Synopsis of An Empire of the East

En 1991, Norman Lewis, con 83 años, se embarcó en una serie de tres arduos viajes a los rincones más conflictivos de Indonesia: el extremo occidental de Sumatra, Timor Oriental e Irian Jaya. 'Un imperio del este' es su magnífico canto de cisne, que desentierra la devastación de las selvas tropicales en Sumatra, la casi olvidada masacre balinesa de los comunistas en 1965, la destrucción de Timor Oriental, la cultura de cazadores-recolectores de la Edad de Piedra de la tribu Yali (en el oeste de Papúa Nueva Guinea) y, quizás lo más escalofriante de todo, su visita a la mina de cobre de Freeport en el cielo. El autor se presenta como una imagen de inocencia, informando solo sobre lo que puede observar y utilizando sus herramientas de ironía, humor y moderación bien perfeccionadas para evaluar el poder de los generales javaneses gobernantes que, para bien o para mal, se hicieron cargo del dominio de 300 años del régimen colonial holandés explotador.
