All That Is Gone
A boy’s heart pound in terror as he awaits his ritual circumcision to become a true Muslim. An idealistic young soldier witnesses the barbaric beating of a man accused of being a spy. An eight-year-old girl, soon to be married off by her parents for money, brags to a playmate about the pretty clothes she will acquired.
With All That Is Gone, Pramoedya Ananta Toer, author of The Buru Quartet, evokes the Indonesia he knows so well in transcendent stories that juxtapose war and culture tension with tenderness, hope, and a profound sense of compassion. These are tales of rare power and beauty, offering a unique opportunity for readers to savor the full talent of a writer whose novels have long been a treasured part of the world literary canon.
