De Scheepsjongen van "De Gouden Leeuw"
Produced by R.G.P.M. van Giesen
"De Scheepsjongen van 'De Gouden Leeuw'" by Johannes Hendrik Been is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the early 17th century and revolves around the life of a young boy named Witte, who is caught between the life of a seaman and the expectations of his family and society. The narrative explores themes of duty, personal aspiration, and the societal constraints faced by individuals during this era. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the household of widow de With, who is busy with her sewing as the dim winter afternoon sets in. The scene unfolds with interactions between her children, Andries and Katrijn, and hints at a deeper concern for their brother Witte, who aspires to follow the adventurous life at sea. A mysterious seaman, Captain Geen Huyghen Schapenham, appears, indicating an interest in Witte, which stirs both hope and apprehension within the family. The opening chapter sets a tone of familial tension and the struggles of a young boy yearning for freedom while navigating the complexities of his mother's strict expectations and societal norms.
