This historical overview explores the origins and early development of the Frisian people. Written in the nineteenth century, the text employs formal, academic Dutch vocabulary that reflects the scholarly style of that era. You will encounter long, complex sentences with intricate grammatical structures, which can be challenging for language learners. The narrative focuses on historical theories, ancient legends, and archaeological findings. It is a demanding read that requires patience, but it offers a fascinating look at how history was documented in the past.

Questions about this book
What level of Dutch do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 12 h 42 min at a native pace, spread over 127 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
