"Max Havelaar or the Coffee Auctions of the Dutch Trading Company" is a famous novel by the Dutch writer Multatuli, which was published in 1860. This book is a vivid example of literary realism and at the same time a strict political and social pamphlet.
In his work, Multatuli protested against the falsehood, corruption and exploitation accompanying the Dutch colonial policy in Indonesia. The novel "Max Havelaar" focuses the reader's attention on the social troubles of that time due to the picturesque exposure of the wanderings and sufferings of the local population under Dutch colonial rule.
The author finds optimism in the power of protest and belief in justice, raising heroes who are ready to risk their lives for an idea. "Max Havelaar" remains relevant even today, reminding us of the importance of fighting for the truth and the dignity of every person.
