¶ This classic of Dutch Literature was originally published 60 years earlier under the half pseudonym 'Simon van het Reve' in November 1947. The book is designed in the style of 'De kleine neurasthenicus'; the also reprinted self-help book (1922) by Dr. H.G. de Cock, which is considered a source of inspiration for 'De Avonden'. In this 'Beknopte handleiding tot ordentelijk leven', Reve also found the title of 'Het Boek van Violet en Dood'.
