About this ebook
In the lush landscapes of 19th-century Java, a young Javanese student finds himself caught between two worlds—the oppressors and the oppressed.
Minke is a young Javanese student of great intelligence and ambition. Living equally among the colonists and colonized of 19th-century Java, he battles against the confines of colonial strictures. It is his love for Annelies that enables him to find the strength to embrace his world.
