Are you headed to one of Indonesia’s 1,750+ islands and looking for books about Indonesia to read before you go? Back in the day, I lived in Indonesia. I taught English in a public high school in Depok as part of the Fulbright Program, which I highly recommend for graduating undergrads or those considering graduate school. Before packing up my life and moving across the world, I studied Bahasa Indonesia via flashcards and podcasts. I also began reading translated Indonesian novels and watching movies set in Indonesia. Of course, I also couldn’t resist reading Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love as well as watching The Year Of Living Dangerously. While living outside of Jakarta, I discovered more beautiful and poignant Indonesian books, including The Rainbow Troops. I also began reading more famous Indonesian authors like Andrea Hirata and Pramoedya Anata Toer.

His writing focuses on post-independent Indonesia from Dutch colonial rule. This Earth Of Mankind is the first in Pramoedya Ananta Toer’s Buru Quartet. He wrote–well, narrated–the Indonesian novel while imprisoned as a political dissident on the island of Buru. This Earth Of Mankind follows the story of Minke and his love for Annelies, a descendant of Javanese royalty, as he navigates life and marriage under colonialism. In the 1980s, the Attorney General of Indonesia banned the novel for promoting Communism. Amazon Goodreads More Books About Indonesia By Pramoedya Ananta Toer Child Of All Nations Book 2 Footsteps Book 3House Of Glass Book 4The Girl From The Coast The Rainbow Troops by Andrea Hirata While living in Indonesia one of my friends, Angie Kilbane, had recently translated The Rainbow Troops by Andrea Hirata. Of course, I had to pick up a copy of this autobiographical story about the boys deemed the Rainbow Troops.” An inspiring Indonesian novel set on Belitong Island, watch as these impoverished students and their teacher, Lintang, fight for their educations and futures. The Rainbow Troops evokes the ambiance and daily life in Indonesia in both its struggles, including corruption, and beauty. Watch as the narrator, Ikal, comes of age. Amazon Goodreads One of my former Indonesian students also recommends Sang Pemimpi The Dreamer by Andrea Hirata. Save These Books Set In Indonesia For Later Heading to Indonesia?

Man Tiger by Eka Kurniawan One of the more contemporary Indonesian novels set on the coast, Man Tiger incorporates magical realism with storytelling and mystery. Within Margio lies a white tiger. Beginning with a murder in a Javanese village, readers watch as he hits his breaking point with the tensions happening around him in society. Some have deemed Eka Kurniawan the next Pramoedya Ananta Toer. Man Tiger is definitely on my to-read list based on friends’ recommendations. Man Tiger also made the Man Booker International longlist in 2016. Amazon Goodreads Read even more island-based books. More Books By Indonesian Author, Eka Kurniawan Beauty Is A WoundKitchen CurseVengeance Is Mine, All Others Pay Cash The Year Of Living Dangerously by Christopher Koch Also a movie, The Year Of Living Dangerously is a book set in Jakarta, Indonesia in the 1960s. The Communist Party of Indonesia is on the verge of staging a coup. Koch provides a highly fictionalized account of these events. Surrounded by chaos and violence, Guy Hamilton–and Australian journalist–and Billy Kwan–a Chinese-Australian photojournalist–fall for a British diplomat. Among rising political tension, find themes of loyalty, identity, and disillusionment. Amazon Goodreads More Notable Books Set In Indonesia Saman by Aya UtamiBefore Dawn by Sapardi Djoko Damono Indonesian poetry Books About Indonesia & Indonesian Culture Dial A For Aunties by Jesse Q. Sutanto Dial A For Aunties is one of the most unique and fun fictional books about Indonesia, especially in regard to culture and immigration. This multicultural murder rom-com is set in California, though. Meddy’s family is Chinese-Indonesian. She frequently shares her experiences learning multiple languages, navigating different cultures, and moving to America – where her aunts and mother start a wedding business. Working as a photographer for the family business, Meddy never wants to disappoint her mom. And of course, her family wants to see her happily dating. In effect, Meddy’s mother sets her up on a blind internet date. Not a spoiler, but Meddy accidentally kills the guy – twice. Not sure who to call, Meddy heads home to her aunts and mother with her date’s body in the trunk. They are there to help. With an upcoming ritzy wedding, the family needs to hide the body and pull off one stellar wedding day without getting caught. It doesn’t help that Meddy’s first love is the hotel manager, and somehow the body is at the hotel. Can Meddy keep herself out of jail and find love? Knowing basic Bahasa Indonesia, we loved seeing familiar phrases throughout this novel. Meddy’s family is sweet, hilarious, and just the best. This is by far one of our