Description 474 pages ; 20 cm Series The Buru quartet ; 3 Toer, Pramoedya Ananta, 1925-2006. Buru quartet ; 3 Summary As the world moves into the twentieth century, Minke, one of the few European-educated Javanese, optimistically starts a new life in a new town: Betawi. With his enrollment in medical school and the opportunity to meet new people, there is every reason to believe that he can leave behind the tragedies of the past. But Minke can no more escape his past than he can escape his situation as part of an oppressed people under a foreign power. As his world begins to fall apart, Minke draws a small but fervent group around him to fight back against colonial exploitation. During the struggle, Minke finds love, friendship, and betrayal - with tragic consequences. And he goes from wanting to understand his world to wanting to change it Notes Translation of: Jejak langkah A copy of this title was donated by Professor Ron Klein Subject Anti-imperialist movements -- Indonesia -- Java -- Fiction.
