Child of All Nations (Buru Quartet, #2) - In Child of All Nations, the reader is immediately swept up by a story that is profoundly feminist, devastatingly anticolonialistand full of heartbreak, suspense, love, and fury. Pramoedya immerses the reader in a world that is astonishing in its vividness: the cultural whirlpool that was the Dutch East Indies of the 1890s. A story of awakening, it follows Minke, the main character of This Earth of Mankind, as he struggles to overcome the injustice all around him. Pramoedyas full literary genius is evident in the brilliant characters that populate this world: Minkes fragile Mixed-Race wife; a young Chinese revolutionary; an embattled Javanese peasant and his impoverished family; the French painter Jean Marais, to name just a few.
