"The Legend of Ulenspiegel, Volume 1 (of 2)" by Charles de Coster is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in Flanders and revolves around the life and adventures of the main character, Ulenspiegel, along with his companion Lamme Goedzak. The novel explores themes of freedom, rebellion, and the struggles of the common people against oppression, providing a vivid portrayal of Flemish culture and history. At the start of the narrative, we witness the humble beginnings of Ulenspiegel's life as he is born under an intriguing prophecy, accompanied by omens from a gossiping midwife and parents Claes and Soetkin. As he grows, we see glimpses of his mischievous yet kind-hearted nature, alongside his friendship with Lamme, characterized by a mix of humor and hardship. The opening sets the tone for a rich tapestry of adventures, balancing Ulenspiegel's youthful antics with references to the societal turbulence of the era, foreshadowing his future role in the conflicts that define the land of Flanders.
