Book Overview

My Poor Relations Volume 2: Stories of Dutch Peasant Life is a collection of short stories written by Maarten Maartens and originally published in 1904. The book is a continuation of the first volume and features more tales set in the Dutch countryside, exploring the lives of the rural poor. The stories are filled with vivid descriptions of the landscapes, customs, and traditions of the Dutch peasants, and the characters are all richly drawn and deeply human. Some of the stories deal with themes of love, loss, and family, while others focus on the struggles of everyday life in a harsh and unforgiving environment. Throughout the book, Maartens displays a deep understanding of the human condition and a talent for storytelling that has made him one of the most beloved Dutch writers of all time. This volume is a must-read for anyone interested in Dutch literature or the lives of the rural poor in the early 20th century.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
