De Wiskunstenaars, Of 'T Gevluchte Juffertje by Pieter Langendijk
Kluchtspel
The book is a comedic play set in the early 18th century, revolving around the chaotic and humorous events that unfold when a young woman, seeking to escape an unwanted marriage, disguises herself and takes refuge with a group of eccentric mathematicians. The mathematicians, absorbed in their abstract world of numbers and theories, become unwitting participants in her scheme. Through a series of misunderstandings and clever twists, the play explores themes of love, identity, and the clash between practical life and intellectual pursuits, all while delivering a satirical commentary on societal norms and the nature of academic obsession.
