Hello Kaskusers,
I am here to ask local folks about Indonesian literature. I'm glad if you could share your recommendations.
Could you name three masterpieces in Indonesian literature available in English?
I read The Rainbow Troops (Laskar Pelangi) and that was awesome. Any genre is okay. Please provide brief introduction about your favorite book with Title/Author.
Thank you for your attention.

I've read them all 
I think one of them is Tan Malaka's Madilog (Materialisme, Dialektika, Logika [Materialism, Dialectics, Logic]). It tells about philosophy, maths, physics, chemistry, biology, social science, and other knowledge.
