Letters of a Javanese Princess. E-book. Formato PDF Raden Adjeng Kartini - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
When the letters of Raden Adjeng Kartini were published in Holland, they aroused much interest and awakened a warm sympathy for the writer. She was the young daughter of a Javanese Regent, one of the "princesses" who grow up and blossom in sombre obscurity and seclusion, leading their monotonous and often melancholy lives within the confines of the Kaboepatin, as the high walled Regent's palaces are called.The thought of India, or as we now say, perhaps more happily, Java, had a strange fascination for me even as a child. I was charmed by the weird mystery of its stories, which frightened even while they charmed me. Although I was born in Holland, our family traditions had been rooted in Java. My father began his official career there as a Judge, and my mother was the daughter of a Governor General, while my older brothers had followed their father's example and were officials under the Colonial Government.At nine years of age I was taken to the inscrutable and far off land round which my early fancy had played; and I passed five of my school years in Batavia. At the end of those five years, I felt the same charm and the same mystery. The thought of Java became almost an obsession. I felt that while we Netherlanders might rule and exploit the country, we should never be able to penetrate its mystery. It seemed to me that it would always be covered by a thick veil, which guarded its Eastern soul from the strange eyes of the Western conqueror.

It was Aug. 31, then, which marked the beginning of radiophone broadcasting by the press as a public service. The dream of actual vocal contact between points far distant and without any tangible physical union had come true on an astonishingly large scale. The public of Detroit and its environs was on that date made to realize that what had been a laboratory curiosity was to become a commonplace of everyday life, and that the future held extraordinary. Developments which would affect all society. Every week day since that date, and latterly on Sun days, too, The News has broadcast a program to an ever increasing audience. There has been no interruption in this service and the programs have constantly become more extensive and elaborate. At first the concerts were confined entirely to phono graph music. Two programs were broadcast daily — one at 11 30 a. M. And the other at 7 p. M. — and after a time, speakers and singers were occasionally obtained to enter tain the invisible audience. Soon reports commenced coming in from outlying communities that the concerts were being successfully received and enthusiastically enjoyed. The radio has become such a familiar affair in so short a space of time that it seems odd to consider how remarkable this was regarded at the time. The thing from the first held the element 'of magic. The local receiving set became the center of wondering interest in the little suburban towns. The interest grew and dealers reported a demand for radio materials.
