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.
About the Author: L. Couperus (1863-1923) is recognized as one of the major innovators of Dutch fiction. E. M. Beekman is Multatuli Professor of Dutch Literature, Language, and Culture at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and editor of the twelve-volume Library of the Indies.
