Meindert Bylsma En dêr marsjearje ik hinne
Yn dizze boartlike en satiryske novelle reizget Meindert Bylsma mei it jonkje dat er ea wie troch falstrikken en hinderlagen yn it libben. Boartlik en blomryk fertelt er oer it gefaar fan klisjeemieningen, sjabloonoardielen, fan monotinken en hierargysk machtsmisbrûk. Sa komt er der efter dat it in poepetoer wurde sil foar sa'n lyts mantsje, dy't op de startline stiet, mei de hurddraversskuon al oan, om in keardel te wurden. Bron: Flaptekst, uitgeversinformatie
