Child of All Nations Paperback - 1996
by Pramoedya Ananta Toer; Max Lane (Translator); Introduction by Max Lane
The second book in the epic quartet of novels known to some as the Buru Tetralogy. This vivid story of awakening follows the main character from This Earth of Mankind as he struggles to overcome the omnipresent injustices in the Dutch East Indies of the 1890s.
Summary
In Child of All Nations, the reader is immediately swept up by a story that is profoundly feminist, devastatingly anticolonialist—and 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. Pramoedya's full literary genius is evident in the brilliant characters that populate this world: Minke's 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.
