"De Kennemer Vrijbuiter" by Cornelis Johannes Kieviet is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set during the tumultuous times of the Eighty Years' War in the late 16th century, the book revolves around the lives of the Kennemer Freebooters, a group of Dutch patriots who fought against Spanish oppression. The narrative highlights themes of courage, national pride, and the hardships faced by those living under oppressive rule. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to the humble farmhouse of Floris Geurtsz, a farmer alive during a period of intense conflict in the Netherlands. Floris is depicted as a devout man who cherishes his family's safety and religious beliefs amid the rising tensions against the Spanish authority. The story sets a tense atmosphere as Floris reads from the Bible to his family, illustrating their fears and hopes. The narrative further develops as characters like the Watergeus, soldiers guarding the area, intrude upon their lives, bringing both danger and courage into the domestic space, while hinting at ongoing struggles and the dichotomy of loyalty and treachery among neighbors.
