Summary: "In de koffie: Oorspronkelijke Indische Roman" by Jacob Dermout is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around two European men, Messner and Korman, who are struggling coffee planters in the highlands of Java. Their quest for prosperity in the burgeoning coffee industry is intertwined with themes of friendship, ambition, and the cultural complexities of colonial life. The opening of the novel introduces the main characters as they traverse the rugged terrain of Java, hinting at their ongoing struggles and aspirations. Messner, an older man, grapples with the slow growth of their business, while the younger, more impatient Korman, is filled with urgency to succeed. Their journey leads them to seek funding from a wealthier acquaintance, Monsieur Benoit, who ultimately believes in Korman’s coffee enterprise. As they navigate the challenges of establishing their coffee plantation, the narrative sets the stage for deeper explorations of their relationship and the societal dynamics they encounter in colonial Indonesia.
