Larasati
**LARASATI** – a revolutionary novel set during the armed struggle from 1945 to 1950. It tells the story of young Indonesians who dedicate their lives to the fight for independence, exploring the lives of true heroes and hypocrites, as well as the conflicts in republican territories and Dutch-occupied regions. The narrative contrasts those who remain loyal with those who defect, and highlights the tension between ORI and Nica money.
At its center is a female protagonist, a renowned film star who, in her unique way, offers herself and everything she has for the cause of the revolution. This vivid portrayal of the revolutionary period brings to life a crucial chapter in Indonesia’s early years of independence, reflecting both the strengths and weaknesses of the movement in a candid style reminiscent of Pramoedya. It’s an engaging work of fiction that draws us into the reality of Indonesia during the tumultuous "preparation era."
