About this title

Synopsis

As the first lecturer in English at the growing Gadja Mada University, Harold Forster spent four years in Jojakarta, the sanctuary of Java's ancient traditions, the capital of her sultans, and the cradle of Indonesia's newly-gained independence. This colourful commentary on the political, cultural, and social life of early 1950s Java studies the institutions of its mixed heritage, as well as delighting in its towns and cities, temples and palaces, crafts and countryside, dance forms and puppet drama.
