Frederik van Eedens masterpiece, De Kleine Johannes, first graced the pages of the literary journal De Nieuwe Gids in the 1880s, offering a fresh perspective in Dutch literature. Promising further tales of Johannes, van Eeden later unveiled two sequels, collectively published in English as The Quest in 1911. (Summary by Phil Benson)
