{"product_id":"kidung-paji-margasmara-stuart-robson-9789004523692","title":"Kidung Pai Margasmara: A Middle Javanese Romance","description":"Javanese, a major language of Southeast Asia, possesses a little-known literature, occurring in various phases, Old, Middle and Modern. This publication presents a remarkable example, from the poetical literature of Middle Javanese, in an edited text with English translation and an extensive commentary. The aim is to acquaint a wider audience with this literature, in the hope of drawing attention to its fascinating qualities. Set principally in the Singhasari area of East Java, the narrative follows the journey of the lovers, Pai Margasmara and Ken Candrasari, offering a glimpse of the beauty of the Javanese landscape in the 15th century. The cultural, historical and archaeological details preserved in the text help to shed light on the closing years of Majapahit, a largely unexplored period in Javanese history, before the age of Islam.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stuart Robson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004523693\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004523692\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.30h x 9.30w x 1.10d","brand":"Stuart Robson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44149572468991,"sku":"9789004523692","price":168.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_db657c42-73f2-480b-bf2e-6f3af51e0813.jpg?v=1688457396","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kidung-paji-margasmara-stuart-robson-9789004523692","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
