| Summary | "De Zwarte Kost" by Cyriel Buysse is a novel written in the late 19th century. Set in the small village of Akspoele, the story centers around Fortuné Massijn, a clerk known for his peculiar obsession with befriending strangers, who returns home triumphantly with two young African princes, only to face ridicule and disdain from the locals. The book explores themes of social status, vanity, and the clash between local tradition and the exotic allure of the foreign. The opening of the novel introduces a peaceful Sunday morning in Akspoele, disrupted by the arrival of Massijn and his accompanied "princes." The villagers are astonished and confused by the sight of Massijn proudly presenting his friends, who are depicted as grotesque and monstrous in appearance. Rather than receiving admiration, Massijn is met with mockery and scorn from his fellow villagers, leading to a series of dramatic confrontations. As the villagers jeer, Massijn grows increasingly enraged at their reactions, trying to assert the dignity of both himself and his companions amidst the chaos, which sets the stage for the tensions and themes that will unfold throughout the story.
