GRAPHIC NOVEL

11-Jul-14 2:24:30 PM

It was 1946, and Indonesia had just obtained its freedom. Hundreds of volunteers
from the Netherlands returned to Indonesia with a deep passion for patriotism to
defend their country’s dignity. Johan Knevel and Erik Verhagen were among them.
Both were born in the Dutch East Indies, and they returned to the country filled with
dreams and illusions. Johan dreams of the tempo doeloe, the olden days, the haven
of his childhood where he still had Ninih, his nanny. But when Erik was lost at sea,
Johan was burdened by guilt. Using Erik’s identity, Johan traveled to Makassar, his
birthplace. But because Erik was a known communist, the Dutch army was now in
pursuit of him. This psychological graphic novel about the past and loss of identity
is delivered through the depiction of rampokan, the tradition of tiger fight in Java. A
great danger loomed over the country when the tiger, a symbol of evil and the Dutch
invader, managed to escape.

Peter van Dongen graduated from Grafische School in Amsterdam. His first works were published
in a variety of amateur and alternative magazines, such as Rebel Comix and Balloen. His first book,
Muizentheater, about two working-class youths in Amsterdam during the Depression, was published
in 1990 and was awarded the Stripschapprijs for Best Comic Book in 1991. Rampokan Java won the
Best Book Design Award in 1999.

unpredictable one. Along the way, Sumantri saw a rose fell on the ground, and he
became enamored. Who cares if the rose was black, red, or even white? Like any
man in love, Sumantri was blinded and began to lose his bearings. In his mind, these
dangerous tracks were his road to everlasting love. Citrawati was scared to death.
The horses were not trained to go through these treacherous tracks. However, to
Sumantri these dangerous paths are fantastic avenues that would take him to his
eternal love.
