Ups and Downs of Life in the Indies (Library of the Indies)
Language: English
Published by University of Massachusetts Press, Amherst, 1987
ISBN 10: 0870235516 ISBN 13: 9780870235511
Owner's bookplate inside front cover. Book is in excellent condition. Binding tight. Pages clean and unmarked. Written by one of the most realistic colonial authors of his time, his naturalistic novel presents a vivid portrait of colonial life on the island of Java in the late ninteenth-century. P.A. Daum (1850-98) was editor of popular newspaper in central Java. In 1883 he began to write novels under the pseudonym "Maurits" and serialized them in his paper. Over a ten year period he produced ten novels, all of them written in unadorned style and concerned with the vicissitudes of Dutch colonial life. His work is known for its direct style, sense of humor, and psychological portraiture. He is a perceptive observer with an eye for detail and a fine ear for the rhythms of speech in the East Indies.

Mirror of the Indies: A History of Dutch Colonial Literature (Library of the Indies)
Language: English
Published by University of Massachusetts Press, Amherst, 1982
ISBN 10: 0870233688 ISBN 13: 9780870233685
Owner's bookplate inside front cover. Book is in excellent condition. Binding tight. Pages clean and unmarked. This book is the definitive literary history of the colonial Dutch East Indies and is partially distinguished from its predecessors by its discussion of materials ranging from natural history and religious sermons to pamphlets and the accounts of travelers from the seventeenth through the twentieth centuries. What emerges from this comprehensive approach is an unusually thorough and sensitive account of the manifold encounters of the Dutch with the East Indian societies that they conquered, tried to understand, and, finally, had to relinquish under the inevitable pressures of change and the desire for independence. This history records how a hybrid literature emerges from that of the colonial culture to become a distinct literature of its own and why the concepts derived from European cultural history such as baroque or neoclassicism are totally inapplicable to the works discussed here.
