Paperback. Condición: New. Originally published in 1900 as De stille kracht, this novel by Louis Couperus follows Van Oudijck, a Dutch colonial administrator in Java whose strict rationalism leaves him unable to comprehend the spiritual and cultural forces of the Indies, leading to the unraveling of his authority and his family. Translated by Alexander Teixeira de Mattos and edited with an introduction by E. M. Beekman, this edition appears in the University of Massachusetts Press's Library of the Indies series, which gathers Dutch colonial literature in English. The work is recognized for its psychological depth and for foreshadowing the eventual collapse of Dutch rule in the East Indies. Nº de ref. del artículo: NN-250612-shelf-8-011
