Nacht Over Java

Rate this book
Ik draag dit boek op aan mijn geboorteland Java, dat in majesteitelijke, eeuwige rust boven alle troebelen van bewogen, vergankelijke dagen uitrijst;

Aan Java, dat door den glimlach zijner lieflijke en lichte schoonheid alle wonden weer zal heelen en ook ons leed eenmaal in zijn rijke sagenwereld zal opnemen;

Aan Java, dat ons zooveel nader is gekomen sedert het, onbereikbaar ver, achter de horizon wegzonk...

About the author

Johan Fabricius

108 books5 followers
Johan Fabricius (1899–1981) combined his various talents and character traits in his acclaimed historical stories, novels (for young readers) and plays: his desire for adventure and his wanderlust provided him with a variety of subjects. His evocative skill, which he honed during his training as a realistic figurative painter at the Academy of Art in The Hague, inspired him to create wonderfully detailed, atmospheric descriptions. And his gently romantic nature provided his realistic stories with drama and with fantastic characters.

Fabricius was an independent spirit. With the exception of literary greats such as Tolstoy, Dostoyevski and his contemporary J. Slauerhoff, he took inspiration from no one. He chose his own path, travelled all over the world and was not only an author, but also a correspondent for the BBC and The Times. And meanwhile, he tirelessly continued to write.

Nou, dit audioboek dus uit. En weet nog steeds niet waar dit verhaal nou over ging.

Kan te maken hebben met de voorlezer van het boek, of misschien het verhaal zelf. Al dat ik weet is dat er een groepje mannen (soldaten, mariniers) een actie hielden tegen de Japanners tijdens de bezetting van Java. Wat precies het doel was, en hoe is nog steeds onduidelijk.

Geen aanrader.
