The three voyages undertaken by the Dutch, towards the close of the sixteenth century, with a view to the discovery of a north-east passage to China, are deservedly placed among the most remarkable exploits of that enterprising nation; while the ten months’ residence of the adventurous seamen at the furthest extremity of the inhospitable region of Novaya Zemlya, within little more than fourteen degrees of the North Pole, and their homeward voyage of upwards of seventeen hundred geographical miles in two small open boats, are events full of romantic interest. The republication by the Hakluyt Society of the narrative of these three voyages, is most appropriate at this particular juncture, when public attention is so painfully absorbed by apprehensions as to the fate of Franklin and his companions. At all times would this work be read with interest, as giving in plain and simple language, which vouches for its truth, the first account of a forced winter residence in the Arctic Regions, patiently and resolutely endured and successfully terminated; but at the present moment it acquires a far deeper importance from its representation—faint, perhaps, and wholly inadequate to the reality—of the hardships which must have been undergone by our missing countrymen; happy if some of them shall have survived, like Gerrit de Veer, to tell the tale of their sufferings and of their final deliverance from their long captivity. In adverting to the causes which led to these three expeditions, it would be quite superfluous to enter upon the general history of Arctic discovery. All that is requisite for the proper elucidation of the present subject, is an investigation of the actual state of our knowledge respecting the precise field of the labours of our Dutch navigators, previously to the date of their adventurous undertaking. Three centuries have now elapsed since the first attempt was made to discover a north-east passage to China and India. The circumstances under which this took place, cannot be better detailed than in the words of Clement Adams, in his account of “the newe Nauigation and discouerie of the kingdome of Muscouia, by the north-east, in the yeere 1553”, which is printed by Hakluyt in the first volume of his Principal Navigations. “At what time our marchants perceiued the commodities and wares of England to bee in small request with the countreys and people about vs and neere vnto vs, and that those marchandizes which strangers in the time and memorie of our auncesters did earnestly seeke and desire, were nowe neglected and the price thereof abated, although by vs carried to their owne portes, and all forreine marchandises in great accompt and their prises wonderfully raised: certaine graue citizens of London, and men of great wisedome, and carefull for the good of their countrey, began to thinke with themselves howe this mischiefe might be remedied. Neither was a remedie (as it then appeared) wanting to their desires, for the auoyding of so great an inconuenience: for, seeing that the wealth of the Spaniards and Portingales, by the discouerie and search of newe trades and countreys was marueilously increased, supposing the same to be a course and meane for them also to obteine the like, they thereupon resolued upon a newe and strange nauigation. And whereas at the same time one Sebastian Cabota,1 a man in those dayes very renowned, happened to bee in London, they began first of all to deale and consult diligently with him, and after much speech and conference together, it was at last concluded that three shippes should bee prepared and furnished out, for the search and discouerie of the northerne part of the world, to open a way and passage to our men for trauaile to newe and vnknowen kingdomes. “And whereas many things seemed necessary to bee regarded in this so hard and difficult a matter, they first make choyse of certaine graue and wise persons, in maner of a senate or companie, which should lay their heads together and giue their iudgements, and prouide things requisite and profitable for all occasions: by this companie it was thought expedient that a certaine summe of money should publiquely bee collected, to serue for the furnishing of so many shippes. And lest any priuate man should bee too much oppressed and charged, a course was taken, that euery man willing to be of the societie should disburse the portion of twentie and five pounds a piece; so that in short time by this meanes the summe of sixe thousand pounds being gathered, the three shippes were bought, the most part whereof they prouided to be newly built and trimmed.”

Het bestaan van een pottenbakker komt in gevaar als het kolossale winkelcentrum waaraan hij zijn traditionele keramiek levert niet langer van zijn handwerk gediend is. Met grote moeite past de pottenbakker zijn product aan, maar dat betekent slechts uitstel van executie. In deze allegorische roman schetst Saramago een lugubere wereld waar de grenzen tussen werkelijkheid en illusie totaal verdwenen lijken. Samen met De stad der blinden en Alle namen vormt Het schijnbestaan een drieluik waarin de auteur zijn visie geeft op de moderne wereld.

In het tweede deel van ‘De ellendigen’ volgt de lezer de opstapelende problemen van Jean Valjean. Inspecteur Javert zit hem op de hielen en probeert hem te vervolgen voor identiteitsdiefstal. Ondertussen worstelt Cosette, dochter van Fantine, met het verlies van haar moeder en met haar nieuwe leven bij de familie Thénardier, waar ze slecht wordt behandeld. Jean zet alles op alles om Cosette te helpen, maar of hem dat lukt met de politie in zijn nek, is nog maar de vraag. Hugo Victor vertelt op strijdvaardige wijze het verhaal over onrecht, liefde en het harde leven in het Frankrijk van twee eeuwen terug. Ook in de 21e eeuw blijft ‘Les misérables’ ongematigd populair, zoals blijkt uit het succes van de verfilming in 2012 met Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe en Anne Hathaway in de hoofdrol. De film won maar liefst drie Golden Globe Awards. Victor Hugo (1802-1885) staat bekend als een van de grootste Franse schrijvers aller tijden. De klassiekers ‘De ellendigen’ en ‘De klokkenluider van de Notre Dame’ zijn twee van zijn meest geroemde romans. Naast romanschrijver was Hugo ook dichter, toneelschrijver en mensenrechtenactivist, en dat laatste komt duidelijk naar voren in zijn werk. Hij wordt gezien als een van de grondleggers van de Romantische stroming in de literatuur. Ook in de eeuwen na zijn publicaties wordt er nog volop genoten van zijn nalatenschap. Zo werd de filmadaptatie uit 2012 van 'De ellendigen' een wereldwijd succes.
