설명
Set against the backdrop of Indonesia’s colonial past, this novel intricately weaves the lives of its characters with the tumultuous landscape of a changing society. Through the eyes of a Dutch boy, readers are drawn into the complex friendship he forms with Oeroeg, a native boy whose life is shaped by the cultural and social tensions of the era. Their bond, innocent yet profound, is reflective of the larger issues of identity, belonging, and the painful legacies of colonialism.
As their paths diverge over time, the story delves deeply into themes of loyalty and betrayal, illuminating the struggles faced by both individuals in an increasingly divided world. The lush descriptions of the Indonesian setting contrast sharply with the emotional turmoil that unfolds, creating a narrative that is both haunting and beautifully evocative. Haasse's prose captures not only the struggles of her characters but also the broader historical narrative of a nation in turmoil.
