Max Havelaar
by Multatuli
'Max Havelaar' Summary
Max Havelaar is een indringende roman van Multatuli (pseudoniem van Eduard Douwes Dekker) die in 1860 werd gepubliceerd. Het verhaal beschrijft de gruwelijke realiteit van de Nederlandse koloniale overheersing in Nederlands-Indië, met een focus op de uitbuiting van de Javaanse bevolking door corrupte Nederlandse ambtenaren. De hoofdpersoon, Max Havelaar, is een idealistische koffieplanter die getuige is van de onrechtvaardigheden en probeert te strijden voor rechtvaardigheid. De roman is een krachtige aanklacht tegen de koloniale praktijken en de schijnheiligheid van de Nederlandse samenleving. De schrijfstijl van Multatuli is emotioneel geladen en vol sarcasme, wat de lezer confronteert met de wreedheid en de onmenselijkheid van de koloniale onderdrukking.Book Details
