| An everyday jungle collecting trip turns into a nightmare of fear,
deception and betrayal for seven villagers when they are stalked by
a hungry tiger. Fearing the tiger is a spirit sent by Allah to punish them, the villagers are each driven to purge their conscience of deep buried secrets and past misdeeds in their desparation to survive. Mochtar Lubis skillfully strips the characters of their disguises, and through the plot, observes how human beings behave under extreme stress. Tiger! originally appeared in Indonesian as Harimau! Harimau! Mochtar Lubis writes with verve and satiric bite. His uncompromising attack on hypocrisy and inequities has earned him much international respect, as well as suffering in the form of two imprisonments by his own government. Tiger! is published by Select Books and distributed by Indra. |
