Product Description
The Last House in the World by Beb Vuyk and The Counselor by H.J. Friedericy are two classic works that bring to life the harsh realities of colonists of the former Dutch Indies in the early twentieth century. The Last House in the World follows the trials and tribulations of the growing De Willigen family business, effectively destroyed by the tumult of World War II. The Counselor is a novel about the life of a young colonial officer in the 1920s working in the capital of the Indonesian province of Sulawesi, as the violence of revolution consumes all.
