Indonesia Etc: Enhanced Edition

Indonesia is one of the most compelling countries on earth; it offers unexpected adventures that range from taking tea with a corpse or a Sultan to negotiating crowds of thugs dressed as Islamists, protesting against pop stat Lady Gaga. Indonesia Etc.: Exploring the Improbable Nation has been celebrated by The New Yorker, the Wall Street Journal, National Geographic and many other publications as a lively and deeply insightful guide to the country’s complexities, but many readers have yearned for illustrations; Indonesia is visually compelling, too.  This enhanced edition is the answer: it includes videos, slide shows and archival material collected by the author during her 22,000 kilometre trek around the country in 2012, as well as old letters from generals and rebels harvested from the archives she’s kept 25 year association with the country. The videos, edited and voiced by Elizabeth herself, provide an extra insight into the things she found most striking or curious.
