Child of All Nations
of Pramoedya Ananta Toer, Max Lane (Translator)
Series: Tetralogi Buru #2
Description
In Child of All Nations, the reader is immediately swept up by a story that is profoundly feminist, devastatingly anticolonialistâand full of heartbreak, suspense, love, and fury. Pramoedya immerses the reader in a world that is astonishing in its vividness: the cultural whirlpool that was the Dutch East Indies of the 1890s. A story of awakening, it follows Minke, the main character of This Earth of Mankind, as he struggles to overcome the injustice all around him. Pramoedyaâs full literary genius is evident in the brilliant characters that populate this world: Minkeâs fragile Mixed-Race wife; a young Chinese revolutionary; an embattled Javanese peasant and his impoverished family; the French painter Jean Marais, to name just a few.
