Description
by Louis Couperus (Author), Alexander Teixeira De Mattos (Translator)
The Hidden Force: A Story of Modern Java is a novel written by the Dutch author Louis Couperus. The story is set in the Dutch East Indies (modern-day Indonesia) during the early 20th century and explores the clash between Western and Eastern cultures. The main character is Van Oudijck, a Dutch colonial administrator who is tasked with maintaining order and stability in the region. He is married to a Javanese woman and has several mixed-race children, which creates tension with his fellow Dutch colonizers. As Van Oudijck tries to navigate the complex political and social landscape of Java, he becomes increasingly aware of a mysterious and powerful force that seems to be influencing events around him. The novel delves into themes of colonialism, cultural identity, and the struggle for power and control. Through vivid descriptions of the landscape and characters, Couperus paints a nuanced portrait of life in the Dutch East Indies and the challenges faced by those who lived there. The Hidden Force is considered a classic of Dutch literature and has been translated into numerous languages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