favorite lighter Indonesian novels and a fun novel about weddings. Read even more books that take place at resorts and hotels. Amazon Goodreads Departures by Nh. Dini One of my former students recommended Indonesian novelist, Nh. Dini. I had been eyeing Dini’s Departures that published in 2014. Elisa is a flight attendant for Indonesian Airlines. Like many after Indonesia’s independence, Elisa is struggling to find her identity. While searching for her birth father, she is also hoping to find happiness and belonging in her marriage. Amazon Goodreads The Birdwoman’s Palate by Laksmi Pamuntjak A more contemporary novel set in Indonesia, The Birdwoman’s Palate promises a culinary tour around the country. Head to Jakarta, Medan, Surabaya, and Palembang — all cities that I’ve visited while living there. Aruna is an epidemiologist researching sporadic bird flu cases around Indonesia. As she travels across the islands with her friends, she begins to learn more about Indonesia and herself. Amazon Goodreads Paper Boats by Dee Lestari Kugy loves to write and float paper boats filled with her letters out to sea. At the University of Bandung, Kugy is reunited with her friend Noni and also introduced to Keenan. Because she has a boyfriend, Kugy denies her feelings for Keenan. Eventually, Kugy moves on both graduating and finding a more practical’ job than writing. Years later, Kugy and Keenan see each other again at Noni’s wedding, forcing them to reconcile their feelings, relationships, and the past. Amazon Goodreads TBR Indonesian Novels I’ve been eyeing The Original Dream by Nukila Amal, but I’ve read such mixed reviews. I don’t always love magical realism. Goodreads Books Set In Bali, Indonesia Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert If you are looking for a famous book set in Bali, you have probably already heard of Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love. Gilbert heads to India, Indonesia, and Italy in search of finding herself and overcoming an awful divorce. I can see your eye rolls at this book suggestion. Fair enough, but confession I do love the premise for Eat, Pray, Love. Although a bit clichéd, I have no shame in admitting that I appreciated and related to Gilbert’s journey of self-love and reflection. I didn’t enjoy the movie version as much. On a more personal note, a bunch of the female Fulbrighters and I read Eat, Pray, Love before heading to Indonesia. When we all met up in Ubud, Bali for birthday celebrations, we went to see the Wayan. Wayan’ is a Balinese name signifying eldest.’ A magical experience, we were totally fangirling. Plus, we had some ominous health and fortunes told… Eat, Pray, Love is a nonfiction memoir that is perfect if you are looking for inspiration abroad or wanting to find love, friendship, and family amongst the rice paddies in Bali. Amazon Goodreads Book Information→ You can also travel to Italy with these books. A House In Bali by Colin McPhee The musical and theatrical performances in Bali and across Indonesia are captivating, educational, and magical. If you are looking specifically for musical books about Indonesia, try A House In Bali. Canadian-born composer, Colin McPhee, heads to Bali, Indonesia after listening to and being inspired by Balinese gamelan music. McPhee visits the Indonesian island in the 1930s. His 1947 novel is a unique look at Balinese arts, culture, and life from a Western musician perspective. Amazon Goodreads More Books Set In Bali Love And Death In Bali by Vicki BaumBalicious by Beck WicksBali Daze by Cat WheelerA Bali Conspiracy Most Foul Book 2 by Shamini Flint Nonfiction Books About Indonesia Krakatoa by Simon Winchester If you are looking for nonfiction books about Indonesia, try Krakatoa. When living in Indonesia, my friends and I decided to head to Cilegon and Carita Beach. With choppy weather and waters, we did not take a boat over to Anak Krakatoa, which formed from the original explosion of Krakatoa. However, you could see this volcanic formation from the land. In 1883, Krakatoa infamously and devastatingly erupted causing a deadly tsunami that took the lives of over 40,000 people. Waves crashed as far as France. Much of the world heard the explosion and catastrophic dust caused changes in the temperature. In Krakatoa, Winchester recaptures the eruption from a historical and geological standpoint. Amazon Goodreads Yoga Bitch by Suzanne Morrison Although not one of my favorite books set in Indonesia, if you are looking for a more attitude-y and cynical version of Eat, Pray, Love, don’t skip Yoga Bitch. I had higher comedic expectations for this one, although I did find myself chuckling. Twenty-five-year-old Suzanne Morrison heads to a yoga retreat in Bali. She’s hoping to overcome her fears and go through the meditative process of self-discovery. Of course, some yogic practices are different than others. Morrison is less than enthused to drink a daily glass of her own pee. Yoga Bitch is for those looking more for a less-serious yoga book set in Bali.

