Produktbeschreibung

In Louis Couperus' 'Footsteps of Fate', readers are taken on a journey through the complexities of human relationships, focusing on the themes of fate, love, and betrayal. Couperus' intricate prose style and attention to detail in character development provide a rich literary experience for readers, reminiscent of 19th-century European literature. The novel is set against the backdrop of a changing society, where traditional values clash with modernity, mirroring the author's own experiences living in the Netherlands during a period of cultural upheaval. Couperus' exploration of the characters' inner turmoil and external conflicts adds depth to the narrative, leading readers to reflect on their own choices and their impact on their destinies. 'Footsteps of Fate' can be seen as a critique of societal norms and a meditation on the power of fate in shaping our lives, making it a compelling read for those interested in psychological literature and social commentary.

Autorenporträt

Louis Marie-Anne Couperus was a Dutch author and poet who lived from June 10, 1863, to July 16, 1923. Lyric poems, psychological and historical novels, novellas, short stories, fairy tales, feuilletons, and sketches are just some of the types of writing he has done. Couperus is thought to be one of the most important people in Dutch writing. He was given the Tollensprijs (Tollens Prize) in 1923. Couperus and his wife took many trips in Europe and Asia, and he later wrote a series of travel books about those trips that came out every week. Louis Marie-Anne Couperus was born on June 10, 1863, at Mauritskade 11 in The Hague, Netherlands. She came from an Indo family that had been in the Dutch East Indies for a long time and was part of the colonial landed class. He was the eleventh and youngest child of Catharina Geertruida Reynst (1829-1893) and John Ricus Couperus (1816-1902). John Ricus Couperus was a well-known colonial official, lawyer, and landheer or lord of the private domain (particuliere land) of Tjikopo in Java. He was a great-grandson of Governor of Malacca Abraham Couperus (1752-1813) and Governor of Ambon Willem Jacob Cranssen (1762-1821). His father was related to them through a female line that goes back to the middle of the 18th century.
