About this eBook

Author Ostaijen, Paul van, 1896-1928
Title Bezette stad
Credits Produced by Marc D'Hooghe
Summary "Bezette stad" by Paul van Ostaijen is a collection of poetry written during the early 20th century. The book is a significant work of modernist literature that reflects the author's response to the profound social and political changes occurring in Belgium, particularly in the context of World War I. The poems in "Bezette stad" intertwine personal emotion with vivid imagery and innovative form, capturing the chaos and dislocation of wartime life. Van Ostaijen explores themes of urban existence, alienation, and the impacts of conflict on the human psyche. Through a rich tapestry of words and sounds, he portrays the city of Antwerp under siege, blending personal experience with collective memory, and evokes a sense of longing for peace amid turmoil. This work stands out for its experimental approach, challenging traditional poetic forms and reflecting the fragmented reality of the era. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
