Summary "De kleine Zwerveling" by D.P. Plaatsman is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story focuses on Jan Vroolijk, a struggling shell fisherman from Eierland, and his family as they face difficult circumstances that lead them to consider emigration to America. The narrative suggests themes of hope and adversity, depicting the hardships and choices faced by those seeking a better life. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the setting of Eierland, a sparsely populated island with a rich birdlife, where Jan Vroolijk struggles to provide for his family amidst declining fishing fortunes. With his wife Keetje and their young son Willem, the couple contemplates leaving their homeland after receiving a letter from Jan's uncle in America, who shares stories of prosperity. As Jan grapples with the decision to uproot his family and the emotional ramifications of such a move, the opening sets a poignant tone that explores the complexities of family, sacrifice, and the pursuit of a brighter future.
