Boreal Bushcraft
Living in the wild from the wildWhat if you disconnect from society altogether? Urban nomads know what that's like, but they continue to live in the city in frayed corners and live on a kind of handouts and what others throw away. In countries with lots of nature and few inhabitants per square kilometer, some daredevils disconnect completely. They make a place where they live and live entirely self-sufficiently. Bushcraft is called that, the skill of living in the wild from the wild. They do have some trade with the "inhabited world" for tools, gasoline, solar panels, clothes, batteries and lights. In this narrative, we follow a man as he disconnects from society in a natural area. We live with him as he makes decisions, builds cabins and boats, bakes pots and hauls firewood endlessly. Until uninvited people come to his door asking: can I too? For children, he kneels down. This is idyllic for a while, but more damaged children arrive. Does he know how to hold his own as a maverick eccentric?

Tears from Brabant
This is a novel with many themes. It is about Brabant, a land that is presently half in the Netherlands and the other half in Belgium. It is also the story of a little Brabanter boy, born the year Adolf Hitler came to power. The boy wants a good life and that is not so easy because the Catholic Brabanters are kept down by the Calvinist Hollanders. Many other modern themes come by, such as the Second World War, the emancipation (of women but also of the Catholics), the pill and its effects, secularization, wealth. Our young hero goes to Canada where he can make his dream career come true. This is also a singular love story, although it all seems to end in disaster. He then returns to the Netherlands, divorced, impoverished, disillusioned to find a new love, then losing it again and finally turning to a new form of happiness in a world that has changed beyond recognition. For those not so familiar with Dutch history the book starts with a two page short introduction to the 1700 years of Brabant history. Auguste van der Molenschot was born from Belgian parents but he lived his young years in the Dutch province of North Brabant. After a career in the beta sciences he started a new career as a writer, publishing poetry, short stories, essays and now this, his first novel. See also his website www.nostalgiapublishing.nl
