Antwerpen, Zurenborg, 1904. Anna overhaalt haar Duitse minnaar Heinz om een huis te bouwen in de Cogels-Osylei. Architect Jos Bascourt krijgt de opdracht. De twee mannen werken samen aan het art-nouveauhuis, dat al snel de naam Morgenster krijgt. Tussen de zwierige krullen en ornamenten die stilaan vorm krijgen, meanderen ook de levens van de drie: Jos, die steeds meer voor Anna begint te voelen, Heinz, die blijft pendelen tussen Antwerpen en zijn thuisstad Hamburg, en Anna, die als vrouw haar weg zoekt in een wereld die nog steeds wordt gedomineerd door mannen. Tegen de achtergrond van de belle époque, de broedkamer van de wereld zoals wij die kennen, vertelt Dirk Van Boxem in Morgenster een verhaal van persoonlijke emancipatie en maatschappelijke ontvoogding, en van de eeuwige strijd om de liefde. Dirk Van Boxem (1966) was en is IT manager, consultant, programmadirecteur, change manager en coach. Hij publiceerde verhalen in De Brakke Hond, gedichten in Het Gezeefde Gedicht, en houdt met Bijgekleurd een blog bij. Morgenster is zijn debuut.

An essential classic
Format: Paperback
The book has a scathing view of nobility and the upper class, with the regular people just a part of the scenery, so an allegory that has aged well and applies to modern times. I think it's an essential read to anyone who enjoys literature, as it can be argued that it's the genesis of many themes in modern stories.

Not bad, but still had flaws
Format: Paperback
While the novel was great in a way, I felt that it was outdated to me. It was written in the time that anti-heros were poorly made and if the creator of Reynard was aiming for Anti-hero when developing Reynard, he missed and hit sociopath instad. The pictures in the books are also outdated and laughable in our times. Reynard looks more like a shaved dog on the cover, I had a hard time identifying Noble the lion in his photos, ect. and the ending did`nt seem fullfilling though I felt a kick of excitment a few times.

Nice translation
Format: Paperback
It is not easy to translate poetry into poetry. It's bad enough simply trying to translate to prose. Ms. Terry does an excellent job. I read Le Roman de Renart in French while I was studying in France. Years later, I came across this translation. It is fascinating the way the original storytellers portrayed Renart. He is a completely hateful creature. Yet reading about him is fun. It's similar to how I feel about stories of Loki or Coyote. Renart is closer to Loki than to Coyote, despite the canine ancestry. He is more than simply a trickster: he is malevolent. If you have an interest in ancient folktales, you mustn't miss the story of Renart. This translation is different from any other I've read. The introduction gives a good perspective on the times when the stories were hatched.

Pretty good translation into English. Far from a complete collection, but certainly a good foundation.
