Summary

"Chairil Anwar (1922-1949) was the primary architect of the Indonesian literary revolution in both poetry and prose. In a few intense years he forged almost single-handedly a vital, mature literary language in Bahasa Indonesia, a language which formally came to exist in 1928. Anwar led the way for the many Indonesian writers who have emerged during the past fifty years." "This volume contains all that has survived of Anwar's writing. It no longer needs the sort of introduction which it did some thirty years ago when Burton Raffel first published English translations of Anwar's work. Raffel now presents the complete poems and the small amount of surviving prose in new translations with new interpretations. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
