I have read this book twice. The author, Y.B Mangunwijaya, wonderfully illustrate the dignity of human being. The story stream frontally, even scoffs at so many things without hesitation. Precisely by this way, the story was felt life vicinity to the real of human being.The story took three plots of period. It represents very smart. Paradoxes of life, even divinity, are shown elegantly as enigmatic questions. Esoteric battle of Setadewa, the protagonist character of this roman, shows his strength and weakness at the same time. Complexity of human is depicted clearly inside this character. That complexity was gathered between chic dictions and comprehension of much knowledge. Those stream smoothly.
I read the first printing (1981). Some wrong words in this edition might insult the comfort of reading. However, that neglects by the beauty inside the book.
