Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Princess of Java: A Tale of the Far East The palace of the Bopati, who was a Javanese prince and Mattah - Djarri's father, was a striking feature in the suburbs of Kali Chandi. The title of Bopati, equivalent to that of regent or governor of a province, at once pro claimed his high rank and authoritative position, and, although the exact letter of J avan law does not declare a Bopati must be a prince by blood, yet it would be difficult to find one unable to boast of this dignity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Letters of a Javanese Princess (1921) is a collection of letters by Indonesian political activist and national hero Raden Adjeng Kartini. Written over the last several years of her life to friends and acquaintances in the Netherlands, Kartini’s letters illuminate the mind of a young woman with a deep understanding of the political and personal ramifications of injustice in her native Java. For a young woman without access to a formal education, Raden Adjeng Kartini managed to combine a remarkable empathy for those suffering under an oppressive regime with an incredibly effective willpower to establish herself as a leading political thinker in her country. Decrying the influence of opium on Indonesia’s poor, she criticizes the influence of European civilization on its colonial possessions: “Civilization is a blessing, but it has its dark side as well. The tendency to imitate is inborn, I believe. The masses imitate the upper classes, who in turn imitate those of a higher rank, and these again follow the Europeans.” Not only is European influence a cause of cultural loss, it creates a demand, in one specific case, for such products as opium, pressuring the Indonesian government to allow its use and sale despite the harm it imposes upon its people. Throughout her letters, Kartini presents a nuanced, balanced critique of both Indonesian society’s oppressive treatment of girls and women—a lack of education, forced marriages—and the detrimental consequences of European conquest and cultural assimilation. Letters of a Javanese Princess is a powerful record of one woman’s commitment to many, an invaluable resource for scholars of colonialism, and a fascinating text for readers looking to familiarize themselves with the life of a national hero. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Raden Adjeng Kartini’s Letters of a Javanese Princess is a classic of Indonesian literature reimagined for modern readers.

Download or read book Letters from the Cape Classic Reprint written by Lucie Duff-Gordon and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-25 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From the Cape The daughter of John and Sarah Austin ran every risk of growing up a blue-stocking. Yet she escaped every danger of the kind - the proximity of Bentham, her childish friendships with Henry Reeve and the Mills, and the formidable presence of the learned friends of both her parents - by the force of a triumphant naturalness and humour which remained with her to the end of her life. Although her schooling was in Germany and her sympathy with German character was remarkable, her own person ality was rather French in its grace and gaiety. It was characteristic of her, then, to defend as she did la vieille gaieté francaise against Heine on his death-bed. But the truth is that her sympathies were nearly perfect. She\was one of those rare characters that see the best in every nationality without aping cosmopolitanism, simply because they are content everywhere to be human. Con vention and prejudice vex them as little as pedantry can. Their clear eyes look out each morning on a fresh world, and their experiences are a perpetual school of sympathy and never the sad routine of disillusionment.

This book was released on 2017-03-22 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sylvana's Letters to an Unknown Friend Mine should be of use and pleasure too, at least to me. For you and I, who have never met and are therefore quite impersonal to each other, one name is as good as another; so you shall be Amaryllis Belladonna, and if you please, I will be Sylvana, or, your Lady of Flowers. If I should chance to touch on any subject in which our minds may not be in fullest unison, let it pass. The jar need never be said; and I shall get to know instinctively in time, and mean while can write on in happy confidence. In the garden, amongst the flowers, I know we are of one mind absolutely. So with us it shall be as the harp and the hand. Chords will answer to the hand that feels; they are ready almost before the touch awakes them! It is well amid the petty dust that chokes our life - it is well to have a little Island of Dreams, far away in some crystal sea: to spread our wings and take flight, and seek the place where all is hallowed and gracious and full of innocent pleasure. From earliest years your unknown friend has held possession of some such mystic thought-region, whither to flee away and rest when all the world is dull.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters of Mary Sibylla Holland This selection from letters has been made in order to embody in a permanent form a memorial of a nature of rare distinction. No books have a charm more great, or more permanent value, than collections of letters written, with no thought but to please, convey affection, help or console, by persons gifted with sympathy, reason, and the seeing faculty, if - and this is essential - the writer has also the power of style, the inmost soul of expression. Mr. Walter Pater has spoken of the impress of a personal quality, a profound expressiveness, what the French call 'intimit , ' by which is meant some subtler sense of originality, the seal on a man's work of what_is most inward and peculiar in his moods and manner of apprehension; it is what we call expression carried to its highest intensity of degree. That characteristic is rare in poetry, rarer still in art, rarest of all in the abstract art of sculpture; yet, essentially perhaps, it is the quality which alone makes work in the imaginative order really worth having at all.
