De spiegel van Mercurius

The novel's introspective tone and complex characters made me wonder what personal or cultural influences shaped this story. Did the author draw from real experiences or societal observations?

The character's decisions and reflections felt both relatable and unsettling. I’m curious whether others saw this as a critique of societal roles or a deeper comment on human nature.

The cultural backdrop seems integral to the story’s themes. I wonder how much of the narrative was influenced by French societal nuances or history.
