De avonden (The evenings) is a 1947 novel by Gerard Reve. Reve wrote the book under the pseudonym Simon van het Reve. It was released on 1 November 1947.
De avonden describes ten evenings out of the life of the 23-year-old office clerk Frits van Egters. The book is partitioned in 10 chapters which each describe an evening (between 22 and 31 December 1946).
In 1988 a film adaptation was made. In a 2002 poll, members of the Society for Dutch Literature ranked De Avonden first among works since 1900 in the Dutch canon.[1]
In 2007 De avonden was named as one of the Top 10 Dutch language novels of all time by readers of the newspaper NRC Handelsblad.[2]
The novel was adapted into a comic book adaptation by Dick Matena. [3]
