Rise of Dutch Empire.
raveling to the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the 1860s, he became the Crown Prince of the Netherlands William Hendrick (full name Willem Alexander Nicholas Frederick Karel Hendrick), Prince of Orange.
He didn’t want to work hard to join the war-torn 19th century European hegemony. He just wanted to be a crown prince with peace of mind until William III abdicated in 1890.
He even made up his mind whether to directly Forget about leading the Netherlands to be a neutral country, spend a little time and experience the leisurely life of the upper class of the nobles in this era, it is worthwhile to come here for a while.
But the reality is ‘cruel’. His father, William III, was dissatisfied with Tolbek’s re-election as prime minister of the Netherlands because of the weakening of the royal power. So a ridiculous scene appeared. Before forming a new cabinet, Erbec took the first step.
On December 1, 1861, he directly announced that the throne would be passed on to his eldest son, William Hendrick, who was the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, and his younger son, William Frederick, who was born in 1851, became the Grand Duke of Luxembourg.
The heir, and after William Hendrick became King of the Netherlands, he took Queen Sophie and William Frederick to Luxembourg. With such a ‘prominent’ background, how could William Hendrick live those small days?
So in desperation, I can only directly accept the mess left by William III and clean up the mess.
William Hendrick smiled bitterly: “Okay, I admit that I need to face the threat of European powers.”

The Duty
A short story about war, about understanding what duty is for everyone and the joys, fears and sacrifices that come with it. About a nameless girl as she follows her "duty" as a citizen during World War II.
This is a short story written for school, and we had a six-page limit so I wasn't able to develop the characters as much as I would have liked, so I apologize if it's somewhat lacking in that area.

The Dutch boy was a young lad from the Dutch village near the dike. He wasn't a hero with special powers or anything like that. Just a normal boy who happened to be in the right place at the right time and had the sense and courage to do what was needed. He was probably out playing or something when he noticed the leak in the dike and decided to take action instead of running away or ignoring it.

Well, it depends on which novel you're referring to. In some novels, there might be a character named Dutch, but not in all. You might need to provide more details about the specific novel you have in mind.
The Dutch novelist van Gulik was a famous sinologist, diplomat, and novelist. He was the author of the famous novel " The Case of Duke Di of Tang ". In the process of writing, Gulik had taken the strengths of both the East and the West. He had combined the elements of Chinese classical judicial works and detective novels with the writing techniques of modern Western detective novels to create a unique image of a Chinese detective. His works were popular all over the world and were translated into many languages. Van Gulik had made a great contribution to the spread of Chinese culture. His Di Renjie series of novels had a far-reaching influence and became one of the important windows for Westerners to understand China.
Di Renjie's original novel, The Great Tang Di Gong Case, was written by the Dutch writer Gulik. Van Gulik was a Dutch sinologist, diplomat, and novelist. He was obsessed with Chinese culture and detective novels. He spent 18 years writing this mystery novel with Di Renjie, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, as the protagonist. After his work was published in Europe, it caused a sensation and was hailed as the "Sherlock Holmes of the East". Therefore, Di Renjie's original novel was written by a Dutch writer.
Yes, Di Renjie was created by the Dutchman, Van Gulik. Van Gulik was a Dutch sinologist, diplomat, and novelist. He had spent 18 years writing " The Great Tang's Digong Case," which was a mystery novel with the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Di Renjie, as the protagonist. Through his own understanding of the language, he re-created the role of Di Renjie, the Chinese detective. The novel was very popular in China and was translated into many foreign languages, making Di Renjie one of the world's most famous detectives.
Dutch novels can be very diverse in style. Some are written in a very straightforward, almost journalistic style, while others are highly experimental with language and narrative structure. In addition, they often draw on Dutch history and culture. Whether it's the colonial past or the more recent events, these elements are often incorporated into the stories, adding depth and authenticity to the novels.
Well, a 'double dutch novel' might be a novel that has elements of mystery or enigma. 'Double dutch' originally meant something that was not straightforward. So perhaps it's a novel where the story unfolds in a non - linear way, with multiple plotlines that seem to be intertwined in a puzzling manner. It could also be a novel that uses a unique narrative style that is not commonly seen, which makes it seem 'double dutch' to the average reader.
Well, 'novel dutch books' could potentially be some innovative or freshly - conceived forms of the traditional Dutch book concept. In the basic sense, a Dutch book in probability theory is about constructing a set of bets where the person making the bets is bound to lose no matter what the results are. So, a 'novel' one might involve new ways of setting up these bet combinations, perhaps using different types of events or probability models that haven't been used in the traditional Dutch book scenarios before.
