I picked up this book from the library out of whim. I did not expect to like it at all. Surprise, surprise. The book is translated into English surprisingly without losing much of its essence. Kudos to the translator. I would say Pramoedya Ananta Toer is right up there with John Steinbeck and Leo Tolstoy. The way Pram described humanity and life is just amazing. His books are must read for students of Indonesian Studies.Another author I want my children to read someday.
