Book Description
A classic novel in the tradition of The Tin Drum, The Sorrow of Belgium is a searing, scathingly funny portrait of a wartime Belgium and one boy's coming of age-emotionally, sexually, and politically. Epic in scope, by turns hilarious and elegiac, The Sorrow of Belgium is the masterwork of one of the world's greatest contemporary authors.

Two-Books-in-One.......2007-09-14
My rating of four stars reflects the fact that I give five stars to the first part and three to the last part. The first third of the book is a beautiful, heartbreaking story of one schoolboy's love for his male friend. However many schoolboy romances there are, we can always use more of them. On the other hand, the last two-thirds of the book gives us an overlong mishmash of interactions between largely uninteresting characters (with some notable exceptions, such as the boy who earns a little money by sharing his body with a man in the neighborhood). I do recommend the book overall, but understand that you may find it a real slog getting to the end.
What can you say?.......2004-09-26
I don't understand why all these Flemish Belgians review 'The Sorrow of Belgium' here at Amazon, just to say that it is a bad book. Probably they haven't read it. Or they had to read it or some other novel, play, piece of poetry by Claus at school, and disliked it at that time. One thing is for sure : they don't have the slightest insight in this book, or in any of Claus' work. Maybe they disagree with Claus' vision on Belgium, Catholicism, etc. To dislike Claus is only possible when you don't understand him. The Flemish reviewers just want to spit their frustration (call it : their ignorance) on the internet... It's silly.
The book isn't only the story of a childhood, a Bildungsroman, a war novel, a depiction of Belgian society during World War II, a postmodern novel with a procession of intertextual references to the Bible, Classical Mythology, Shakespeare, Jacob van Maerlant, Dante, Hölderlin, Gezelle, etc. It is a stilistic masterwork as well. Full of wit. Fabulous imaginery. Poetic. This is the work of a genuine writer, one out of many.
Too read Claus is to read a piece of art. He can only be compared to the greatest writers of all time : Joyce, Proust, Mann, Tolstoy, Borges, Ibsen, Pasolini... What can you say when you have finished 'The Sorrow of Belgium'? Maybe that you are stunned?
To long to be good..........2004-07-29
Just before the Big War, Louis Seynaeve is still a boy of eleven years. He grows up in the nunnery in Haarbeke, also known as the Reformatory. Together with his friends Dondeyne, Byttebier and Vlieghe he forms the secret society The Four Apostles. Later their club is reinforced by the new guy Goosens. Their main vocation is to get a hold of 'forbidden books'. One day father and grandfather Seynaeve visit Louis to bring him bad news: Louis' mother fell from the stairs and is taken to the hospital. The truth is that she is pregnant and that any moment now she can give birth to a brother that will upset the easy life Louis was living.
Like so many authors who were adolescent during the Second World War, Hugo Claus is gifted with a relentless urge to get in touch with what happened during his youth. The Sorrow of Belgium is clearly the culmination point of war drama in the works of this Belgian author. Claus does not narrate the heroic deeds of the soldiers, but paints a colorful canvas of life under repression. Simple factory workers and storekeepers are trying to make the best out of things, but more often than not they fall into despair and misery. All this makes great prose as seen through the eyes of the child, Louis Seynaeve.
But then something strange happens. In the middle of the book Hugo Claus decides to changes style completely. Instead of the steady sequential narrative of the first part, the reader gets a mishmash of impressions. The few storylines that are developed die in a pool of chaos. Suddenly the story stops making sense and starts flirting with utter boredom. It is clear that the main theme is collaboration and the blindness of people under repression, but nowhere is this given any reason of existence between the fragmental, pointless descriptions of the adventures of mostly flat characters.
It is incomprehensible why such a potentially great novel was ruined by the desire of Clause to write a novel of more that 700 pages. It would have been great it he had skipped the last 400 pages. A pity.
over the top.......2002-10-07
I never understood why 'The Sorrow of Belgium/Het verdriet van België' created such a fuzz in the Dutch language community (Flanders + The Netherlands). Possibly, the fact that it was a 'must reed' in school, makes that I'm not that overwhelmed by it.
Mind you, it certainly isn't a bad novel, but (from my point of view) it isn't the highlight of twentieth-century Dutch literature that some people say it is. It does help to understand the Flemish feelings towards 'higher authorities' (like Belgium, like the (catholic) church), and maybe (given the correct interpretation of the whole background regarding the German occupation of Belgium during WWII) it can give this novell an universal angle.
I would like to point out that Hugo Claus is a much better poet than he is a novellist. If he'll ever get the Nobel Prize (for the last ten years his name is mentionned), it should be for his poetry, which is (without any exeption) extraordinary and amazing. Obvious problem: it's easier to translate a novell than a poem...
somewhat disappointing.......2002-03-25
I review this book reluctantly because I read it over 11 years ago. Frankly there is little that I remember about except two things. The first is that there is an hilarious part on pre-pubescent boys sharing their misconceptions about girls. The second thing I remember about it is my disappointment that the book lacked what I was looking for. I had fairly close relatives in The Netherlands during WWII and some of the stories I heard from them (and others) gave me a totally different picture from what I found in Claus's book. From them I got a sense of being occupied by a sinister enemy. Clandestine meetings, people being hauled off to forced labor, and a sense of fear were among the impressions that I was left with. From "The Sorrow of Belgium" I got a sense of life somewhat altered but still pretty much like normal. Perhaps that was the point. Perhaps the residents of Belgium experienced a different life than my relatives. Perhaps my relatives embellished their tales of woe. Perhaps I only heard what was interesting to me when my great aunts and uncles shared their experiences with me. All I can say is, this comfortable life style caught me by surprise and left me disappointed. I have read a number of books by European authors trying to get a sense of life in Hitler's Europe. Maybe I have already found it in "The Sorrow of Belgium" but just don't realize it. If so, I'm disappointed in Belgium.

