"Indische Menschen in Holland: Oorspronkelijke roman" by P. A. Daum is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story delves into the lives of the Roos family, particularly Captain Roos and his wife Jeanne, as they navigate their existence in the unwelcoming environment of The Hague after returning from Indonesia. The narrative touches on themes of nostalgia, cultural dislocation, and the challenges faced by expatriates as they adjust to a life very different from what they once knew. The opening of the novel introduces Captain Roos, who is struggling with the challenges of life after military service. As he ventures out into the cold and desolate streets of The Hague, the atmosphere reflects the family's own struggles—poor living conditions, disconnection from their past in Indonesia, and tensions within the household. Jeanne, his wife, feels a profound sense of longing for her former life and becomes increasingly dissatisfied with her current situation, which amplifies the family's overall gloom. Meanwhile, their children, Corrie and Nelly, experience the difficulties of adaptation at school, where they face prejudice and isolation. This opening sets the stage for a multifaceted exploration of identity, belonging, and the stark contrast between their memories of Indonesia and the reality of their new life in Holland.
