Nieuw ontdekte oorlogsdagboeken van August Vermeylen
August Vermeylen, a Flemish writer, art historian, and politician, was not only known for his essays and novels but also for being an avid diarist. In a diary entry on September 12, 1939, he writes, "Today I turn 67 and find it a reason to keep another diary." Despite his prolific career, few are aware of Vermeylen's extensive collection of diaries. This is the first-ever publication of three notebooks that cover the period of World War II. These diaries shed light on Vermeylen's writing, his professional network, his relationships with friends and loved ones, and the daily life during the occupation. Furthermore, they provide a glimpse into the thoughts of an artistic mind and leading intellectual. The entries are eloquently crafted, challenging, and at times, deeply moving. These personal records hold immense significance for Dutch literary history and the socio-cultural history of Belgium.
