The Fugitive
Hardo, an officer of the Japanese-trained militia whose revolt has just failed, comes back to his village near Blora disguised as a filthy beggar and spends a day and a night among people who do not recognise him, his father and his intended among them. The man who informed on the rising is close by and prospering. Written while Pramoedya was held in a Dutch colonial prison, smuggled out, and awarded the Balai Pustaka prize.
