Sitor situmorang (42 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: New. Sitor Situmorang, one of the most celebrated Indonesian literary voices of the twentieth century, claimed that all his work dealt with a single theme-"love and wanderlust," which are "two aspects of one and the same experience." His remarkable short stories are celebrations of modern life, dealing with subjects such as seeking, belonging, identity, masculinity, and sensual interaction with the world at large.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Born into a high-status family of the Batak ethnic group indigenous to North Sumatra, Sitor Situmorang (1924-2014) was a Dutch-educated Indonesian nationalist who experienced firsthand the transition from the Dutch East Indies of his youth to the modern Indonesia of his adulthood.The stories in this collection are a window into the world of a writer dedicated to exploration and change but resolutely attached to the land, people, and stories of his homeland.

"The Lake Toba Poet (Penyair Danau Toba), in his unique style through his poetry records Bali's spirit which has sustained the globalization." Publisher's description. "It is in this spiritual journey that Sitor has finally come to terms to his own life and his search for existence. He has found existence ? the existence of the universe as a whole." - The Jakarta Post - ?? his poetry is interesting for its profound engagement in developing a new use of language, synthetic and proud. "Always, Sitor?s poems are pregnant with high-voltage emotions which discharge energy by means of language.? - Guiliana Malpezzi, University of Milano, Italia - ?Sitor has lived so long, so fully, so intensely, and written so wonderfully, that to read his work is to find ourselves suddenly open to deeper currents of life which flow within all of us but are seldom plumbed so deeply.? - Harry Aveling, La Trobe University, Australia.…
