2. 2. De Reiziger

   

   A Jewish man on the run moves through trains, stations and transient lodgings in 1930s Germany, desperately trying to elude arrest while the world around him grows more hostile and unrecognizable. The novel follows his anxious, fragmented journey and the varied encounters—with indifferent officials, opportunistic strangers and brief allies—that reveal how ordinary social bonds and identities are eroded under escalating persecution. Tense and intimate, the story is a portrait of fear, displacement and the moral collapse of a society that hunts its own citizens.
