The Ballads of Mountain Wind

The Compilation of Archipelago Indonesia: Sindoro Sumbing Kledung

“My heart is so uneasy when I feel your temperament is different. You are the wind which usually blows from the height moving smoothly as fast as a wag of a dragon tail, throwing granules of air comforting soul. Now, I feel that you are dreary. My heart languishes for I seldom see you. My heart suffers for there is only few who cares about but many who needs you to ease the restlessness. Your ballads is a compilation from heaven, the children of the country have to recognize you before they leave.”

The Ballads of Mountain Wind conveys the writer’s concern over changes on the structure of nature; and Sindoro Sumbing is merely one of them. The nature in disorder, then, provokes society structure to get suffered. This country is so prosperous, and it is so devastating to catch sight of the development of the nature employing an object-based approach.

The Ballads of Mountain Wind wishes to set pro-nature principle back. We need to think sincerely that nature has its own natural beauty even when nothing touches it. However, the nature begins to weep as the authority exists. The approach of “Build this! Build that!” should be left out straight away. Improper physical construction on behalf of natural tourism promotion should be stopped! Why don’t we begin to build up agriculture tourism which obviously is hand in hand with the nature protection?

The Ballads of Mountain Wind is a compilation of Nusantara’s abundance espoused by a composite of illustration and pictures as well as inspiring essay on the life sphere of Mount Sindoro Sumbing, Kledung, Temanggung, Central Java. It consists of three series, i.e. The Coffee’s Flower, Bangilun, and The Hillside Man. The book is launched to support a fund-raising road show for protection, conservation, and development of pheasant society of Sindoro Sumbing mountainside.

The writer gradually keeps on attempting to publish the other archipelago compilations of Indonesia Hebat (Outstanding Indonesia). It is the writer’s commitment to write and publish the archipelago compilation which issues the nature-and-environment-based local contents.

Description:

• Opening the insight that the marvelous Indonesian nature should be handled proportionately
• Supporting the sustainability by keeping the genuineness of the archipelago