Book Description
Leonid Andreyev has written the story (originally published in 1915) of the sorrows of the Belgian people. He delineates the tragedy of Belgium as reflected in the home of the foremost Belgian poet and thinker - regarded as the conscience of the Belgian nation. Andreyev holds German militarism and German influences responsible for the wrongs committed against smaller nationalities.
" It is vital in conception, gripping in presentation and artistic in execution."
Book Description
The overman named Garth sought immortal fame. The oracle told him to serve the Forgotten King to get that fame. But this King sent Garth after a basilisk whose gaze could turn men to stone. What sane use could anyone have for a monster like that?

The Start.......2005-10-02
This is the first book in a 4 novel series, and also the first published novel of Mr. Watt-Evans. The book is well written, and shows all the promise and excitement of a new and talented writer. The story has many familiar trappings as Garth is sent out on the first of many quests. Though the use of Garth the Overman as the main character makes for an interesting and differant read. I would recommend this book and series. If you enjoy the wryness of the story, check out The Misenchanted Sword for some fun.
"But then, they were merely humans...".......2005-01-25
Garth, Prince of Ordunin, Lord of the Overmen of the Northern Waste, doesn't want much. He is tired of being inconsequential in the grand scheme of things and wants to be remembered by everyone in the world, as long as anyone remains alive. Having demanded advice from the local oracles he gets a surprising answer. Go to the worn out town of Skelleth, and offer his services to a worn out beggar dressed in a tacky yellow robe. He does, and thereby hangs this tale.
Garth receives the first of what will become a series of quests, to retrieve the first animal he finds in the crypts beneath Mormoreth. Easier said, of course, than done. Marmoreth is a deserted city ruled over by the enchanter, Shang. Various robbers and brigands, all in Shang's pay, watch the road to Marmoreth. And Korg, Garth's giant warbeast is perpetually hungry. Oh! I forgot! The only animal in the crypts of Marmoreth is a basilisk. An irritable, poisonous, and generally impossible basilisk.
As Garth works his way through the twists of this quest with an engineer's attention to detail, and a slight tendency to be absent minded at critical moments, we get occasional glimpses of how humans would look to another intelligent life form. Somewhat insane, of course. Even to someone on a quest as insane as moving a basilisk cross-country.
Watt-Evans fills his story with little wry moments that mave all two hundred pages enjoyable. With the advantage of years, we know that this first effort turned itself into an entire series, with Garth becoming the perfect outsider whose encounters with humanity (and the King in Yellow) inevitably have unexpected results.
An excellent tale........2004-09-10
This short book (clocking at only 200 pages) is the beginning of a four-book series.
I haven't yet read the other books, but I must honestly say that the author made good use of description (But it's not slow and boring, like it is in Ursula LeGuin's or Tad Williams' books).
The Main character, the Overman Garth, a renowned warrior among his people, goes on a quest for something any sane person has always wanted, immortal fame.
In order to thus gain what he desires he visits the Forgotten King, an exiled Sorceror Lord residing in the city of Skelleth, who directs him to take a quest to capture and bring to the Forgotten King the first living thing he discovers in the crypts of the lost city of Mormoreth.
Garth proceeds to make his way there, fighting off bandits and the enchanter Shang.
