Summary "The Legend of Ulenspiegel, Volume 2 (of 2)" by Charles de Coster is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. It follows the adventurous exploits of Ulenspiegel, a spirited and rebellious character challenging the oppressive rule of the Duke of Alba in the Low Countries during the tumultuous period of the Dutch Revolt. This fiction work delves into themes of resistance, identity, and the struggles of everyday people against tyranny, peppered with elements of humor and folklore. The opening portion of the tale introduces a tense political atmosphere, showcasing Ulenspiegel's determination to defy authority and his witty camaraderie with Lamme Goedzak. The narrative begins with a recounting of the cruel execution of noble figures, leading to Ulenspiegel's resolve to fight back against the oppressive regime. The dynamic between Ulenspiegel and Lamme is vibrant, filled with dialogue that reflects both their fears and defiance. As the story unfolds, intrigue is built around their plotting against the Duke and the harsh realities faced by the people of Flanders, setting the stage for a captivating blend of adventure and historical commentary.
