Moeder oorlog Kronieken #[nn]

A haunting tableau of World War I humanity anchors this 2016 Belgian anthology collection, Moeder Oorlog: Kronieken. The cover, rendered by Maël in muted, wintry tones, gathers a quietly powerful group — weary soldiers in grey-green uniforms, a Red Cross nurse in white, a bearded officer, and a young boy in a red jacket — amid the rubble and bare trees of a devastated landscape. It's a thoughtful, elegiac image that sets a somber and deeply human tone for the "Proloog" within.