As for the characters, I liked how the author made the chivalrous hero of the story non-human, and how he dealt with how the protagonist's system of values and personal beliefs differed from those of a human being.
The other main characters in the story are a soldier, a bandit leader, and of course, the bad guys.
The three main bad guys are not all villains in the story.
The forgotten king is left mysterious in order to establish himself as a character in the later books.
The Baron of Skelleth, who'd like to see Garth dead, is despite this, somewhat of a sympathetic character, having been placed in a dreadful corner of the world because of a decision of his father's, and has a mysterious illness.
The actual "villain," here, then, would be Shang, Although an enemy of the Forgotten King, Shang seems to be equally as vile in his actions.
Thus it was a quick read, and a good descriptive work with intriguing characters. Recommended.
A great fantasy story.......2004-03-08
Tired of a world filled with death and decay, Garth the overman is directed by an oracle to go south into the human lands and serve one known as the Forgotten King, where he will win fame that will endure to the end of the world. But, the King's first command sends Garth off to find and bring back a nightmare creature out of legend, and to get it Garth must overcome bandits, foul magic, greed and madness. But, why does the Forgotten King want this loathsome creature? This is a strange and difficult quest, one that might give Garth what he does not want.
I am a great fan of Lawrence Watt-Evans' wonderful Ethshar series, and now that I can't find any more to read, I decided to move onto his Lords of Dus series (of which this is book one). Well, I was not disappointed! This is a great fantasy story, complete with magic, strange creatures, and lots of swordplay. In particular, I found the author's use of a non-human as the protagonist to be quite intriguing and masterfully done.
So, if you are a fan of fantasy literature, then you must get this book. You will not be disappointed.
Enjoyable Read.......2002-10-19
I have read Lawrence Watt-Evans' entire world of Esthar series and enjoyed the majority of the books in that series. Based on my experience with the Ethshar series, I decided to give the "Lords of Dus" series a try and having completed the first book I can say the following: The storyline is an entertaining but fairly stock fantasy plot, a hero's quest for glory. The protagonist is well fleshed out, likeable yet pragmatic and complete with personality flaws that make him believable. The world setting is vivid and described well enough, but it would have been nice to have a bit more of the history revealed, explaining the current state of events. For the majority of the book, the plotting was good and moved along at the right clip, only bogging down in a couple of sections. Characters development outside of the protagonist did come across as weak with the majority of the other characters in the story seemingly designed to be disposable. Perhaps this was done intentionally as a way to emphasize the aloofness that a member the main character's race feels towards mere men, but it would still have been nice to have some of the other characters built up a bit. Overall I enjoyed the book and look forward to picking up the remaining books in the series.

A rousing tale of a legendary warrior!.......2000-06-08
As Bili Morguhn lay on his deathbed, he remembers scenes throughout his life. Known as Bili the Axe, and the Prince of Karaleenos, Bili had led an astounding life as a warrior, and leader of men. But the tales are not only of Bili's heroics, but of other warriors as well. Anyone who has read and enjoyed, a Horseclans story, will surely enjoy this one. Those who have never read Horseclans, but enjoy stories, of heroics, battle, and brains are sure to have a good time, reading this story of epic adventure.

