    About this ebook

    "The Poor Gentleman" by Hendrik Conscience
    Henri Conscience was a Belgian author. He is considered the pioneer of Dutch-language literature in Flanders. In this book, he takes readers into the depths of Europe's society in the middle of the 19th century. The book follows a young man, a peasant on the cusp of life. However, his lack of financial means limits his options and makes his journey all the more adventurous.
