Description

In a sun‑dappled garden behind the Van Hogerveldt household, a lively debate unfolds over tea and a spreading newspaper. Van Hogerveldt, a seasoned businessman, pressures his son Karel to loosen his relentless work ethic, while the young scholar argues that reputation and a solid practice are his true ambitions. Their sister Anna, moving gently among the flowerbeds, offers quiet observations that hint at deeper familial loyalties and unspoken desires.

The dialogue crackles with wit and generational clash, as inheritance, social standing, and the allure of leisure are weighed against duty and personal fulfillment. Listeners are drawn into a world where every remark about “the future” or “the cost of extravagance” reverberates with both humor and tension, setting the stage for choices that will ripple through the family’s life.

About the authors

PA

P. A. (Paul Adriaan) Daum

1849–1898

A sharp-eyed journalist turned novelist, he brought life in the Dutch East Indies onto the page with wit, realism, and a strong feel for everyday human weakness. His stories first reached readers as newspaper serials, which helped make them vivid, fast-moving, and widely read.

Johan Jacob Estor

Best remembered as a 19th-century Dutch playwright, this little-documented writer is chiefly associated with the 1886 stage work De Hogerveldt's. Surviving records are sparse, which gives the work an extra sense of period curiosity.
