Hamli tak pernah mengira, keputusannya untuk menerima beasiswa pemerintah Belanda demi melanjutkan sekolah ditentang oleh orangtuanya. Orangtua yang justru dia harapkan akan mendukung sepenuh hati. Namun, adat Minang yang mengikat erat ternyata membelenggu cita-citanya. Hamli pun kemudian memutuskan untuk melanggar adat, merantau demi ilmu. Dan ketika dalam perantauan dia bertemu dengan mojang Priangan yang menawan hatinya, pilihan getir terpaksa harus diambil. Hamli rela β€œdibuang” oleh adat dan orangtua demi cintanya. Kisah semiautobiografi Marah Rusli ini adalah salah satu karya klasik yang hilang dari ranah sastra Indonesia. Siapa mengira bahwa sang sastrawan besar, Marah Rusli, menyimpan kisah cinta yang sedemikian menyentuh dan abadi? Melalui Memang Jodoh, Marah Rusli sekali lagi mempersembahkan sebuah warisan berharga bagi dunia sastra Indonesia.

Salah asuhan by 2937836|Abdoel Moeis book cover

πŸ“˜ Salah asuhan

The novel Salah Asuhan, translated here as Never the Twain, is among the most popular works of modern Indonesian fiction. First published in 1928, the book is still in print today. Hanafi, the novel's protagonist, is madly in love with Corrie du Bussee, a beautiful Eurasian, though he has long been betrothed, to his cousin, Rapiah. Which woman should Hanafi marry: Corrie, the feisty, liberated Western woman, or the simple hearted Rapiah? The conflict Hanafi faces serves as an allegory for pre-independent Indonesia as it struggled toward national identity. Which course was the emerging nation to take? Was it to adhere to traditional values or was it to adopt Western notions of progress and modernity when, in doing so, might lead to the creation of a race of people who were neither Eastern nor Western?
