A classic novel in the tradition of The Tin Drum, The Sorrow of Belgium is a searing, scathingly funny portrait of a wartime Belgium and one boy's coming of age—emotionally, sexually, and politically.

The Sorrow of Belgium by Hugo Claus is a profound and evocative coming-of-age novel set against the tumultuous backdrop of World War II.

This literary masterpiece delves into the life of young Louis Seynaeve, a boy growing up in Nazi-occupied Belgium. As Louis navigates the complexities of adolescence, he is confronted with the harsh realities of war, political intrigue, and the struggle for cultural identity.

Claus masterfully weaves a narrative that explores the intersection of personal and historical events, capturing the essence of a nation in turmoil. Through rich character development and poignant storytelling, The Sorrow of Belgium offers a compelling exploration of resistance, family dynamics, and the quest for self-discovery amidst the chaos of war.

Epic in scope, by turns hilarious and elegiac, The Sorrow of Belgium is the masterwork by one of the world's greatest contemporary authors.
