Twijfelen aan het kolonialisme.In de laatste jaren van zijn leven gaf Louis Couperus nog een nieuwe draai aan zijn carrière. Op uitnodiging van de krant Haagsche Post reisde hij onder andere naar Nederlands-Indië en Japan. Hij deed verslag van die reizen in zijn `reisbrieven', verzameld in `Nippon' en `Oostwaarts'. In dit boek volgen we hem Gibraltar naar Genua, dan naar Port Saïd en het Suez-kanaal, om dan de grote oversteek te wagen naar Sumatra, Java, Bali. Het is een reisverhaal, maar ook een soort dagboek, waarin de auteur nu eens met bewondering schrijft over het bewind van de Nederlanders, maar even vaak twijfelt aan de zegeningen van dat kolonialisme. `Oostwaarts' was het laatste boek waarvan Couperus zelf de proeven corrigeerde; enkele dagen voordat het verscheen overleed hij.Louis Couperus (1863-1923) was een Nederlands romanschrijver, columnist en dichter. Hij is de auteur van verschillende onverwoestbare klassiekers: 'Eline Vere' (een bestseller bij verschijnen), 'Van oude menschen, de dingen, die voorbij gaan...' (verfilmd), 'De stille kracht'... Hij woonde o.m. in Frankrijk en Italië en reisde de wereld rond. Of zijn romans zich nu afspelen in Den Haag of Djakarta, het heden of het oude Rome, het noodlot speelt altijd een grote rol. Couperus schreef in een meeslepende, emotionele stijl. Zijn verzameld werk bestrijkt vijftig boekdelen.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was nine years old and living in a town called Sylvan Lake, Alberta, Canada. I trusted what I knew about the world, which was a tribe of pygmy archers in the Congo and the green geometry of Kyoto's tea gardens. #2 My mother had known Russell for years before he became her boyfriend. He had been raised on the Sunchild First Nation Reserve, and had four brothers who ended up somewhere between the reserve and Red Deer. #3 My mother had a relationship with Russell, which was a sort of screw-you directed at all the white kids she went to high school with in Red Deer. Russell gave her an odd new cachet. He was young and mildly handsome, and came from a place that was considered wild and unusual. #4 I had a brother, Mark, who was 13 when we moved to Sylvan Lake. We would go to the dumpster outside our apartment building to find things to sell. We would visit five or six garbage bins regularly, and would bring home lots of money.
