About this book
In the late 19th century, as industrialization reshaped society, Henri Borel's "Leliënstad" emerges as a poignant exploration of social disparity. The novel follows Paulus, a young man grappling with the stark contrasts between the suffering of the impoverished and the opulence of the wealthy. Through his journey, Borel vividly illustrates themes of justice and compassion, inviting readers to reflect on the moral responsibilities of individuals within a rapidly changing world. Ideal for students and civic activists, "Leliënstad" challenges its audience to confront the ethical dilemmas of their own society. This compelling narrative not only captivates with its rich character development but also serves as a critical commentary on the human condition, making it a must-read for historians and social reformers alike.
