Bag om Jan Van Hunks

""Jan Van Hunks"" is a poem written by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, an English poet and painter. The poem tells the story of a Dutchman named Jan Van Hunks, who meets a stranger on a mountain in Cape Town, South Africa. The stranger challenges Jan to a smoking contest, and the two smoke until a thick cloud covers the mountain. The stranger reveals himself to be the devil, and Jan realizes he has been smoking with Satan himself. The poem explores themes of temptation, addiction, and the consequences of giving in to one's desires. Rossetti's vivid imagery and use of symbolism create a haunting and atmospheric tale that lingers in the reader's mind.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
