Produced by Anna Tuinman, Eline Visser and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Jan en Florence" by Louis Couperus is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the character of a reflective narrator reminiscing about his experiences in Spain and contrasting them with his love for Florence, where he feels a deep connection to the city's artistic heritage. Through this reflection, the themes of nostalgia, personal identity, and the tension between the old and the new emerge. The opening portion introduces the narrator's recent return to Florence after a trip to Spain. As he muses over his experiences, he reveals a sense of longing for the artistic treasures of Florence, which he considers personally his, contrasting this with his lack of connection to Spanish art. The arrival of his friend Jan adds another layer, as Jan's dismissive comments challenge the narrator's romanticized view of Florence, prompting an exploration of the city's evolving identity amidst changing times. This sets the stage for a deeper contemplation of art, life, and friendship as the narrator grapples with modernity and nostalgia.
