Softcover, illustrated, bilingual. Herman Gorter's masterpiece 'May' describes the magical journey of adolescence, the springtime of our lives, against the background of Holland’s flowery dunescapes. 'May' describes the magical journey of adolescence against the background of Holland’s flowery dunescapes. In strokes of wonder-filled impressions a stunningly unspoiled girl, May, explores the promise of springtime and the intense spiritual life of youth.
