Why does he receive messages using a false name, and who are the gang members shadowing him from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur and Penang? Is this a criminal scheme, or a political conspiracy, threatening Talib Agian's fate and fortunes? \u003cem\u003eThe Secret Document\u003c\/em\u003e is the first-ever title from the genre known as \"Medan novels\" to appear in English translation. Published in the pre-independence years in North Sumatra, Medan novels reflected the era's nationalist movements promoting anti-imperialism and anti-colonialism, and represented an antithesis to the cultural domination exercised by the Batavia-based Dutch colonial government. Spurring activity of independent local publishers, Medan novels helped spread literacy among the broad public, bringing together writers and readers from across the diverse archipelago. Translated by Mary Zurbuchen, \u003cem\u003eThe Secret Document\u003c\/em\u003e is both a fast-moving adventure and fascinating picture of past times. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 138\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.32 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 17, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47267515564281,"sku":"9786237150176","price":32.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/uVJ0BAL_NA9786237150176.webp?v=1768868050","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-secret-document-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
