Author Description Herman Heijermans (3 December 1864 – 22 November 1924), was a Dutch playwright, novelist and sketch story writer, who is considered to be the greatest Dutch dramatist of the modern era.<br /><br />Heijermans began his literary career in 1893 as a theater critic for De Telegraaf. His fierce criticisms often stirred controversy. Heijermans soon decided to start writing plays himself, most of which revolved around social and ethical issues. His first big success, Ghetto, is set in the Orthodox Jewish community of rag merchants, while his most successful play, Op hoop van Zegen (The Good Hope) was a strong indictment of the exploitation of Dutch fishermen.<br /><br />In addition to his plays, many short stories - most of them written under the pseudonym Samuel Falkland - and several novels are part of Heijermans' oeuvre. After his death of cancer in 1924, the SDAP organised a funeral procession between Zandvoort and Amsterdam, which attracted a great amount of admirers.
