Autorenporträt
Louis Couperus (1863–1923) was a celebrated Dutch novelist and a preeminent figure in Dutch literature at the turn of the 20th century. Born in The Hague into a prominent and cosmopolitan family, Couperus was exposed to a variety of cultures and languages from an early age. His experiences in the Dutch East Indies and his extensive travels throughout Europe profoundly influenced his writing. Couperus's literary style is characterized by its poetic language, rich descriptions, psychological depth, and intricate narratives, exemplified in novels such as 'Eline Vere' and 'The Hidden Force.' His oeuvre encompasses a wide range of genres, including psychological novels, historical works, and fantastical stories, often reflecting the decadence and aesthetics of the fin de siècle. One of his notable works, 'Dr. Adriaan', illustrates Couperus's versatility as a writer and his ability to interweave personal drama with social commentary. Despite his illustrious career in letters, Couperus's recognition was posthumous, with his literary significance being reassessed and affirmed in later years. Today, he is recognized as a master of the Dutch modernist movement, and his works continue to be celebrated for their stylistic beauty and insightful exploration of humanity.
