'De wereld een dansfeest', verschenen in 1938, is een bijzondere roman van Van Schendel vanwege het toendertijd als verassend en vernieuwend geldende vertelperspectief. De 19 personages vertellen in 19 hoofdstukken een fragment over het leven en de gecompliceerde liefde van twee talentvolle dansers. 'De wereld een dansfeest' wordt door velen als één van de belangrijkste werken van Van Schendel bestempeld.De Nederlander Arthur François Emile van Schendel (1874 – 1946) was een schrijver die bekendheid verwierf met avonturenromans zoals 'Een zwerver verliefd' (1904). Zijn vroege romans zoals zijn avonturenromans hebben een sterk symbolistisch, neoromantisch karakter, wat opvallend is omdat het literaire klimaat in de negentiende eeuw het naturalisme aanhield. Later in zijn schrijverschap sluit hij hier enigszins bij aan door in een concretere en realistischer stijl te handhaven; 'Een Hollands drama' (1935) is hiervan een voorbeeld. Nooit deed hij overigens afstand van de thema’s die hem van meet af aan interesseerden: vrije wil en vrijheid, geluk en eenzaamheid, noodlot en toeval. Hoewel van Schendel overleden is in 1946, ontving hij voor 'Het oude huis' een jaar later postuum de (eerste) P.C. Hooft-prijs.

Lucjan, młody, a już obiecujący członek paryskiej socjety, zakochuje się w byłej kurtyzanie Esterze. Aby uniknąć skandalu, jego opiekun izoluje kobietę od środowiska i pozwala parze jedynie na nocne schadzki. Tymczasem piękna dziewczyna wpadła w oko bogatego barona, właściciela banku. Lucjan i jego opiekun postanawiają wykorzystać sytuację do wzbogacenia się. Popychają Esterę w ramiona odstręczającego barona de Nucingena.W 1975 r. na motywach historii powstał miniserial pod tym samym tytułem.Powieść wchodząca w skład cyklu "Komedii ludzkiej", gdzie kobieta staje się obiektem seksualnym i elementem walki o władzę.Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) - wybitny powieściopisarz francuski, autor wielotomowego cyklu "Komedia ludzka", uważany za jednego z ojców współczesnej powieści europejskiej. Jako dziecko został oddany na wykarmienie do mamki. Epizod długotrwałej rozłąki z biologiczną matką miał duży wpływ na jego życie, a poniekąd także na twórczość. Wcześnie opuścił dom rodzinny i od razu próbował utrzymać się z pisania. Za życia nie doczekał się jednak ani stabilizacji finansowej, ani większego uznania. Wszystkie jego powieści miłosne trafiały na indeks ksiąg zakazanych. Poślubił polską szlachciankę Ewelinę Hańską. Chętnie portretował dojrzałe bohaterki, które przekroczyły trzydziesty rok życia, stąd określenie "kobieta w wieku balzakowskim".

In 'Tobias en de dood' maken we de ontwikkelingen mee van de amorele en ongehoorzame Tobias Termaete, een middelbare Nederlandse man. Hij is vervreemd van zijn omgeving en de rest van de wereld en het laat hem koud wat andere mensen denken.Na de ontvangst van een briefje over de zelfdoding van een bekende begint Tobias' bezinning op zijn eigen leven. In zijn onderhandelingen met de dood raakt hij verder vervreemd van zichzelf en zoekt hij heil bij voornamelijk vrouwelijk gezelschap. Opmerkelijk genoeg slaagt hij erin om de dood te ontwijken en kan hij uiteindelijk afstand doen van zijn verleden. 'Tobias en de dood' wordt over het algemeen beschouwd als één van de hoogtepunten uit het werk van J. van Oudshoorn.Jan Koos Feylbrief (1876-1951) was begin 20e eeuw voor lange tijd de kanselier van de Nederlandse ambassade in Berlijn. Onder het pseudoniem J. van Oudshoorn heeft hij verhalen en romans geschreven die zijn doortrokken van een abnormale omgevingsangst, waarin de dood groots figureerde en de zin van het leven slechts een kleine rol werd toebedeeld. Van Oudhoorn's seksuele frustraties en zijn sombere kijk op het leven komen naar voren in verschillende romans, zoals zijn bekende werken 'Willem Mertens' levensspiegel' en 'Tobias en de dood'. Hoewel J. van Oudshoorn slechts een bescheiden oeuvre heeft geschreven, heeft hij voor zijn werk veel waardering gekregen van verschillende schrijvers als F. Bordewijk, Frans Coenen en M. Nijhoff.

Burzliwe losy miłosnego czworokąta w małej angielskiej wiosce. Hetty Sorrel to urocza, choć jeszcze dość naiwna dziewczyna, która staje się obiektem uczuć tytułowego Adama oraz ponętnego (i majętnego!) kapitana Arthura. W relacje między bohaterami miesza się dodatkowo Dinah - piękna i zaangażowana religijnie kuzynka Hetty. Mężczyźni decydują się stoczyć pojedynek, w efekcie którego jeden z rywali odstępuje od swych matrymonialnych zamiarów. I gdy wydaje się, że miłosny konflikt został rozstrzygnięty, na jaw wychodzi sprawa, której nikt się nie spodziewał... Książka doczekała się licznych adaptacji - zarówno filmowych, jak i teatralnych, telewizyjnych i radiowych. Realistyczna w opisie scenerii i relacji pomiędzy bohaterami powieść zyskała dużą popularność. Podobno jej miłośniczką była sama królowa Wiktoria, która zleciła namalowanie obrazów ilustrujących pewne sceny tej literackiej historii.George Eliot (1819-1880) - w rzeczywistości Mary Ann Evans, angielska pisarka ukrywająca się pod męskim pseudonimem. Zaliczana do grona najwybitniejszych twórców epoki wiktoriańskiej, jej utwór "Miasteczko Middlemarch" zajął pierwsze miejsce w rankingu BBC dla 100 najlepszych brytyjskich powieści w historii. Wychowana w religijnej rodzinie ortodoksyjnie przestrzegającej zasad protestantyzmu, Mary w dorosłym życiu coraz bardziej oddalała się od kościoła, aż utraciła wiarę i stała się agnostyczką. Na ewolucję jej poglądów miało z pewnością wpływ środowisko, w jakim się obracała. Znała osobiście m.in. Karola Dickensa, Williama Makepeace’a Thackeraya, Karola Darwina i Johna Stuarta Milla. Jej wolny związek z nierozwiedzionym jeszcze Georgem Henrym Lewesem był traktowany jako skandal obyczajowy. Zła sława towarzyszyła jej aż do śmierci. Mimo ogromnych zasług dla literatury, odmówiono jej pochówku w Opactwie Westminster, gdzie miała spocząć wśród wybitnych twórców angielskich.
