Perhaps the best known and most influential novel of the colonial period in Jawa is "Max Havelaar" by Multatuli

Multatuli was the pen name of Eduard Douwes Dekker.

Here is a link that tells of the author, it is worth reading:-

Has anyone written a book about precolonial times? Something like Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa but with the islands of Indonesia as a back drop? Perhaps the national character, if there is such a thing in a country that diverse, precludes it.
