The Legend of Thyl Ulenspiegel and Lamme Goedzak (French: La Légende et les Aventures héroïques, joyeuses et glorieuses d'Ulenspiegel et de Lamme Goedzak au pays de Flandres et ailleurs) is a 1867 novel by Charles De Coster. Based on the 14th century Low German figure Till Eulenspiegel, Coster's novel recounts the allegorical adventures as those of a Flemish prankster Thyl Ulenspiegel during the Reformation wars in the Netherlands. De Coster was one of many 19th Century nationalist writers who made use of - and considerably adapted and changed - pre-existing folk tales. In this case, Thyl Ulenspiegel is made into a Protestant hero of the time of the Dutch War of Independence (or rather, of the major part played in that war by the Flemish, even though Flanders itself was doomed to remain under Spanish rule). De Coster incorporated in his book many of the original amusing Ulenspiegel tales, side by side with far from funny material - for example, graphic depictions of tortures by the inquisition and auto de fe. As depicted by De Coster, Ulenspiegel carries in a locket around his neck the ashes of his father, burned at the stake on charges of heresy - a feature never hinted at in any of the original folk tales.

Sir Halewyn is a novel written by Charles De Coster, which tells the story of a young woman named Ysabeau who is forced to marry a cruel and monstrous knight named Sir Halewyn.

However, she soon discovers that Sir Halewyn is even more cruel and monstrous than she had imagined, and she is forced to endure his abuse and torture.As Ysabeau struggles to survive in her new life, she meets a group of rebels who are fighting against Sir Halewyn's tyranny. With their help, she begins to plan her escape and to seek revenge against the man who has ruined her life.Sir Halewyn is a powerful and haunting novel that explores themes of love, betrayal, and revenge. It is a timeless tale of a woman's struggle to overcome oppression and to find freedom and happiness in a world that is dominated by cruelty and violence.THIS 70 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Flemish Legends, by Charles De Coster.

C'est dans la langue de Rabelais que M. Charles De Coster a écrit ses Légendes flamandes. Ces sortes de pastiches demandent beaucoup d'étude, une connaissance approfondie du vieux langage français, aux diverses époques, pour ne pas confondre l'une avec l'autre, et une sorte de familiarité de longe date avec les écrivains de ces temps là. En ces labyrinthes philologiques il est facile d'errer. Balzac, dans ses Contes drôlatiques, commet à chaque instant des fautes graves et montre qu'il connaît assez mal la langue et l'orthographe anciennes qu'il a prétendu reproduire.

La Légende d'Ulenspiegel (titre complet : La Légende et les Aventures héroïques, joyeuses et glorieuses d'Ulenspiegel et de Lamme Goedzak au pays de Flandres et ailleurs) est un roman de 1867 de l'auteur belge Charles De Coster. Basé sur la figure littéraire de Till l'Espiègle, il raconte les aventures allégoriques du farceur flamand, Thyl Ulenspiegel, juste avant et pendant la révolte néerlandaise contre la domination espagnole des Pays-Bas.

Domburg est un petit bourg bâti sur la côte occidentale de l'île de Walcheren. Il fut entre tous ses frères, les villages de Zélande, si éprouvés par les mouvements de terrain et les inondations, l'un des plus infortunés et des plus éprouvés. Un horrible incendie le dévora un jour tout entier ; à peine renaissait-il de ses cendres que la mer se rua sur lui et engloutit la moitié de ses maisons : elles dorment maintenant sous le sable ; Domburg alors fit retraite derrière les dunes et là fut de nouveau rebâti ; ce que l'on voyait de lui en mil huit cent cinquante-sept, c'étaient de coquettes habitations de briques alignées dans une longue grande rue et dont les portes, les volets, les montants et les traverses des croisées sont peints pittoresquement en gris, en vert et en rouge...

Nous sont contées ici les joyeuses et picaresques aventures de Till l'espiègle, personnage de fiction, saltimbanque malicieux et farceur de la littérature populaire. Ce texte incarne le coeur et l'esprit de la Flandre dont elle évoque le folklore, le climat et les traditions. Elle mêle l'histoire et le mythe, l'aventure d'une famille à celle d'un peuple.
