"Moderne schelmen (Indië in Den Haag): Oorspronkelijke roman" by Jacob Dermout is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the Dutch East Indies and follows the lives of Jan van Vleuten and his wife Betsy, who find themselves navigating the complexities of life and society after returning to The Hague. As they settle into their new environment, the narrative begins to explore themes of morality, societal expectations, and the subtle intricacies of human relationships. The opening of the novel introduces us to Jan van Vleuten as he arrives at an hotel in The Hague on a sweltering afternoon, where the atmosphere is thick with heat. He soon reunites with his wife Betsy, whose playful demeanor contrasts with the more serious undertones surrounding them. Their peaceful encounter is swiftly disrupted by the presence of a sick neighbor whose unfortunate situation elicits a mix of compassion and concern from Jan and Betsy. As they try to assist the ailing man and his wife, the narrative sets up a larger commentary on societal norms and the human condition in their new setting, hinting at deeper conflicts that lie beneath the surface of their seemingly idyllic life.