The Best of the Freefighters - A Natural Clan Leader.......2004-03-01
The Horseclans novels are like olives -- you either acquire a taste for them or you don't. They're not great literature, which is why I gave this book a score of only 3, but if you get caught up in the saga, it won't matter. You'll want more, and there are a lot of them!
The story is set in precataclysmic North America, approximately 600 years after nuclear war, man-induced plagues, and worldwide seismic disturbances have thrown humanity into a brutal pre-industrial age. Much of California and the East Coast have sunk into the sea. What remains of the eastern states, from Canada to Georgia, has been settled by waves of dark-skinned and dark-haired adventurers from Europe (Spaniards, Greeks, Armenians, etc.) called the Ehleenee. While these early settlers were rugged fighters in the mold of Athenians and Spartans, the current crop are little more than decadent dictators ruling over downtrodden peasant farmers.
The first book in the series (see The Coming of the Horseclans) details the odyssey of the War Chief of the horseclans, Milo of Morai, a mutant immortal from the 20th century, as he leads the nomadic horseclans from the high plains of North America to the Atlantic Ocean. After 200 years of searching for other immortals, Milo has returned to the clans to fulfill an ancient prophecy and lead them to their destined homeland by the sea. Since, unbeknownst to the horseclans, earthquakes long ago sent their original home, Ehlai (Los Angeles), to the bottom of the ocean, Milo convinces them to travel east rather than west. In their way stands the armed might of the Ehleenee and the treacherous Witchmen -- pre-Holocaust scientists who have survived the centuries by repeatedly stealing new bodies to house their minds and who have their own designs for ruling existing civilization.
Adams often revisits adventures from the point of view of different characters, which can create redundancy; it also means you have to read several books to get the whole picture. This volume has three plot threads running through it: The main story is a flashback to the youth of Bili the Axe, one of the horseclans most redoubable warriors. (For more on Bili and the Moon Maidens, read A Cat of Silvery Hue). The second plot concerns the 20th Century survivors known as Withcmen. And, finally, it introduces the remnants of 20th century organic farmers, now degenerate cannibals known as the Ganics. (For more on the Witchmen and the Ganics, read The Witch Goddess.)
These books are primarily military science fiction and not for the faint of heart. There are lots of vivid descriptions of battles, torture and ghastly wounds. The prose is spare and very action-oriented. While not a fan of military fiction in general, I was sucked in by the animal component of the series. The clanspeople have the ability to communicate telepathically with their specially bred war horses and with a mutant wild cat, the "prairie cat," which sounds like a blend of puma, sabertooth, and cheetah. I'm also obssessed with translating the terminology of the time -- it becomes a kind of game -- figuring out what words like Ehlai (LA), Pitzburk (Pittsburg), Karaleenos (Carolinas), Neekohl (Nicole), Kuk (Cook), Hwallis (Wallace) all mean. If you like Larry Niven's Man-Kzinn Wars series, you might enjoy the horseclans saga.
A small part of a larger story.......2002-01-30
The Horseclan series could be more accurately described as an epic narative of the history of the ficticous world Robert Adams has created. There are often times several completely unrelated events going on during any given book and these plots might not get resolved until a few books later in the series.
This book really had three different short stories going on at the same time. The main story was a flashback to the younger days of Bili the Axe. The backdrop for this story was actually begun in "Horseclan Odyssey" (HC #8) and it was in my opinion the most intriguing . After an good build up the climax was glossed over which I found dissappointing. RA did however put into motion some subplots in this part of the book that are played out in later novels.
The second plot concerns the 20th Century survivors known as the Withcmen and is a continuation of the events of "Savage Mountains" (HC #5) and does not reach any sort of ending, but I'm sure will be addressed somewhere later in the series. It's an interesting story line, but it's hard to keep straight when it's only addressed intermittenly throughout the series.
Lastly, there was a plot with the savage Ganiks that just kinda stopped... not really sure if this has any future potential. This was also an interesting plot, although, I was at a loss to see how it fit into the big picture. The Ganiks are a barbarian people and RA does a good job of illustrating that fact.
Despite the lack of closure on the plots, the book was well written and as always in this series, the charachters are interesting. The key piece of data for anyone thinking of picking up the Horseclan books is that it's not the type of series you just pick up a book here or there, but you've got to read 'em all to get the full enjoyment and impact out of Mr. Adams work.

