Beschreibung

The Later Life is a novel written by Louis Couperus and published in 1915. The book explores the themes of aging, regret, and the search for meaning in life. The story follows the life of protagonist Maurits van der Welcke, a successful businessman who has reached a point in his life where he begins to question the meaning and purpose of his existence. As he reflects on his past, Maurits realizes that he has lived a life of superficiality and materialism, and that he has neglected the things that truly matter in life, such as love, family, and friendship. With the help of a wise and philosophical friend, Maurits embarks on a journey of self-discovery and begins to explore the deeper meaning of life. Along the way, he encounters a cast of characters who challenge his beliefs and help him to see the world in a new light.
