From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia

Leopold Maximiliaan Felix Timmermans (July 5, 1886 – January 24, 1947) is the most translated author of Flanders.

Timmermans was born in the Belgian city of Lier, as the thirteenth of fourteen children in the family. He died in Lier, aged 60. He was an autodidact, and wrote plays, historical novels, religious works, and poems. His masterpiece, according to many, is the book Pallieter (1916). Timmermans also wrote under the pen-name Polleke van Mher.

Besides author, he was also a painter and drawer.

During the first years of the Second World War, Timmermans was editor of the Flemish nationalist Volk. Because of this, and because of the Rembrandt prize he received in 1942 from Hamburg University, he was (perhaps wrongly) seen as a collaborator.
