In The Hidden Force, Dutch writer Louis Couperus presents a prescient critique of European colonialism that was decades ahead of its time. The novel follows Dutch expat Van Oudyck in his life in Java, as he comes to grips with the damage wrought by Western incursions into foreign cultures, not only on a grand scale, but also within his own family.

Published in 1900 it tells the story of a Dutch regent and his family in Indonesia when the Dutch still occupied the country.

When he gets into a conflict with the old nobel Javanese family that ruled the region for centuries, the comfortable life of him and his family starts to unravel. The hidden force that is the mysterious belief of the locals disrupts the regent’s life and exposes his promiscuous wife.

Like Forster’s A Passage to India, this story deals with the irreconcilable differences between colonialists and the people they suppressed.

Superbly written, this novel by Couperus who died exactly 100 years ago in June, and who is regarded as one of the finest writers in Dutch literary history.
