Vision or Delusion and other Stories

Piet Van Mechelen is obsessed with capturing Antwerp in pictures. His journey of discovery, through streets and alleys of the changing Flemish city, takes place at a time when new discoveries, theories and inventions are shaking society. His aim is admirable, but his obsession dismays his young wife, and the elements of his occupation bring about his downfall. This story is modelled on actual events that took place in 1877. By the author of Death in Malta, this historical novella is just the right length to read on a train or in a waiting room. This special paperback edition contains four additional short stories by the same author: The Land of Smiles, The Blue Feather, Hunzinger's Chairs, and Feverfew. They previously appeared in short story collections by the author, which have gone out of print. They can be enjoyed once more in this unique edition.
