During the first half of the twentieth century, on an island in the Moluccas archipelago, Felicia lives, the last descendant of a Dutch family that owned nutmeg plantations. Surrounded by memories and fantasies, Felicia lives in a place where legends and real stories intertwine, and where the past has as much strength as the present. First published in Holland in 1955, 'The Ten Thousand Things' is a novel that can be read as an anthology of stories, a sweeping vision of a world as real and intimate as it is exotic; a book that is, at the same time, a lament and a song to nature and life.
