Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Ecstasy is a novel of burning passion and agonising restraint. In turn-of the-century Holland, Cecile, a beautiful high-society widow, falls in love with a notorious womanizer, but her desire must remain unspoken. This is one of Couperus's most powerful novels. A brilliant observer of fin-de-siecle Dutch society, his works are characterised by perfect characterisation, exquisite description and a mordant wit, which brought comparisons to Oscar Wilde. 'Couperus binds both irony and spiritual redemption. ' The Daily Telegraph 'Couperus' sympathy for the hybrid, the impure and the ambiguous gave him a peculiarly modern voice. It is extraordinary that this Dutch dandy, writing in the flowery language of fin-de-siecle decadence, should still sound so fresh.' Ian Buruma, The New York Times Review of BooksLouis Couperus (18631923), regarded as one of the foremost figures in Dutch literature, was a leading member of the Tachtigers movement. Born in the Hague, Couperus was taken by his family to the Dutch East Indies as a child, where he remained until his father's death. His other novels include Eline Vere (1889), Ecstasy (Extaze: Een boek van geluk, 1892), Inevitable (Langs lijnen van geleidelijkheid, 1900), and The Hidden Force (De Stille Kracht, 1900), all of which are available from Pushkin Press. A renowned wit, raconteur and commentator, Couperus continued to publish critically and commercially successful work until his death. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Softcover. Condition: Gut bis sehr gut. Louis Marie-Anne Couperus (1863-1923) was a Dutch novelist and poet of the late 19th and early 20th century. He is usually considered one of the foremost figures in Dutch literature. He came to fame with the publication of his first novel Eline Vere (1888), a naturalist work influenced by French novelists like Emile Zola and Gustave Flaubert. His 1891 novel Noodlot (Footsteps of Fate) was much admired by Oscar Wilde, and many have noted stylistic similarities between Noodlot and Wilde's 1890 novel The Picture of Dorian Gray. Couperus attained popularity with his novels Majesteit (Majesty, 1893) and Wereldvrede (World Peace, 1895), both set among royals in modern Europe, threatened with anarchism. Also his fairy tale Psyche (1898) has often been reprinted.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Nederlands-Indië/Indonesië bood en biedt veel stof voor schrijvers. Maar in de Nederlandse misdaadroman wordt het land weinig als locatie gebruikt, ondanks mysterieuze zaken als goena-goena, stille kracht, de kris. De schrijvers die dit wel deden geven een veelkleurig palet te zien. Van de avonturenromans van Ucee (Ulrich Coldenhoff) via boeken met een politieke boodschap van Ivans (Jakob van Schevichaven) en Minne van der Staal naar de hard-boiled thrillers van Joop van den Broek. En meer recent Tomas Ross en Paul Koetsier. En dan zijn er nog schrijvers als Jan Palet (Anita Rambonnet) en Paul Jörgen.Waar terecht veel aandacht besteed wordt aan 'serieuze' schrijvers als Daum, Louis Couperus, Hella Haasse e.v.a. met hun Indisch werk is de triviale misdaadroman nog nauwelijks systematisch bestudeerd. Dit boekje probeert hier verandering in aan te brengen, want zowel voor liefhebbers van het land als van misdaadliteratuur valt er best nog wel iets moois te ontdekken.
