About this book

In the early 20th century, The Hague buzzed with the complexities of social change and cultural evolution. "Vlindertje: een Haagsche roman" by Henri Borel captures this vibrant milieu through the life of Ellie, a young woman navigating the intricate web of societal expectations and personal desires. As she immerses herself in the fashionable elite, the novel deftly examines themes of superficiality and identity. Borel's keen observations reveal the tensions between individual aspirations and collective norms, making this work a poignant reflection on the era. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians alike, "Vlindertje" offers a rich exploration of the human condition against a backdrop of historical significance, inviting readers to ponder the delicate balance between conformity and self-expression.
