¶ Louis Couperus thought this novel about terrorism, anarchism, decadence and mysticism was one of the most beautiful books by his literary friend Wagenvoort.
} 'The Dreamers' by Maurits Wagenvoort should be a minor classic from fin de siècle literature. Not so much for its literary qualities, but because it is very typical for its time and very entertaining, almost cinematic, reading material. { Source: Sander Bink ~ https://rond1900.nl/maurits-wagenvoort-de-droomers-1900/
