Autor de Twilight in Djakarta
Sobre El Autor
A self-educated journalist, Mochtar Lubis is a keen observer of how people respond to fear and stress during war and social upheaval. He gained recognition as the chief editor of the newspaper Indonesia Raya, in which he opposed the ideology that held sway through the mid-1960's. After the mostrar más overthrow of Sukarno, Lubis guided the magazine Horison to its position as the voice of contemporary literature and culture. Frank discussions of social and political life in Indonesia, along with attacks on government hypocrisy and inequities, earned Lubis the wrath of Sukarno. In 1956, his criticism of the government resulted in imprisonment. Released in 1957, he was under house arrest until 1961 but was rearrested and remained in prison until 1966. During his imprisonment, Lubis says he often thought of the jungles of his youth, where tigers roamed, and these thoughts combined with ideas of great leaders: men and women who may be regarded with awe and fear, but who may also crumble easily. The result was the novel "Tiger!" (1980). Lubis's works have the power to challenge. Before the 1977 elections, he shocked the nation with an 81-page lecture about modern Indonesian life, castigating its hypocrisy, feudalism, greed, superstition, and indecision. Lubis is the winner of the Gold Medal for Freedom from the International Federation and Press Association and the Magsaysay Award for Journalism in 1958. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

Reseñas
this book is really great. Eventhough mochtar lubis made this book in the 1950's but still relevant until now. the social and politic problem doesn't change at all. You can see the corellation between the 1950's and now. If you want to know what happen in Indonesia (now), read this book and you will know it.

"Urwald bedeckte die ganze Insel: von der Küste, an der sich die Wellen nach ihrem langen Weg vom Südpol brach, bis hin zu den Berggipfeln, die hoch in den Himmel ragten und immer in dicke Wolken gehüllt waren."
