House Of Glass by Pramoedya Ananta Toer
Set in the Dutch East Indies during the early 20th century, the narrative unfolds through the eyes of Jacques Pangemanann, a colonial police officer tasked with surveilling and suppressing nationalist movements. As he delves deeper into his mission, he becomes increasingly entangled in the moral complexities of his role, grappling with the oppressive colonial system he serves and the burgeoning spirit of independence among the indigenous population. Through his internal conflict, the story explores themes of power, identity, and the inevitable tide of change, painting a vivid picture of a society on the brink of transformation.