Go to indonesia Buying kindle e-books through Tokopedia, Shopee dll So I got a kindle and I've been grabbing ebooks without paying, but I want to support the authors. The thing is, there is no way for Indonesians to buy kindle books directly from Amazon because of regional restrictions. Apparently I've found services that sell Amazon e-books on shops like Tokopedia and Shopee. Surprisingly, they can even grab some of the most obscure books yet are sold for dirt cheap compared to the actual price. Which got me wondering, how can they manage to make an expensive book so cheap? If I buy a book through them, will I support the authors? Thanks. EDIT So there is a way for Indonesians to buy kindle books from amazon? If so, how? I've tried downloading the kindle app to buy the ebook but it said, "this app does not support purchasing kindle books". Apparently the policy has changed because of Google's updated Play Store policies. My address is in Indonesia, so should that be changed? EDIT Alright, it turns out that there are ebooks from Amazon that I can purchase. Thanks for the answers! Welcometo the new, updated Amazon Author Central.

And if you're new, here's what you can get by joining Amazon Author Central: Home » Practical Information » Shopping Many expatriates continue to enjoy life-long habits of reading books while residing in Indonesia. While there are several options in Jakarta; but finding a good bookstore with an excellent selection of reasonably priced books becomes more challenging outside Jakarta. Local Bookstores and Stationers There is a national book store chains that have branches in most of the larger cities in Indonesia, Gramedia. This bookstores carry a limited stock of books in English. They cater primarily to Indonesian nationals, with a majority of their titles in Bahasa Indonesia. They also stock many titles used in schools throughout Indonesia. They do, however, provide the best selection of office supplies in addition to the books they sell. From paper clips to file folders to pens to desks and safes - these two chains will be your best source of stationery items and office supplies. International Bookstore Chains Several international book store chains, from Singapore and Japan, stock a good supply of books in English or Japanese and have several locations throughout Jakarta. Kinokuniya located at Grand Indonesia is one of the largest English bookstores in Indonesia. Periplus, although not as big as Kinokuniya, also caters to English readers in Jakarta and has numerous locations in the city. Books and Beyond is also another book store that stocks English titles. They have locations throughout Jakarta and carry a selection of popular titles and magazines. These stores cater to expats and offer a selection of bestsellers and have sections on business, computers, health, travel, cooking, fiction, non-fiction, graphics, interior design and other subjects. The selection of titles may seem limited compared to the great bookstores in the west. They also offer a selection of international magazines, however magazines are more expensive than what you would pay in the country it was published in. Normally the issues are 2 to 4 weeks behind the date of the magazine. Prices may be inflated because of the shipping costs, however it is generally not to much more than the foreign dollar amount preprinted on the book cover. Some stores have a better selection of certain types of books than others. The smaller branches of these chains do not always have as wide a selection of all topics as the main store. If you are having trouble finding a certain title, most are very open to special ordering it for you. Normally this will take two weeks, depending on where the book is coming from. In Bali, there is a Periplus Bookstore in Ubud and WH Smith at the domestic airport in Denpasar offers imported books in English. Specialty Bookstores In Jakarta, there are several small specialty book stores catering to specific clientele - including, graphic design, computer books, Christian books, Muslim books and scientific titles. They may be able to assist you in finding particular titles within their area of expertise. Used Books In many of the larger cities in Indonesia you can also find used book stores. Many avid readers tend to exchange titles as soon as they are done reading so many titles currently on the “best sellers” list can be picked up at a very reduced cost! Some expatriate community groups and book clubs also organize libraries for their members to borrow books. In Bali, a good source of books is Bali MarketPlace on Facebook. Ordering Books Online Orders from Amazon or other international sources incur custom's duties if their declared value is over $50. You can purchase books online in Indonesia from Tokopedia, Blibli, or iLotte's Kinokuniya. Tokopedia sells eBooks. Libraries There is a very small public library system in Indonesia. In Jakarta, there is the National Library, as well as one public library each in each of the capital city's five districts. The Indonesian Heritage Society has the best library of books on Indonesian culture and history, open only to their members. The international schools, USIS and other organizations also have libraries, for checkout by members and students. Some expat are members of libraries in their home countries and have continued access to the libraries digital selections, even from overseas. This gives