Publié en 1860, à Amsterdam, le roman de Multatuli, en dénonçant l'oppression exercée sur les Javanais par l'administration néerlandaise, eut un retentissement énorme. On a d'ailleurs souvent comparé les réformes qu'imposa ce récit pamphlétaire à celles advenues aux Etats-Unis après la publication de La Case de l'oncle Tom, de Harriet Beecher-Stowe. Ecrit au temps de Flaubert, ce livre étonne par la modernité des questions qu'il soulève, au point que son héros, Max Havelaar, est désormais une figure emblématique pour le "commerce équitable."

Work Description

Max Havelaar; or, The Coffee Auctions of the Dutch Trading Company (Dutch: Max Havelaar; of, De koffi-veilingen der Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschappy) is an 1860 novel by Multatuli (the pen name of Eduard Douwes Dekker), which played a key role in shaping and modifying Dutch colonial policy in the Dutch East Indies in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. In the novel, the protagonist, Max Havelaar, tries to battle against a corrupt government system in Java, which was then a Dutch colony. The novel's opening line is famous: "Ik ben makelaar in koffie, en woon op de Lauriergracht, Nº 37." ("I am a coffee broker, and live on the Lauriergracht, Nº 37.").
