Jacob Haafner 28688

Exotische liefde

Singel Uitgeverijen, 2011. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 282. Jacob Haafner (1755-1809) was in de tweede helft van de achttiende eeuw als klerk en koopman werkzaam in India. Hij vatte een oprechte liefde op voor de cultuur en de bewoners en deed alle moeite zich de taal en gebruiken ter plaatse eigen te maken. In zijn reisverslagen toont hij zich de felste anti-kolonialist uit de Nederlandse letterkunde. Hij hekelde de Europese kolonisatoren, die feestvierden terwijl de bewoners van honger stierven. Haafner kwam al op jonge leeftijd in aanraking met de Nederlandse koloniën: als twaalfjarige jongen werd hij door zijn vader meegenomen op een reis naar de Oost. Een jaar voor zijn dood publiceerde hij Reize in eenen palanquin, een reisverslag en liefdesverhaal ineen. In Exotische liefde zijn de interessantste en mooiste passages daaruit bijeengebracht. Haafner liet zich per draagbed vervoeren van Calcutta naar Madras. Tijdens zijn tocht ontmoette hij Mamia, een beeldschone Indiase danseres, op wie hij hartstochtelijk verliefd werd. Hun liefde staat in schril contrast met de misstanden in de kolonie. ISBN: 9789025368869. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

HAAFNER -

Voyages dans la Péninsule Occidentale de l'Inde, et dans l'Ile de Ceylan....[a review in english of the french edn. in 2 volumes Paris 1912].

S.L.[London], s.n., March, 1812. sm. 8°. Recent limp wraps., stitched. page 120 to 136. In this essay, from the pen of an unidentified british critic, taken from an unidentified London 1812 published periodical, Haafner's account on the british colonies of India and Ceylon is completely smashed. In his conclusion the critic states that, quote:..if Jacob Haafner be a real character, hi is a man totally destitute of every principle of honour and truth; if a mere nom de guerre, the book may be considered as having been got up by the French government for the mean and odious purpose of creating a false and unfavourable impression of the British character on the continent, and fixing an unmerited stigma on the British name in India..unquote. A rare and very interesting review.