Super Reader.......2007-08-04
Milo Morai is a superhuman mutant. Basically, he has the whole Wolverine deal going on, and also does not seem to age.
At the start he is travelling back to a civilisation of sorts that he has set up, the Horseclans. They have some Beastmaster type talents, the ability to telepathically communicate with their own special horses, and with big cats.
The book is set around 600 years after a nuclear disaster, as that is how old Milo is. He wants to find others like him, and has basically set himself the long and difficult task that L. E. Modesitt's Forever Hero has, to rebuild a civilisation that has lost its technology and is greatly reduced in number.
By the end of the book, he has found three other mutants like himself, and led his Clans to the sea, along with a bit of warfare along the way. This is only before finding out of others that have survived the centuries, by body snatching, basically, a group of scientist mind vampires also survives.
The book seems to jump around rapidly, and suffers from not enough focus I think. The author is obviously fond of the primitive arms and armor thing.
Still Around.......2007-01-22
I read the Horse Clan series way back in 1982 or 83, when I was in High School. Personally I am surprised to find that it is still around. Even back then it was not a particularly popular book series, however I liked Howard's Conan series, and quickly fell for Adams Horse Clans. This book series is not for everyone, but if you like Howards Conan books, you might want to give Horse Clans a look. Often marketed as a sword and sorcery book, it fails to meet that mark by a mile, but it is a good (not great) sci-fi fantasy novel(s)... well good in my opinion and maybe not so good in the opinion of others.
Shows knowledge of the author.......2006-12-17
Reviewed by Kelley Anderson for Reader Views (11/06)
I was really looking forward to reading "The Coming of the Horseclans." The back cover promises prophecy, sorcery and immortality. I, however, got completely lost in the jumble of strange names, clan legends, horses that talk to cats, cats that talk to men, horses that don't talk to cats, men with weapons, etc. etc. From what I actually understood, this strange man (Milo Morai) joins up with a clan of people, travels from what used to be Mexico into what used to be Texas, battles many people along the way and meets a woman that he would like to have sex with. The words were complex, the description of weaponry and fighting styles tedious and the relationships between the characters unclear. I honestly found myself hoping this guy would die so it would be over it. No such luck. He lives until the end. So the promise of immortality was fulfilled. As for prophecy and sorcery, I'm not sure where any of that factored into the book.
This being said, the extraordinarily detailed description of battle showed great knowledge on the part of the reader. He described in minute detail the arrows, swords and armor of the various people fighting each other. It didn't interest me at all and I kept losing my focus on where the characters were and what they were doing.
I'm afraid I can't recommend "The Coming of the Horseclans" to anyone, because I don't understand the plot, couldn't identify with the characters and was horribly bored by the detailed war descriptions.
An Interesting Read.......2006-08-06
A great novel for the Conan the barbarian style of fantacy writing. A post futuristic apocalypse world setting as a twist. Loved it and hope the publisher continues making new copy's of the original series.
Reprint of the series.......2006-01-10
Recently Mundania Press (www.mundaniapress.com) has reprinted the first book in the series and are presumably planning to reprint the whole series. I haven't had much trouble finding the other out-of-print books on various used book sites, currently collecting my second complete set for lending out to friends.

the horseclans continue.............2001-03-30
Taking place after a nuclear apocalypse, the swords of the horseclans is a continuation of the story of the High Lord Milo and his horseclans. He and his allies have to face an army comming from the south and face the evil Witchmen (20th century scienctists) once again. The story is a little bloodthirty and is not for the timid. If you get a hold of these books I highly recommend that you read them. Be warned there are a lot more books in this series.

Book Description
Cocktails are bigger than ever, and this is the first real cookbook for them, covering the entire breadth of this rich subject. The Craft of the Cocktail provides much more than merely the same old recipes: it delves into history, personalities, and anecdotes; it shows you how to set up a bar, master important techniques, and use tools correctly; and it delivers unique concoctions, many featuring Dale DeGroff’s signature use of fresh juices, as well as all the classics.
Debonair, a great raconteur, and an unparalleled authority, Dale DeGroff is the epitome of Perfect Bartender, universally acknowledged as the world’s premier mixologist. From Entertainment Weekly and USA Today to the Culinary Institute of America and the nation’s best restaurants, whenever anybody wants information or training on the bar, they turn to Dale for recipes, for history, for anecdotes, for fun—for cocktail-party conversation as well as for cocktails.
That’s what The Craft of the Cocktail is—the full party, conversation and all. It begins with the history of spirits, how they’re made (but without too much boring science), the development of the mixed drink, and the culture it created, all drawn from Dale’s vast library of vintage cocktail books. Then on to stocking the essential bar, choosing the right tools and ingredients, mastering key techniques—hints worthy of a pro, the same information that Dale shares with the bartenders he trains in seminars and through his videos. And then the meat of the matter: 500 recipes, including everything from tried-and-true classics to of-the-moment originals. Throughout are rich stories, vintage recipes, fast facts, and other entertaining asides. Beautiful color photographs and a striking design round out the cookbook approach to this subject, highlighting the difference between an under-the-bar handbook and a stylish, full-blown treatment. The Craft of the Cocktail is that treatment, destined to become the bible of the bar.

If you are into the art of coctails, and want a book that uses no premade mixers, this is the book for you. This book is very informative. Way more than a recipe book, as I read I aspired to be a gourmet bartender. This book makes mixing drinks an art.

You won't find a better indroduction to spirits.......2006-09-02
Pros
- Great looking book and great photography
- Detailed intro into all the main spirits
- Detailed info on bartending techniques and measurements
- Good intro into cocktail glasses
- Large number of recipes
- The author definately has command of the subject
- Lots of references of wher to buy items for your bar
Cons
- Inconsistant terminology. He uses different names for the same spirit in different pages of the book which leads to a bit of confusion
- No cross reference of recipes by main spirit. I wish the book would have broken down the recipes by main spirit. Recipes with vodka, recipes with tequila, and so on.
- Some spirits are undefined in the book. There are several recipes that have spirits that aren't defined anywhere on the book.
