Sinossi
A sweeping tale of power, duty, and longing on the edge of empire that probes loyalty and longing in a divided world.
Set amid the political and cultural tensions of colonial Java, this work follows Van Oudijck, a European official, as he navigates authority, family duty, and shifting loyalties. The narrative blends intimate relationships with the larger forces of empire, offering a vivid portrait of a world where personal ambitions collide with inherited power.
Through nuanced scenes and richly drawn characters, the book examines how culture, climate, and ambition shape choices and destinies. The story unfolds with a focus on inner conflict, moral complexity, and the costs of empire for both the colonizer and the community he seeks to lead.
- Dense, atmospheric prose that centers character and mood as much as plot
- Two intertwined circles of personal and political life in a colonial setting
- Exploration of authority, family duty, and the pull of human longing
- Vivid depictions of Java and its people, seen through a European gaze

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. Step into the vibrant tapestry of colonial life in the Dutch East Indies at the turn of the 20th century with this book. The author paints a vivid picture of a society steeped in contrasts, where European colonizers and native inhabitants navigate a complex web of relationships. The narrative unfolds amidst the lush landscapes and bustling towns of Java, where the oppressive heat of the eastern monsoon hangs heavy in the air. The story delves into the lives of the Van Oudijck family, headed by the resident, a stern yet sentimental man burdened by the weight of authority and a yearning for connection. His wife, Leonie, is an enigmatic beauty whose radiant indifference masks a secret world of desires and dreams. As the story progresses, themes of power, cultural clash, and the hidden forces that shape our lives come to the fore. The author masterfully explores the intricacies of colonial society, exposing the tensions and unspoken truths that lie beneath the surface of everyday interactions. Through the characters' experiences, we gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of human nature and the enduring legacy of colonialism.
