Narration Concering Books Bumi Manusia (Tetralogi Buru #1)
Roman Tetralogi Buru mengambil latar belakang dan cikal bakal nation Indonesia di awal abad ke-20. Dengan membacanya waktu kita dibalikkan sedemikian rupa dan hidup di era membibitnya pergerakan nasional mula-mula, juga pertautan rasa, kegamangan jiwa, percintaan, dan pertarungan kekuatan anonim para srikandi yang mengawal penyemaian bangunan nasional yang kemudian kelak melahirkan Indonesia modern.Roman bagian pertama; Bumi Manusia, sebagai periode penyemaian dan kegelisahan dimana Minke sebagai aktor sekaligus kreator adalah manusia berdarah priyayi yang semampu mungkin keluar dari kepompong kejawaannya menuju manusia yang bebas dan merdeka, di sudut lain membelah jiwa ke-Eropa-an yang menjadi simbol dan kiblat dari ketinggian pengetahuan dan peradaban.
Pram menggambarkan sebuah adegan antara Minke dengan ayahnya yang sangat sentimentil: Aku mengangkat sembah sebagaimana biasa aku lihat dilakukan punggawa terhadap kakekku dan nenekku dan orangtuaku, waktu lebaran. Dan yang sekarang tak juga kuturunkan sebelum Bupati itu duduk enak di tempatnya. Dalam mengangkat sembah serasa hilang seluruh ilmu dan pengetahuan yang kupelajari tahun demi tahun belakangan ini. Hilang indahnya dunia sebagaimana dijanjikan oleh kemajuan ilmu .... Sembah pengagungan pada leluhur dan pembesar melalui perendahan dan penghinaan diri! Sampai sedatar tanah kalau mungkin! Uh, anak-cucuku tak kurelakan menjalani kehinaan ini.
"Kita kalah, Ma," bisikku.
"Kita telah melawan, Nak, Nyo, sebaik-baiknya, sehormat-hormatnya."

Historical fiction set on the island of Java at the turn of the 19th century. Knowing next to nothing about the milieu it was almost like reading science fiction, i.e. trying to understand the "futuristic" slang and social conventions. Adding to my confusion were the echoes of the colonial relationship between the British and India, replaced here by the Dutch and the "Indonesians" (I write it in quotations because the book mostly refers to Javanese, Acehnese, Madurese, i.e. specific islandsI really love Pramoedya Ananta Toer's writing style. At first, the diction is quite hard to understand but as time goes by it doesn't matter anymore because the story is enjoyable (at least for some people). This is his first book from Tetralogy of Buru Island (Tetralogi Pulau Buru), and i do wish to have more time reading the other three books!!
No matter what your circumstances are, you fight ! You fight with all you have. This Earth of Mankind is the first novel of the Buru Quartet, the book was orally narrated by the author when he was a political prisoner in Buru islands to his fellow prisoners, and it was published later. The book is banned in Indonesia till this day! This story was slow to start with, had a lot of background to be told and story line to be built. I loved the main characters Minke and specially Nyai. I wish
This Earth of Mankind is the first novel of the Buru Quartet, so called because it was composed when Pramoedya Ananta Toer was a political prisoner on Buru Island in the 60s. I say composed rather than written because the first version of it was told orally to his fellow prisoners. He had apparently just about finished the research and planning when he was arrested and all his notes and books were destroyed.Which is an immediately intriguing back-story, although the relationship between the
Though I've read many Indonesian novels, I missed this book which is considered as the milestone in Indonesian literature. I'm not into classics. The only reason to read it was just because Bumi Manusia would be screening soon, starring my favorite actor: Dilan Iqbaal. As the pages turned on and on, I began to like it. It wasn't like the classics I had read before. The pace wasn't slow as other classics. The characters were built very well. The emotions were absorbed in my mind. It is not
An interesting book marred( I assume from all the 5 star reviews in the original language) by an abysmal -- and sorry to say, laugh-out-loud--translation. That said, I really enjoyed the outright bizarre and melodramatic (and yes they are melodramatic) turns in the story: the keystone cops chases, the courtroom scenes, the doctor who goes on and on for pages about the psyche like some pipe smoking physician giving Rock Hudson moral advice. I also liked the main character's growing self-awareness
this book bring me to the pre-independent and colonialism age of Deutch to Indische. Through this book I didnt just learn history, but also the point of view of Europe-educated man represented by the young man named Minke (HBS Student). Instead of me being critical,this book also made me upset because by the end of the book, Toer bring tragedy to the story, where Minke should be separated from his lovely wife named Annabel.Mr. Toer, you are the best genius Indonesian author, ever. I wonder why
