Exclusive print with photo of Stijn Streuvels with signature in original handwriting (pencil). See pictures. Exact date unknown but from the 1950'ies. This beautiful object was given by the author to Lou Nagels, publisher in Hasselt who was a very good friend. Dimensions: 12 x 18 cm Streuvels (1871-1969) was a Flemish writer who is considered one of the most important innovators in Dutch-language literature. In a highly creative and original language, Streuvels wrote naturalistic novellas that are related to the work of Emile Zola and the great Russian authors of his time (particularly Tolstoy). Literary experts agree that the visionary strength of his work, the unrelenting recognition of reality without moralizing commentary, the creative linguistic power of his prose and the universality of the themes discussed have lifted his work above particularisme and regional literature.