non-English speakers continued access to books in their native language for their families while they are overseas. International Magazines A selection of foreign magazines are available in Indonesia, through newsstand sales, international chain bookstores or subscription. Most publications now have a digital version so if you know you will be moving abroad it might be best to subscribe to the digital version. Mailing hard copies of magazines to Indonesia is expensive, so the digital version is the better option during your stay in Indonesia. Censorship In the past, censorship was more of an issue than it is in the 'era of reformation' that is found in Indonesia today. There are, however, certain types of books that are still forbidden in Indonesia, mainly pornography and those that are politically sensitive or contain sensitive religious material. Historically, the government has had a long list of banned titles which you will not be able to purchase in Indonesia. In theory, if discovered by the customs officer in the airport, the magazines and books on the list will be taken from you if you attempt to bring them in your luggage. However, you rarely hear of this happening nowadays. In the past, censorship was blatant and pervasive. Any issue of a major international news magazine that reported unfavorably on the Indonesian government had those passages inked over, or the entire issue was banned. The Indonesian government has historically been extremely sensitive about negative coverage. In some instances the publishing house or newspaper would be closed down and not allowed to print again. This is no longer the case, however. With the reform governments in power, the censorship of the press and books has been revised. If a book contains sensitive materials now, it just will be banned from being sold. Often these banned titles may be available in Singapore or Australia or through a small publishing house in the west. The can often also be obtained by ordering them online. The fact that these books or magazine issues have been banned makes them a “hot item” and many people finds ways of bringing them into the country anyway. Book Clubs Within the expatriate community, there are several book clubs for serious readers who enjoy discussing literary works. If you are interested in participating in serious book discussions, check with your national women's organization to see if they have a book club. These groups are informal and usually meet once every month. Members propose books for discussion in upcoming meetings, and photocopy or obtain original copies of the books for the members of the discussion group. Books on Indonesia For books on Indonesian cultural topics, the best selection can be found at the international bookstore chains in Jakarta. A big publisher of books on Indonesia is Periplus with a wide variety of interesting titles on Indonesian culture, history, flora and fauna, textiles, music and many other subjects. See also the Recommended Books listed on this site. Prices Prices on books tend to be the same in most bookstores, with retail outlets charging the publishers suggested retail price. You will find that distribution of books is not certain and not every title may be available in every bookstore. You may have to call/visit several stores to find a particular title you want, even if it is available in Indonesia. At this time, new paperback novels star at around Rp 200,000. Imported reference books, photography, cookbooks or special interest books can cost up to Rp, 1, Western magazines are around Rp. 90,000-450,000. Prices are often more than double the price in the country it was published. Compared to locally published books, imported books are more expensive. Some people buy hard to find books online via Amazon or other online sources. Be aware however that you may be asked to pay duty charges when the hardcopy book arrives at your house and this willadd considerably to the cost of the book. Whenever possible buying books on line, it is better to purchase the digital version to avoid these extra charges. Prices 10/2020 Books for Expatriates Community organizations self-publish specialty books for expatriates in Indonesia. See AWA Publications for a listing of some of these. The Indonesian Heritage Society publishes several titles on Indonesian culture. Hotel Book Shops Some of the 5-star hotels also have good book shops on the premises, though the selection is very limited due to the small facilities. Send Books in your Household Shipment or Stock Up on Home Leave Many expats weigh the unavailability of books at a reasonable cost in Indonesia and choose to bring a good selection with their household shipment or when they come back from trips abroad or annual home leave. Preserving Books in a Tropical Climate Indonesia's high humidity can wreak havoc on your books as molds and mildews tend to grow on books that are not kept in air conditioned rooms. An ideal temperature for book storage is 21 degrees Celsius. If you cannot manage that then manage at least to have them aired as much as possible light fan and avoid putting books in a place which will see temperature swings daily as humidity in Indonesia is high and wood pulp starts deteriorating faster at 55% or more. Basically if your books aren't in an air-conditioned room, you are in trouble! They will deteriorate faster! A few tips for preventing mold on your books Don't shelve books