The Bride of Dreams is a novel written by Frederik Van Eeden. The book is a work of fiction that explores the themes of love, dreams, and the subconscious mind. The story is set in the early 20th century and follows the life of a young man named Maurits who is deeply in love with a woman named Leda. However, Leda is already engaged to another man, and their love is forbidden. Maurits becomes obsessed with Leda and begins to have vivid dreams about her. In his dreams, he meets a mysterious woman who claims to be Leda's alter ego. The woman tells Maurits that Leda is his soulmate and that they are meant to be together. As the story progresses, Maurits becomes more and more consumed by his dreams and his love for Leda. He begins to question his own sanity and wonders if he is losing his grip on reality. Meanwhile, Leda is torn between her love for Maurits and her duty to marry the man she is engaged to.The Bride of Dreams is a beautifully written novel that delves into the complexities of love and the human psyche. Van Eeden's prose is poetic and lyrical, and he skillfully weaves together themes of love, desire, and the subconscious mind. The book is a must-read for anyone who enjoys literary fiction and is interested in exploring the depths of the human psyche.One afternoon we had sailed out, dressed in our oilskins, and the skipper who, submerged to the waist, had pushed us off the shore through the breakers, had warned us to be back within two hours, for at that time the ebb-tide set in and, with the fresh north breeze, the strong current would make it difficult for us to land. My father had nodded as though he were thinking of something else and had long ago penetrated and computed the caprices of the gray and formidable North Sea.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
