De Zwervers van het Groote Leger: Historisch verhaal uit het tijdperk 1810-1813 Produced by Branko Collin and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at "De Zwervers van het Groote Leger: Historisch verhaal uit het tijdperk 1810-1813" by P. Visser is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars and focuses on the plight of the Stargardt family, particularly the father, Franciscus, as they navigate the harsh realities imposed by foreign rule and conscription. The narrative explores themes of patriotism, sacrifice, and the impact of war on ordinary lives. The opening of the novel introduces us to Franciscus Stargardt, a physically impaired fishmonger, who is burdened by an imperial decree enforcing conscription in Holland. As he grapples with his deep-rooted resentment towards the French occupation, reading of the plight of young men like his sons, Willem and Jakob, he faces the fear of losing them to war. The emotional turmoil within the family escalates when news breaks that Willem may be called up for service. As they confront the threat of conscription, the reality of their existence under foreign domination becomes overwhelmingly poignant, setting a somber tone for the broader struggles that will unfold throughout the narrative.
