1983512 pages. "Between 1946 and 1982 more than 180,000 people emigrated from The Netherlands to Canada. That enormous tide peaked in 1952, when almost 21,000 Netherlanders made Canada their home. The movement arose out of a long-occupied country whose citizens considered Canadians their liberators, out of tiny Holland's limited capacity for growth, and out of the uneasy political situation in Europe. The real result of the movement, the lives of the ordinary people who uprooted themselves to immigrate, is the subject of this overwhelming documentation. Told simply and movingly, this is the story of eveyr immigrant's experience, from the decision to leave and the journey itself to the arrival in Canada and the difficulties to be faced." - from dust jacket. Copiously illustrated in black and white. Book clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear. Light wear and rubbing to dust jacket. Quality copy. Book

1919réf. 104-3556New York: Dutton 1919. Good in the publisher's navy-blue cloth. Both the spine and the front board are stamped in gilt. vii 412pps. No dustjacket. There are a couple of short tears in the cloth at the head of the spine along with mild rubbing to the board-edges. The gilt on the spine is dulled though still legible; the gilt of the front board is brilliant. Also there is a narrow split in the binding at the title-page: the binding is nonetheless stable with all pages intact. The text is clean and bright with no previous ownership markings. Includes a Prefatory Note by the Editor Barnet J. Beyer. ".belongs to the class of literature immortalized by Alphonse Daudet. In it we catch the slightly ironic but good-natured tone familiar to those who have read Sapho; and we perceive the author applying objective psychology to life -- Parisian life. For M. Vanderem is not only Gallic but vitally Parisian. His attitude towards men and women is sophisticated; but his art is always fresh and true. He is a realist who does not disdain to make use of romance when it suits his purpose. 'Two Banks of The Seine' is an interesting story wherein the life of the Latin Quarter and that of the upper classes are brought into sharp contrast. This supplies the author with ample material suitable to his peculiar bent. He handles his material with clear vision often with delicate sympathy and never without humor. The men and women in the book are sketched with a sure pen and are put and kept in motion by a firm hand. They are made to move about briskly before us and to speak with the accents of life. Like all great novelists M. Vanderem is more interested in character and human relationships than in plot. His book is not so much a novel in the ordinary sense as a comedy of manners." -- from the Preface by the editor.
