Lode Zielens

Lode Zielens

Ludovicus Carolus Zielens (13 June 1901–28 November 1944) was a Flemish novelist and journalist.

Born in Antwerp to a poor family, Lode Zielens worked in the docks. His first work, "Schoolkolonie", was published in "Elsevier’s Monthly Magazine". This brought him into contact with literary circles, including writers Herman Robbers and Frans Verschoren. Verschoren found Zielens an office job, but this was not to his liking. "Schoolkolonie" received a number of awards, and this led to Zielens joining the Socialist newspaper "Volksgazet" (now absorbed by "De Morgen") as an editor. "Het duistere bloed" of 1931 was a further success. His 1934 novel "Moeder, waarom leven wij?" is considered his finest work and was filmed in 1993.

Zielens was killed in a V-2 rocket attack at the end of World War II. He is buried at the Schoonselhof cemetery in Antwerp.
