Max Havelaar: Or, the Coffee Auctions of the Dutch Trading Company by David...
A fierce indictment of colonialism, Max Havelaar is a masterpiece of Dutch literature based on the author's own experience as an adminstrator in the Dutch East Indies in the 1850s.
A brilliantly inventive fiction that is also a work of burning political outrage, Max Havelaar tells the story of a renegade Dutch colonial administrator\u2019s ultimately unavailing struggle to end the exploitation of the Indonesian peasantry. Havelaar\u2019s impassioned expos\u00E9 is framed by the fatuous reflections of an Amsterdam coffee trader, Drystubble, into whose hands it has fallen. Thus a tale of the jungles and villages of Indonesia is interknit with one of the houses and warehouses of bourgeois Amsterdam where the tidy profits from faraway brutality not only accrue but are counted as a sign of God\u2019s grace.
