About this title

Synopsis

During the German occupation of Holland, tobacconist Henri Osewoudt is visited by a man named Dorbeck, who strangely proves to be Osewoudt’s spitting image in reverse. Dorbeck assigns Osewoudt to commit a series of dangerous assignments but things quickly go awry, with Osewoudt eventually killing his own wife. After the war, Osewoudt is taken for a traitor and captured. Osewoudt cannot prove that he received assignments from Dorbeck—he cannot even prove that his doppelganger ever existed.

About the Author

Willem Frederik Hermans (1921-1995) is widely considered perhaps the most important Western European author to emerge from the postwar period. His novels, short stories, essays, and philosophical and scientific writings represent a major body of work being discovered in the United States.
