This is the third book by Dutch artist and historian Rien Poorvliet I've read so far. Like his other books this one is full of amazing pictures of people, places and animals, from around his home. It is also about the service, WWII and his childhood, along with handwritten explanations that tell a story. Poortvliet shares his Christian faith more in this book than in the other two books, which is a delight. Best of all is a portrait of a musician with the same last name as by maiden name. What fun is that? We may be related. :)

Rien Poortvliet drew and painted beautifully and he pretended to love animals, but in the meantime he killed them, beheaded them, talked disrespectfully about deceased animals and wrote that you can easily throw a dead cat over the bushes; how awful and nauseating !!!

At one point I started to skip pieces and after a while I even only looked at the beautiful illustrations (those of the living animals). This man had a sick fascination with dead animals.

Rien Poortvliet tekende en schilderde mooi en hij deed of hij van dieren hield, maar ondertussen vermoordde hij ze, onthoofdde ze, praatte respectloos over overleden dieren en schreef hij dat je een dode kat makkelijk over de struiken kunt gooien; wat verschrikkelijk en misselijkmakend!!!
Op een gegeven moment ben ik stukken gaan overslaan en na een tijdje heb ik zelfs alleen nog maar de mooie illustraties (die van de levende dieren) bekeken. Deze man had een ziekelijke fascinatie voor overleden dieren.

I didn't 'read' this as such because the only copy I could get my hands on was in Dutch, but I really enjoyed and appreciated the art :)

Zo al zij boeken is dit weer mooi en boeiend.

Tja, wellicht kun je dit boek het geleuter van een aartsconservatieve ouwe vent noemen (kerk! jacht! koningshuis!), maar dan wel één die kan tekenen, en hoe! Het is dan wellicht niet 'artsy' genoeg voor de snobs, maar mijn leven lang al geniet ik van de tekeningen van Poortvliet. Zolang ze er geen achterlijke tekenfilmpjes van maken, vind ik het prachtig.

Wonderfully illustrated personal stories, as if from an uncle or grandfather. Some stories and opinions from another time, but I really liked the stories that touched on his ideas of nature, his love for it, and his intimacy with it. It's a lovely book.

Poortvliet's books are always intimate. He invites you right into his world and shows you everything in detail - warts and all. I find him impossible not to like.
