoil, he achieves a degree of maturity--at the cost of deep disillusion. Epic in scope, by turns hilarious and elegiac, The Sorrow of Belgium is the masterwork by one of the world's greatest contemporary authors., The Sorrow of Belgium by Hugo Claus is a profound and evocative coming-of-age novel set against the tumultuous backdrop of World War II. This literary masterpiece delves into the life of young Louis Seynaeve, a boy growing up in Nazi-occupied Belgium. As Louis navigates the complexities of adolescence, he is confronted with the harsh realities of war, political intrigue, and the struggle for cultural identity. Claus masterfully weaves a narrative that explores the intersection of personal and historical events, capturing the essence of a nation in turmoil. Through rich character development and poignant storytelling, The Sorrow of Belgium offers a compelling exploration of resistance, family dynamics, and the quest for self-discovery amidst the chaos of war. Epic in scope, by turns hilarious and elegiac, The Sorrow of Belgium is the masterwork by one of the world's greatest contemporary authors., A classic novel in the tradition of The Tin Drum, The Sorrow of Belgium is a searing, scathingly funny portrait of a wartime Belgium and one boy's coming of age--emotionally, sexually, and politically.
