About This Item
Synopsis
Jan de Hartog grew up in a Dutch seaside village–a cabin boy at ten, then a sailor, war correspondent, and, during World War II, a secret courier for the British Royal Navy. In 1940, ten days before Nazi Germany invaded the Netherlands, de Hartog published a novel, Holland’s Glorie , which became for the Dutch a symbol of their resistance to the occupation. Forced to flee Holland because he had rescued the babies of Jews deported to Auschwitz, de Hartog escaped to London and eventually came to live in the United States, where he wrote twenty-one more novels, including The Peaceable Kingdom, and the play, The Fourposter, which was produced around the world. De Hartog died in 2002 at the age of eighty-eight.
