This is a detailed, narrative–based history of Classical Malay Literature. It covers a wide range of Malay texts, including folk literature; the influence of the Indian epics and shadow theatre; Panji tales; the transition from Hindu to Muslim literary models; Muslim literature; framed tales; theological literature; historical literature; legal codes; and the dominant forms of poetry, the pantun and syair. The author describes the background to each of these particular literary periods. He engages in depth with specific texts, their various manuscripts, and their contents. In so doing, he draws attention to the historical complexity of tradisional Malay society, its worldviews, and its place within the wider framework of human experience. Dr. Liaw’s History of Classical Malay Literature will be of benefit to beginning students of Malay Literature and to established scholars alike. It can also be read with benefit by those with a wider interest in Comparative Literature and in Southeast Asian culture in general.
Suitable for beginners, as well as intermediate students, this book offers a strong foundation for learning the fundamental grammar and structure of Arabic.
A Demonic King. A Cursed Cloak. A Broken Promise. When Kara's soul is stolen on the eve of her 13th birthday by the deranged Kazzabus, it's up to her brother Arias to traverse the divide into the world of Falasia to rescue her, before she's stitched into the dreaded Shadow Cloak. Knowing he'll need all the help he can get, Arias teams up with Sakundra, a feisty young woman who leads a rebel group known as the Rough Riders. Navigating the bizarre yet deadly world of Falasia in a race against time, they search for the legendary 'Babbling Warrior', the only soul who knows Kazzabus' secret weakness. Along the way Arias and Sakundra encounter strange creatures of all sorts, even coming face to face with the Zivaluni - assassins who take the guise of children. As time dwindles away, it becomes evident that a terrified Arias will have to face Kazzabus in a final duel for his sister's soul, and the very fate of Falasia itself.
