This diverse anthology of traditional tales from across the Indonesian archipelago includes short stories, origin myths, historical legends, poetry, diary entries, news reports and dialogues. Each of the 20 stories is presented in parallel English and Indonesian versions on facing pages, making this a great resource for intermediate language learners. Although written in the Indonesian national language, the stories hail from many different ethnic cultures and include a number of female characters who reveal the challenges faced by women in Indonesian society. In adopting this approach, the authors make the stories relevant and engaging for students, as well as provide fascinating windows onto the regional cultures found among these islands. The stories in this volume include: "Forbidden Love"--A story from West Kalimantan that tells of the tragic love between two first cousins who had to pay a hefty price for their love "Freshwater Dolphins of the Mahakam River"--A story in the form of blog reports from Borneo telling the legend of the freshwater dolphins in the Mahakam River and the challenges faced by the peoples of East Kalimantan "Pitung, the Hero of Batavia"--A story from Jakarta in which a Robin Hood-like figure who stole from the rich to pay the poor, played a heroic role in defending the poor against foreign-run gangs in colonial times And many more! Authors Katherine Davidsen and Yusep Cuandani are experienced language teachers who use these texts in their high school classes at international schools in Jakarta to fulfill the requirements for International Baccalaureate and Cambridge IGCSE curriculum courses in Indonesian language and culture. The stories are graded in terms of difficulty. Each one is accompanied by a set of discussion questions, a detailed vocabulary list, cultural notes keyed to the text and online native-speaker audio recordings. An extensive Indonesian-English glossary is provided at the back of the book.

A young woman takes a driverless taxi through the streets of Jakarta, only to discover that the destination she is hurtling towards is now entirely submerged... A group of elderly women visit a famous amusement park for one last ride, but things don’t go quite according to plan... The day before her wedding, a bride risks everything to meet her former lover at their favourite seafood restaurant on the other side of the tracks... Despite being the world’s fourth largest nation – made up of over 17,000 islands – very little of Indonesian history and contemporary politics are known to outsiders. From feudal states and sultanates to a Cold War killing field and a now struggling, flawed democracy – the country’s political history, as well as its literature, defies easy explanation. Like Indonesia itself, the capital city Jakarta is a multiplicity; irreducible, unpredictable and full of surprises. Traversing the different neighbourhoods and districts, the stories gathered here attempt to capture the essence of contemporary Jakarta and its writing, as well as the ever-changing landscape of the fastest-sinking city in the world. Translated by Mikael Johani, Zoe McLaughlin, Shaffira Gayatri, Khairani Barokka, Daniel Owen, Paul Agusta, Eliza Vitri Handayani, Syarafina Vidyadhana, Rara Rizal and Annie Tucker.

Buku ini sengaja dirancang sebagai panduan latihan langkah demi langkah bagi pemula dalam penerjemahan. Buku ini dirancang untuk pemula yang ingin mendalami seni menerjemahkan. Di sini, buku ini menawarkan pendekatan terstruktur untuk memahami prinsip-prinsip utama penerjemahan dengan beberapa praktik pada berbagai jenis teks. Teks-teks yang disusun dalam buku ini dipilih secara sederhana untuk memberikan latihan praktis guna mengasah keterampilan penerjemah pemula. Dengan memahami bahwa penerjemahan sebenarnya lebih dari sekedar mentransfer makna dari satu bahasa ke bahasa lain, seorang penerjemah tidak hanya bertugas menyampaikan makna secara akurat tetapi juga menangkap gaya, nuansa, nada, dan seluk-beluk budaya yang menjadikan setiap bahasa unik. Semua ini adalah ciri-ciri bahasa, budaya, dan konteks yang rumit—tindakan penyeimbangan yang memerlukan akurasi dan kelancaran, ketepatan dan kreativitas. Dengan demikian, hasil penerjemahan memenuhi ciri-ciri parameter penerjemahan yang sesuai dengan apa yang dikatakan teori, yaitu keakuratan, keberterimaan, dan keterbacaan.
