Het Woeden der Gehele Wereld (transl. The Rage of the Universe) is a 1993 Dutch novel by Maarten 't Hart.^[1] The title is derived from the text of the poem Au bord de l'eau by Sully Prudhomme, set to music by Gabriel Fauré. It is about the coming of age of Alex Goudveyl, who is bullied by other children and protected by Vroombout, and about a murder that took place some ten years after the time of the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II.^{[citation needed]}

It is the basis of a Dutch 2006 film, Het Woeden der Gehele Wereld, directed by Guido Pieters, and produced by Rob Houwer.^{[citation needed]}
