"Baboe Dalima" by M. T. H. Perelaer is a novel written in the late 19th century that explores the themes of morality and corruption within the context of the opium trade in Dutch Indonesia. The book likely revolves around characters caught in the complex web of addiction, exploitation, and resistance, with a focus on the titular character, Dalima, alongside a male protagonist, Ardjan, who becomes embroiled in the dangerous world of opium. At the start of the story, we are introduced to the chaotic and stormy backdrop of a February night in Java. The main characters, Ardjan and Dalima, find themselves in a desperate situation as they try to navigate the dangers of the sea and man-made threats. Ardjan is ultimately captured by two Chinese henchmen, while Dalima's fate becomes uncertain, setting the stage for a tale that intertwines their struggles against the oppressive forces of the opium trade. The opening vividly captures the tumultuous environment of Indonesia while hinting at the broader societal issues that the narrative will tackle in relation to the opium monopoly and its impact on the lives of the characters.
