About Langs de IJssel
In Langs de IJssel, Huub Stapel follows the IJssel, the most idiosyncratic river in our country. It does not flow from East to West like other rivers, but towards the North. Huub investigates the role this river plays in the landscape, its history and the lives of the people who live on its banks.
