Summary: "Te Lande" by Cyriel Buysse is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in a rural Belgium and follows the troubled life of Cloet, a man recently released from prison, as he grapples with his violent past and tumultuous relationship with his family, particularly his pregnant wife.
