Maarten ’t Hart

    November 25, 1944

    Maarten ’t Hart’s literary work draws deeply from his studies in biology and his lifelong passions for nature and music. A central theme explored throughout his writing is his childhood within a Calvinist community and his subsequent distancing from it. Known for his authentic voice and his skillful navigation of the tension between biography and fiction, ’t Hart has become one of the most popular and translated Dutch authors. He masterfully conveys a compressed piece of his most intimate self, making his narratives resonate profoundly with readers.

    • Vom taumelnden Glück eines Sonderlings: »Ein echter Maarten ’t Hart.« Trouw Eine Hafenstadt in Südholland, bevölkert von Misanthropen und Hinterwäldlern. Ein Orgelstimmer, der seine Arbeit nur in der Stille der Nacht verrichten kann. Und eine Furie von Frau, so schön wie furchteinflößend, die bereits ganz anderen den Kopf verdreht hat. In seinem neuen Roman zeigt der ewig staunende, ewig zweifelnde Solitär der niederländischen Literatur erneut, warum er als Meister des skurril Poetischen gilt. »Eine leichtherzige und emotionale Version der Geschichte, die Maarten ’t Hart seit den Siebzigerjahren mit Verve zu erzählen weiß: die des Außenseiters, der sich danach sehnt, in etwas Größeres einbezogen zu werden.« De Groene Amsterdammer »Der Nachtstimmer ist ein unbeschwerter ’t Hart mit melancholischem Unterton, in dem sich die Extreme berühren und die Liebe zur Musik und zum Orgelbau auf jeder Seite spürbar ist.« De Telegraaf

      Der Nachtstimmer
    • In Maassluis, dem Ort von Maarten ’t Harts Kindheit, trennt der Deich reich und arm. Steigt man nur wenige Schritte den steilen Hang empor, befindet man sich sogleich in der besseren Gesellschaft. Genau dorthin möchte auch die junge, mittellose Clazien. Sie verliebt sich leidenschaftlich in den neuen Lehrer und verlässt gegen jede Vernunft ihren Mann.

      Unter dem Deich
    • Maarten 't Hart gehört zu den herausragenden niederländischen Schriftstellern unserer Zeit. Sein Erzählungsband »So viele Hähne, so nah beim Haus« bringt seine Kunst des pointiert Anekdotischen zum Leuchten: Da ist die Studentin Letitia, die schamlos ihre Reize einsetzt, um gleichzeitig promovieren und ihr Haus renovieren zu können; da ist der sture Bäckergehilfe im Warmond der Fünfzigerjahre, den auch das Bestechungsgeld von 1000 Gulden bei der für seinen Bäcker unangenehmen Wahrheit bleiben lässt, oder die musikalische Rate-Runde, deren Abende empfindlich durch den aufdringlichen Hund eines ihrer Mitglieder gestört wird. Maarten 't Harts Kosmos bevölkern skurrile Figuren, die uns mit ihren allzu menschlichen Schwächen entgegentreten.
