This play is a symbolic performance written in the early twentieth century. It features poetic language and elaborate stage directions that describe the movements of characters representing virtues. The vocabulary is formal and literary, reflecting the artistic style of its era. You will encounter long, descriptive sentences that require careful attention to follow the complex choreography of the actors. The themes focus on virtues such as enthusiasm, prudence, and patience, presented through lyrical verses that challenge your understanding of classical Dutch phrasing.

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 1 h at a native pace, spread over 17 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
