Robohnya Surau Kami by A.A. Navis
Cerita dari Minangkabau
Set in a small village in Indonesia, this poignant narrative explores the decline of traditional values and the impact of modernization on community life. The story revolves around a once-thriving surau, a small prayer house, which becomes neglected as the villagers prioritize material wealth over spiritual and communal bonds. Through the eyes of a young boy, the tale unfolds to reveal the tension between the old and new ways of life, ultimately serving as a reflection on the loss of cultural heritage and the moral dilemmas faced by society in the face of progress.
