A proposito di questo titolo

In which the author muses upon the sombre nature of history as a catalogue of human misery and conflict, likening historians to birds of prey that glean their sustenance from the woes and wars of mankind. He then introduces the figure of William Kieft, a sharp-featured, irritable gentleman whose peculiar genius and contentious spirit mark the stirring of a once peaceful province towards turbulent times.
