Synopsis'Anyone who is not astonished at Professor Veth's knowledge knows nothing about knowledge.' Thus spoke 'Multatuli', one of the most important anti-colonial writers ( Max Havelaar ) of modern Dutch history.P.J. Veth was the man who discovered 'Multatuli', and he himself was a remarkable pamphleteer. With his great knowledge of the 'Dutch-Indies', Veth played an influential role in shaping the Dutch 'identity'; without the Dutch-Indies, the 19th-century Netherlands would be unthinkable. Paul van der Velde describes the turbulent life of Veth, and his passion to get the 'Dutch-Indies' accepted as an adult partner. He was the scourge of the conservative Netherlands, and his role in the literary and political circles of his time was quite remarkable. He was one of the most eminent Dutch scholars with an international reputation. A Life-long Passion gives a vivid insight into the life of this exceptional 19th century man., P.J.

He was one of the most eminent Dutch scholars with an international reputation. A Life-long Passion gives a vivid insight into the life of this exceptional 19th century man., With his great knowledge of the Dutch Indies--although he never went there himself--P. J. Veth played an influential role in the shaping of Dutch identity, of which the vast Asian colony was an inseperable part. His numerous publications on a wide range of subjects attest to his knowledge and industriousness. Paul van der Velde describes Veth's turbulent life and his passionate desire to have the Dutch Indies accepted by the Neterlands as a full partner. Veth was the scourge of conservatives in the Netherlands, and, as one of the most eminent and internationally reputed Dutch scholars, played a remarkable role in the literary and political circles of his time. A Lifelong Passion gives a vivid insight into the life of this exceptional nineteenth-century man.
