Synopsis
The Hidden Force is a 1900 novel by the Dutch writer, L. Couperus. In the novel, the protagonist, Van Oudijck, a Dutch resident, faces his own demise as a result of his inability to see past his Western rationalism. The East Indian people and countryside have no effect on him, and the ambiance of Java, coupled with the adverse behavior of their Javanese subjects, prove more powerful than the might and power of the colonials.

Paperback. Condition: 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. Seller Inventory # NN-250612-shelf-8-011
