Samenvatting
A novel of paradise lost—from the bestselling author of Grand Hotel, which was turned into an Academy Award-winning movie
Set against the backdrop of the Dutch invasion of Bali in 1906, and the resulting "mass suicide" of the Balinese royalty, Love and Death in Bali tells the moving story of the peasant Pak and his family and friends, and the tragedy that is their shared fate. Vicki Baum skillfully intermeshes several different stories that all come together in the infamous puputan, the slaughter and mass suicides that brought the old Bali to an end in 1906 and finally extended Dutch rule from the north over the south of the island. Written within living memory of these bloody events, Love and Death in Bali is the story of a passionate yet peaceful and deeply spiritual people who defy the Dutch imperial forces through an act that would bring them certain death—and certain rebirth.
Now reissued in a completely reedited edition under its original titles, with an introduction by anthropologist and award-winning author Nigel Barley.
