Royal Family

General Fiction

(dutch) Louis Kupelers

151K0

The work mainly describes the life of the royal family of a certain European country. Emperor Oscar is headstrong and dictatorial; Queen Elizabeth is beautiful and noble; Crown Prince Osoma is rational and sympathetic to the people, but indecisive. He seriously doubts his right to inherit the throne, but he is in the world and can't help it... Interspersed with the Crown Prince The underground love affair with the married Duchess Yemena, and the "normal love" between Prince Osoma and Princess Valerie, who was manipulated by the royal family... If "The Royal Family" is an allusive novel, then it is not too much to call Kupelles a "prophet". No chronicle of emperors can be written with such insight. Under the surface of a love story, "The Royal Family" is more like an in-depth analysis of human nature and psychology. Everything about royalty and aristocracy exudes a charming charm that is irresistible. The story took on new life in the hands of Kupelus, who gave its characters various dramatic plots. The publication of this work caused quite a stir at the time.

Ecstasy: a Study of Happiness

(dutch) Louis Kupelers

57K01

"Ecstasy: A Study in Happiness" was published in 1892. Kupelles explored both happiness and suffering in this work, so the work is considered a psychological novel. It tells the story of a widow named Cecil Van Iven and a dissolute man named Tucker Carr. The two have different concepts of life and love. The New York Times Book Review in 1919 said that this work is delicate and mysterious, and the writing style is seemingly relaxed but extremely firm, which prevents the novel from appearing too weird or too tragic.
