A dutch view with a mill and a river and the text: Jan Terlouw has passed away—and with him, a voice of reason, imagination, and integrity. He was my favorite writer growing up. Oorlogswinter shaped my view of courage, of humanity, of what it means to stand up when it matters. But Terlouw didn’t just write stories—he lived them. Physicist, politician, statesman, and eternal optimist for democracy. His life was a blueprint for what a Dutchman could be: principled, curious, and never afraid to speak truth to power. We didn’t just lose a man. We lost a moral compass.

An extraordinary man with an extraordinary mind, an extraordinary fantasy and an extraordinary heart.
