Indonesian literature
- is a term grouping various genres of South-East
Asian literature.
- Indonesian literature refers to written or literary
works produced in Indonesia. The works, which
are transmitted orally, can be seen in the article
Oral tradition of Indonesia.
During its early history, Indonesia was the center
of trade among sailors and traders from China,
India, Europe and the middle east. Indonesia was
then the colony of the Netherland and Japan.
Therefore its literary tradition was influenced by
these cultures. However, unique Indonesian
characteristics cause it to be considered as a
separate path and tradition.
Indonesian literatures, the poetry and
prose writings in Javanese,
Malay, Sundanese, and other languages
of the peoples of Indonesia. They include
works orally transmitted and then
preserved in written form by the
Indonesian peoples, oral literature, and
the modern literatures that began to
emerge in the early 20th century as a
result of Western influence.

Haji Zakaria was a patriot, with his

sons in the revolutionary army, and he
had sold many of his rice fields to buy
Republican National Loan Bonds. Not
that it was only patriotism, either: the
Republican Government guaranteed
the interest on the bonds, and full
payment of the principal within three
or four years. Dive deep into life with
Fareed Zakaria.(Haji’s brother)
He advised Haji Zakaria to throw away
the tickets because they are evil and will
bring sorrow to his heart. Then, several
years later, Haji Zakaria was no longer a
rich man, and all was left in him was his
lottery ticket which the author
reminded him how much those tickets
total, that meant a million and a half.
