Produced by Anna Tuinman and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "De Vurige Oven: Een verhaal uit den tijd der dragonades in Nederland" by J. A. Wormser is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the events surrounding religious persecution in the Netherlands during the 1830s, particularly focusing on the challenges faced by the Afgescheidenen (Seceders) as they navigated a hostile environment. The main characters include Klaas Beukman, a farmer, and Huibert Jacobus Buddingh, a preacher, indicating a deep exploration of faith, community, and the struggles against oppressive state mechanisms. The opening of the novel sets the stage on a summer morning in 1836, where Klaas Beukman prepares to transport the young preacher Buddingh, who has come to lead a religious meeting. As they travel secretly to avoid local authorities, it becomes clear that their faith leads them to be viewed as outlaws, highlighting the tension between personal conviction and societal laws. Their journey reflects the broader conflict faced by the Afgescheiden community, which seeks to uphold their beliefs amid the imposition of heavy fines and restrictions by the government. This initial segment effectively introduces the themes of persecution and resistance, inviting readers to engage with the deeper societal issues of faith and freedom explored in the narrative.
