THE FUGITIVE by Pramoedya Ananta Toer

A scarce Indonesian novel written while the author was imprisoned by the Dutch for his role in the Indonesian revolution after World War II. This is a used book in good, read condition: pages are clean and browning at the edges with age; cover shows some wear around the edges. See photos for cover blurb, sample pages and condition - enjoy!

Written while Pramoedya Ananta Toer was imprisoned by the Dutch for his role in the Indonesian revolution after World War II, The Fugitive was his first major novel and the first to be published in the United States. Set during the final days of World War II, The Fugitive tells the harrowing story of a young platoon leader who has led a failed nationalist revolt against Japanese forces occupying Indonesia. Betrayed by a co-conspirator and forced to disguise himself as a beggar, he sets out to find his fiancee, while eluding the military forces who will kill him if they capture him. Combining acute political and social criticism with a gripping, deeply moving narrative, this timeless story of a soldier's return home will haunt the memories of all who read it.
