"Woutertje Pieterse" (or The History of Walter Pieterse) by Multatuli was his second novel and published posthumously in 1890. It is also the most famous work by the author after "Max Havelaar". The history of Wouter Pieterse appeared as fragments in the Ideas , which also forms an organic whole with it. The story is about a dreamy and poetic msterdam boy, Wouter Pieterse, who grows up in a middle-class environment in the French period . The philistinism of his surroundings and curiosity of Wouter often come into conflict, and forms the main theme of the book.Eduard Douwes Dekker (2 March 1820 – 19 February 1887), better known by his pen name Multatuli (from Latin multa tuli, "I have suffered much"), was a Dutch writer famous for his satirical novel, Max Havelaar (1860), which denounced the abuses of colonialism in the Dutch East Indies (today's Indonesia).
Max Havelaar, ditulis oleh Eduard Douwes Dekker, mantan asisten Lebak, Banten, abad 19. Douwes Dekker terusik nuraninya melihat penerapan sistem tanam paksa pemerintah Belanda yang menindas bumiputra. Dengan nama pena Multatuli, yang berarti aku menderita, dia mengisahkan kekejaman sistem tanam paksa yang menyebabkan ribuan pribumi kelaparan, miskin dan menderita. Diperas oleh kolonial Belanda dan pejabat pribumi korup yang sibuk memperkaya diri. Hasilnya, Belanda menerapkan Politik Etik dengan mendidik kaum pribumi elit, sebagai usaha ?membayar? utang mereka pada pribumi. Tragis, lucu dan humanis, Max Havelaar, salah satu karya klasik yang mendunia. Pramoedya Ananta Toer menyebutnya sebagai buku yang ?membunuh? kolonialisme. Kemunculannya menggemparkan dan mengusik nurani. Diterjemahkan dalam berbagai bahasa dan diadaptasi dalam berbagai film dan drama, gaung kisah Max Havelaar masih menyentuh pembaca hingga kini.

One of the most forceful indictments of colonialism ever written and a masterpiece of Dutch literature, in an esteemed translation by an award-winning translator Max Havelaar—a Dutch civil servant in Java—burns with an insatiable desire to end the ill treatment and oppression inflicted on the native peoples by the colonial administration. Max is an inspirational figure, but he is also a flawed idealist whose vow to protect the Javanese from cruelty ends in his own downfall. In Max Havelaar, Multatuli (pseudonym for Eduard Douwes Dekker) vividly recreated his own experiences in Java and tellingly depicts the hypocrisy of those who gained from the corrupt coffee trade. Sending shockwaves through the Dutch nation when it was published in 1860, this damning exposé of the terrible conditions in the colonies led to welfare reforms in Java and continues to inspire the Fairtrade movement today. Roy Edwards’s vibrant translation conveys the satirical and innovative style of Multatuli’s autobiographical polemic. In his introduction, R. P. Meijer discusses the author’s tempestuous life and career, the controversy the novel aroused, and its unusual narrative structure.
