What do you do when you come across your father's diary – who didn't mince his words?
Piet Van Damme does not hesitate. He looks at the pre-war world (from 1932 -1940) through his father's eyes and compares it with his own ideas. He supplements emotional and instructive memories and places a few poems by his mother next to the diary fragments.
A book that can certainly also be interesting for those who do not know the main characters. What a life has to offer on a personal, political, scientific, economic and soul level merges in the sharp pen of Jozef Van Damme, the poetic pen of Lieve Ketele and the worn pen of Piet Van Damme.
Piet Van Damme:
Piet Van Damme (Blankenberge 1947) was the youngest of a family of doctors and also studied medicine. This was followed by 41 years of general practice, a flat but fascinating career, the same every day and yet never copy-paste.
The interest in history and art, or rather in everything that is human beings, was born with the spoon-fed, was a good prevention of burnout or professional idiocy.
