"Het boek van Siman den Javaan" by E. F. E. Douwes Dekker is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around Siman, a young Javanese man, and his family as they navigate the struggles of poverty, personal loss, and societal issues in the rural village of Tjidamar amid the changing socio-economic landscape of Java. The opening of the novel introduces Pah Rekso, an impoverished farmer, who reflects on his family's difficult circumstances alongside his son Siman. They live in a rundown house, surrounded by barren rice fields due to drought and mismanagement of water resources. As Pah Rekso grapples with the weight of his family's hardships, he considers selling their ancestral kris, a symbolic heirloom, to make ends meet. The narrative explores their daily life, the challenges posed by rising taxes, and Rekso's fears of losing their home and heritage, setting a poignant tone for the broader themes of resilience, tradition, and social injustice that will unfold throughout the story.
