The End of People in 1967

In this collection of stories, HERMAN BRUSSELMANS LOOKS back WITH NOSTALGIA on the archetypal Flemish people and their seemingly insignificant, but underlying, simmering and vibrant lives in the countryside of the sixties. He uses his knowledge of the subject, the cherishing of his own memory, his innate compassion for the outcasts and the simple souls and his belief in the universality of everything that is human: love, hate, desire, envy, jealousy, ambition, fear, passion, eternal shortcoming and everything that goes with it. Herman Brusselmans (1957) has published more than fifty books. He is both relocated and idolized. He is a very important writer.
