Indonesia Between Myth and Reality

---

Indonesian between Myth and Reality - Lee Khoon Choy This stimulating book presents a first hand observation of the various aspects of Indonesian life

and culture and covers a wide spectrum of the interesting diversities in the customs, traditions and spiritual belief of some of the 120,000,000 Indonesians who form the biggest nation in South East Asja. Providing more than a glimpse into Javanese mysticism and the various factors that influence the minds of the Javanese who constitute over 60 per cent of the indonesian population, the book also deals with the myths and legends, ceremonial rites and the various peculiar customs of other lesser communities such as the Sundanese, Bataks, Minangkabaus, Balinese, Trungenese, Torajans, Tenggerese and Baduis, as well as the primitive Dhani tribe of Irian Jaya about whom even the Indonesians know very little.

The author, Lee Khoon Choy, who served as Singapore's Ambassador to Indonesia for 4 years, gives his impressions with a vivid journalistic touch of the places he visited, the people he met and their cultural background.

The book includes eight colour reproductions of the author's artistic impressions of Indonesian scenery, painted with Chinese brush and Western ink.

Indonesia between Myth and Reality is invaluable for anyone who wants to have a better understanding of Indonesia.
