This image is part of a series called 'Writers at Work' from the Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad.

The goal of this series was to portrait the great Dutch writers in their offices to show how they work and where they work. Every two weeks a new panorama was published on the NRC Book website, along with an interview about the office and the roll of the office in the work of the writer.

To see more Dutch writers, search for 'Zie de Schrijvers Werken' in the searchbox. This image shows Dutch Biologist and writer Midas Dekkers in his library, along with his great collection of books and animals.
