Summary "Papieren Kinderen: novellen en schetsen" by Justus van Maurik is a collection of novellas and sketches written in the late 19th century. The narrative appears to center around the themes of vanity and the challenges faced by an aging actor, Adriaan Walten, who struggles with personal and professional setbacks amid his family's difficulties. The poignant story unfolds with a focus on the relationships and emotional struggles of its characters, particularly Walten and his daughter. The opening of the book introduces us to Adriaan Walten, a once-celebrated actor, now facing the harsh realities of aging and financial hardship. As he nervously prepares to meet a former pupil, Willem Hostein, in hopes of securing help for a benefit performance to support his mentally ill daughter, the depth of his despair becomes apparent. The scene sets up a poignant exploration of the characters' pasts and current struggles, indicating a narrative rich in emotional complexity, societal critique, and the enduring bonds of family amidst adversity.
