"Monumental Java" by J. F. Scheltema is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work serves as a contemplative exploration of Java's ancient monuments, particularly focusing on the rich heritage of Hindu and Buddhist architecture across the island. Through the author's personal memories and impressions gathered during his time living in Java, the text seeks to evoke the beauty and significance of these structures while providing insight into their cultural backdrop. The opening of the book provides insight into Scheltema's connection to Java, as he reflects on his personal experiences and the emotional response elicited by the island’s architectural marvels. He discusses the historical negligence towards these monuments, lamenting the lack of preservation efforts and the impact of colonial attitudes on their degradation. The author sets the stage by noting the unique interplay between nature, history, and artistry within Java, hinting at a broader examination of the temples, including their design and cultural relevance, that will unfold throughout the subsequent chapters.
