(Koninklijke Bibliotheek, The Hague) "Waar mensch en tijger buren zijn" by L. C. Westenenk is a collection of sketches exploring the intricacies of nature and folklore within the Indonesian archipelago, likely written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the relationship between humans and wildlife, particularly focusing on the interactions and shared existence between local tribes and the natural world surrounding them. The narratives are infused with a mix of animism, Hinduism, and Islamic beliefs, providing insightful reflections on cultural heritage and the concept of coexistence. The opening of the book introduces readers to the mystical landscapes of Sumatra, where the author describes the interaction between humans and the tiger, a symbol of both awe and fear. The tales weave together local legends and the realities of life near the wilderness, illustrated through accounts of powerful ancestral figures and mythical beings. Westenenk sets a foundational atmosphere that combines local spirituality with the life of the tribes, indicating themes of magical realism and the enduring ties between humanity and nature. The sketches promise to engage with stories of ancient gods and mythical creatures while grounding them in the rich environmental backdrop.
