An Empire of the East
Norman Lewis
First published in 1993, this account of the author's travels in Sumatra, Bali, East Timor and Irian Jaya, describes the exotic landscapes, peoples and customs he encounters and also comments on political aspects of Indonesian life. Includes a select bibliography. The author's other publications include 'Golden Earth' and 'A Goddess in the Stones'.
Graham
Greene called Lewis "one of the best"; Pico Iyer said he's "one of the
world's last unguarded secrets"; and Anthony Burgess said "his prose is
almost edible." And yeah, he's pretty good. Lewis visits deep into the
leafy and political jungles of Sumatra and East Timor, describing the
lurking perils of Indonesian restaurants that cook their food once a
week and political land mines as well. "Empire" is a scholarly and
well-written treatment of Indonesia.
