Salah Asuhan

"Salah Asuhan" is a classic Indonesian masterpiece by Abdoel Moeis that explores the tragic consequences of Westernization and cultural displacement. The story centers on Hanafi, a young Minangkabau man who receives a Western education and subsequently turns his back on his own traditional culture and family. His infatuation and troubled marriage with Corrie du Bussee, a free-spirited half-European woman, leads to a clash of values, alienation, and social tragedy, highlighting the profound conflicts between European modernism and traditional Indonesian custom.
