About this ebook:
Louis Seynaeve, élève dans un pensionnat de religieuses, puis dans un collège de jésuites, est un enfant précoce qui cache ses blessures intimes sous une carapace d'indifférence. Avec une lucidité inquiétante, il regarde les adultes se débattre autour de lui : en ces temps troublés (1939-1947), la ville de Walle, à deux pas de la frontière française, est le théâtre d'un écartèlement. Les Flamands sont pris en tenaille entre leur fidélité à la Belgique et la fraternité pangermanique offerte par l'Allemagne nazie. Confusion, insatisfaction et sentiment de duperie tisseront les années d'enfance et d'adolescence de Louis. A travers une incroyable galerie de portraits, Le Chagrin des Belges révèle tout l'exotisme d'un pays si proche, d'un " plat pays " extraordinaire qui est celui de Breughel, d'Ensor et de Ghelderode.