directly against an outside wall. Due to temperature and humidity differences between inside and outside environments, moisture may develop along walls. Allowing air to circulate against the walls will enable the moisture to evaporate. Avoid putting your books in direct sunlight. Waterproof basements and walls below ground level. Use water-sealant paint on floors and walls. Regularly inspect your book collection for mold or mildew. This will allow you to catch any infestation before it becomes large. And continue to monitor potentially hazardous areas until the environment can be stabilized in an appropriate state. Put the silica bags from pill bottles, sweets, etc. in the cabinet that stores your books to absorb excess moisture. A traditional remedy to this problem is to put whole peppers on the shelves with the books as they help absorb humidity and prevent those 'book-eater' insects from infesting your books. Or ... don't bring your favorite books to Indonesia..?! Rest assured that you will be able to find reading material during your stay in Indonesia. Check out the many bookstores and discover your favorite! Our thanks to Trippy Jap, Footsie, and other Expat Forum visitors for contributing these tips! Last updated November 16, 2021

Indonesian default dictionaries for Kindle So I got Kindle a week ago especially to use the "translation on tap" feature while reading some book in bahasa indonesia. You just tap a word an the english translation is displayed. But out of the box, indonesian is not supported, so you need to buy a Default dictionary Indonesian to english in the amazon store. There is only few options different versions of the Tuttle dictionaries, which have good reviews from people mostly using the paper version but a few reviews saying it doesnt work as a "tap to translate" feature on the Kindle. Since it was scare to waste $10 on something that doesnt work i picked the other option. The one I picked is new from last year, has only one 3stars review and is simply called Indonesian to english dictionary, boasts over 50k words. Also around 10 bucks. The feature does work on Kindle, however a large portions of the words are not recognized. By comparison my free Android dictionary often got the words that the kindle dictionary couldnt identify. And both are largely beat up by Google trad which is doing great most of the time. Also that kindle dictionary is largly not recognizing words when they finish with -nya, -kan, -mu, etc.. Does anyone has similar experiences or knows workaround for the Kindle? And also, very few kindle books in indonesian it seems, anyone knows where to look for indonesian novel ebooks ? KindlePreviewer is a special desktop app that displays how eBooks will appear when they are read using a Kindle. This is a real boon for authors and publishers who need to know if a book is professionally laid out before it is launched for people to purchase.
Before I came to Indonesia, I bought a Kindle in the United States. I was already a longtime Amazon user, and I registered my Kindle there. I’m happy to report that I have had no problems using the Kindle here in Bandung, in Jogjakarta Yogyakarta, or even in Kuningan a four-hour drive northeast of Bandung. Both 3G and wi-fi work fine on the Kindle here on Java the 3G service is what Amazon calls WhisperNet. I have downloaded numerous Web articles to read later via Instapaper with no difficulty. However, the connections are often very slow here. Free wi-fi is widely available, but be prepared for sometimes agonizing slowness. I’ve been told, but have not verified, that you must register the Kindle in the with a credit card. However, it seems you can also buy books for the Kindle using an Amazon gift card instead of a credit card. Check the Kindle support page for details. You must have an Amazon account to buy Kindle books. Amazon accounts on Amazon websites are recognized, according to Amazon. However, there is no Indonesian site for Amazon. At first I intended to avoid buying the hardcopy Lonely Planet Indonesia guidebook and put it on the Kindle instead. However, I decided against that, based on what I read at some other websites. I have lots of novels and other books as well as numerous Web articles, thanks to Instapaper — check it out if you haven’t yet. There are very few quality fiction books in English available here in Bandung, so I would be quite starved for leisure reading without my Kindle. Update July 15, 2012 To clarify, I read books on my Kindle almost every day in Indonesia. I usually keep the “wireless” 3G and wi-fi turn OFF — because that way, the battery lasts a very, very long time about 3 weeks without charging!. You only need the wireless to download books. You can download free e-books from sources other than Amazon using any wi-fi connection. Learn about lending Kindle books, free Kindle books, and Kindle book file formats > here. If you have registered your Kindle, you can send your personal documents free to your Kindle by e-mailing the files to your e-mail address. Documents can be in MS Word format, plain text, or HTML as well as some others. Note that if you transfer the files via WhisperNet, you will be charged a fee — but via e-mail it is free. You can also transfer files from a computer to your Kindle with a USB cable. Kindle book file formats .AZW .AZW1 .AZW2 Kindle also accepts these file formats .MOBI no DRM; PRC no DRM; and .MP3 audio files
