Max Havelaar by Multatuli
"Max Havelaar" by Multatuli is a novel published in 1860 that exposed the brutal realities of Dutch colonial rule in Java. When idealistic administrator Max Havelaar confronts systematic corruption and exploitation of Indonesian farmers, his story becomes a searing indictment of empire. Narrated through contrasting voices—a self-satisfied Dutch coffee broker and a romantic apprentice—the novel builds toward a passionate plea to the Dutch king, sparking colonial reform and ultimately inspiring Indonesia's independence
movement. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
