| Summary | "In en om Java's Paradijs" by A. Koorevaar is a travelogue written during the early 20th century. The book explores the enchanting Tengger region of East Java, renowned for its stunning landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culture. Through its detailed descriptions and vivid imagery, the text immerses readers in a land steeped in mystery, marked by volcanic features, traditional customs, and subtropical flora, offering both a historical overview and contemporary insights into the area. The narrative unfolds with a journey to the highlands of Tengger, particularly to the sanatorium of Tosari, which has long been a health retreat for both locals and visitors. Koorevaar vividly depicts the topography, including the majestic Bromo volcano and the surrounding areas, while reflecting on the region's indigenous inhabitants and their unique traditions, including the annual offering to the gods. The author captures the transformative experience of visitors to the sanatorium while weaving in tales of past exploration, offering rich anecdotes about the evolving perceptions of the Tengger landscape. As the story progresses, readers gain an appreciation for both the natural wonders of Java and its cultural significance, culminating in a reflection on the interplay between nature, spirituality, and community within this captivating paradise.
