Novel ini adalah jenis novel yang dari halaman depan hingga halaman akhir tak pernah berhenti menawarkan tegangan. Dengan cerita yang bikin penasaran dan gaya bahasa yang mengalir secara lincah, novel ini seolah tak memberikan jeda kepada pembaca untuk sekadar berhenti sejenak, melainkan menuntut untuk menuntaskannya hingga akhir. Sebuah cinta yang rumit, tragedi yang traumatik, perjuangan hidup yang tidak mudah, upaya hebat melawan penyakit yang akut, dan benturan-benturan hebat dengan realitas yang pahit, menjadi silang-sengkarut dalam diri Hilda, tokoh utama novel ini, dengan lingkungan pesantren yang adem, orang-orang yang penuh cinta dan kasih, pemahaman agama yang digali dari kitab-kit...

In October 1999, Abdurrahman Wahid, almost blind and recovering from a nearfatal stroke, was elected as Indonesia's fourth president. Referred to as 'Indonesia's surprising new president' by the Economist, the man who had commanded the highest respect of his fellow countrymen for his lifetime devotion to public service, liberal democracy and tolerant Islam, was impeached in humiliating and controversial circumstances less than two years later. Wise to some, insolent to others, Abdurrahman's mercurial style of leadership constantly confounded critics and ultimately caused him to be widely misunderstood by both domestic and international observers. For the first time, biographer Greg Barton delves beneath the surface and gives us a unique insight into the man and his world drawn from his long relationship with Gus Dur - including being at his side during the final extraordinary months of the presidency. Those interested in the drama of modern Indonesian politics will find this book provides a fascinating and invaluable account of the enigmatic Gus Dur.
A highly controversial intervention into the debate on postmodernism and feminism, this book looks at what happens when these modes of analysis are jointly employed to illuminate the sexual politics of Islam. As a religion, Islam has been demonized for its gender practices like no other. This book analyzes that Orientalism, with particular reference to representations of Muslim women and describes the real sexual politics of Islam. The author goes on to describe the rise of Islamic fundamentalism and the West's response to it. She argues that regardless of the sophisticated argument of postmodernists and their suspicion of power, as an intellectual and political movement postmodernism has pu...

This short story collection contains 13 short stories by Ahmad Tohari which were written between 1976 and 1986. Like his previous works, in this collection Tohari stays true to his path and presents the village life as well as the daily struggles of the poor and innocent people. As what has been described in the “Foreword”, Tohari’s strength lies in the village setting which is rich with intricate details about the local plants and animals. Apart from that, Tohari’s style is clear, direct, and simple although his stories also apply strong metaphors and irony.
