| Summary | "Van hoog en laag" by Cyriel Buysse is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the lives of the inhabitants of the small village of Meulegem, focusing particularly on the contrasting lives of the aristocratic families residing in nearby castles and the village's humble residents. The story begins with rich descriptions of the landscape and the relationships between the nobility and the villagers, hinting at themes of poverty, aspiration, and art. The opening of the book introduces the picturesque setting of Meulegem, characterized by its two dominating castles and the surrounding natural beauty. It presents the daily lives of its inhabitants, including young cowherds who play and work in the fields. Among them is Fonske, a shy and artistic young boy who prefers drawing to the rough play of his peers. As the narrative unfolds, Fonske encounters the noble children, sparking a significant turn in his simple life. This initial portion sets the stage for exploring Fonske's artistic aspirations and the social divides that exist in this idyllic yet complex world. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
