Summary "Het ivoren aapje: Een roman van Brusselsch leven" by Herman Teirlinck is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story delves into the intricacies of life in Brussels, particularly focusing on the lives of the bourgeoisie and their social dynamics. The protagonist, Ernest Verlat, navigates through themes of grief, self-reflection, and personal growth following the death of his mother, Mrs. Chanteraine. The opening of the novel introduces a somber atmosphere as we witness the aftermath of Mrs. Chanteraine’s death. Set in a high-ceilinged room bathed in candlelight and adorned with flowers, the scene captures Ernest's struggle with overwhelming grief and guilt. As he attends to the body of his mother, he is plagued by memories and regrets about their relationship, grappling with profound feelings of loss. In a world where social appearances hold great importance, Ernest is acutely aware of how others perceive his sorrow. His internal battle with his emotions sets the tone for the unfolding narrative, hinting at a deeper exploration of human relationships against the backdrop of societal expectations.
