Summary "Multatuli" by Jeanette van den Bergh van Eysinga-Elias is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the life and contributions of the prominent Dutch writer Eduard Douwes Dekker, known by his pen name Multatuli, particularly focusing on his ideals of freedom and justice influenced by his revolutionary context. The biography likely covers significant events in Dekker's life—his childhood, experiences in the Dutch East Indies, and the social and political changes he sought to inspire. The opening of the book delves into the historical backdrop of Europe during the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, highlighting the contrasts between revolutionary fervor and the conservatism that followed. It introduces Dekker’s upbringing, outlining the dynamic between his authoritarian father and nurturing mother, as well as his early dreams of making a difference in the world. The passage emphasizes the roots of his idealism, including tales of social injustices he perceived in his youth and the sense of responsibility that ultimately guided his life and writings. This foundation sets the stage for his later work advocating for the rights of the oppressed, establishing the significant societal impact he would strive to achieve.
