      A wide-ranging and beautiful collection of essays from one of world literature’s most important writers. Goenawan Mohamad is one of Indonesia’s foremost public intellectuals, and this translated volume of essays—spanning from 1968 to the present day—demonstrates the breadth of his perceptive and elegant commentary on literature, faith, mythology, politics, and history. Through the worst days of Indonesia's authoritarianism, in the face of the trauma of great violence and the chaos of democratic transition, Goenawan has never lost faith in the act of writing. Many of his essays from In Other Words were first published for Tempo, the Indonesian weekly magazine that he founded in 1971. His writings bring nuance and sympathy to difficult histories, introduce doubt to damaging certainties, and apply clarity of thought and action to times of great upheaval. Activist, journalist, editor, essayist, poet, commentator, theater director, and playwright, Goenawan Mohamad brings an unparalleled and wide-ranging perspective to the world. These essays, translated by his long-time collaborator Jennifer Lindsay, reveal a vision both uniquely Indonesian and completely universal, and indisputably establish him as one of the leading political thinkers and cultural observers in the world today.

    • Don Quijote ist eine Sammlung von neunzehn zweisprachigen Gedichten über den kühnen Ritter und seinen treuen Diener Sancho Panza. Seit Miguel de Cervantes den Junker Don Quijote in seinem Roman 1605 geschaffen hat, haben sich weltweit Schriftsteller, Künstler und Musiker mit der Figur und seinen Erlebnissen in ihren Werken auseinandergesetzt. Der indonesische Schriftsteller Goenawan Mohamad interpretiert die Figur neu und erzählt mit seinen Gedichten die spannenden Geschichten aus der Welt des Don Quijote. Die lyrischen Miniaturen der Abenteuer entstanden in den Jahren von 2007 bis 2010. In unterschiedlichen sprachlichen Formen entfaltet Goenawan Mohamad die Welt des Don Quijote, so wie dieser sie mit seinen Augen sieht. Die Gedichte werden durch Zeichnungen des Autors ergänzt.
