Description: "Ruki, a Javanese, leads a strange, harsh and irrelevant life as an indentured labourer on a Dutch-owned rubber estate in Sumatra. Lonely and without possessions, teh little money that remained to him from his wages he gambled away ... The tragic tale of Ruki, told simply and directly, evokes compassion."--Page 4 of cover.
