| Summary | "Naar den equator, met een voorspel: van pastoor soldaat" by M. T. H. Perelaer is a historical narrative written in the late 19th century. The work explores life in the Dutch East Indies from the perspective of a soldier and priest, amalgamating personal anecdotes with a broader commentary on the experiences of military life in this colonial setting. The opening of the book sets the stage with a lively scene in the surroundings of the ruins of Lichtenberg Castle, where a musical event is taking place. Amidst the festivities, we are introduced to Herman, a seminarian, who is accompanied by his family. His internal struggle regarding his future as a priest is palpable as he grapples with the temptations of the outside world, evidenced by his friend Frank's carefree nature and the charm of the local maidens. The passage richly describes the vibrant atmosphere and the contrasting characters, paving the way for the exploration of themes such as desire, duty, and spiritual conflict. Herman's initial resistance to worldly distractions foreshadows his eventual turmoil as he navigates the tension between his aspirations and the allure of a different life.
