Airlangga is a drama in three parts. This book tells about conflicted between Airlangga and her daughter Sanggrama Wijayatunggadewi. Airlangga wanted to give the throne to Sanggrama, but her daughter rejected her father.
This book was written in Dutch language and published in magazine “Timboel” with the same title. The author Das Chall had been translated into Indonesian language with a lyric prose style like we enjoy it only to Sanoesi Pane. Indonesian writer.

This book is a drama that divided into three parts.  
   
-Part I

        Airlangga as the main character in this story did a fight to make the biggest kingdom in Java. He worked hard to make it perfect like what he wanted. But over time, he was getting old. Then he wanted to give the throne to her daughter Sanggrama Wijayatunggadewi. But her daughter said no. Because she just wanted to live in a peace as a recluses. Then Airlangga got angry and he didn’t know what he had to do.

-Part II

In a specific time, the older prince and the youngest prince, Airlangga’s sons were fight each other to get the throne while Sanggrama didn’t want to take the throne. After that Airlangga was gave up. He didn’t want to life again. How could was he? He blamed his-self for everything that was happened. He wanted to run somewhere, far away from the kingdom, far away from those people.

-Part III

Finally in this part, Airlangga met Arya Bharad, his old friend. He was a great recluses ever. Arya Bharad was waking him up, tried to open his eyes. But Airlangga was a stubborn person, it’s hard to make him better. But Arya Bharad was also a great person, he can not let him gave up just like that. He is his besfriend. Arya Bharad told him his glories era, before Airlangga became the biggest king in the east. His worked hard was excellent. Not everyone can did it. He tried to remember his mission, his vision, his dream to make Java be better.

~ This book, Airlangga, drama in three parts is really interesting book. This book invite us to ancient time when people especially in our country, Indonesia, was in Majapahit’s era. And the era of Majapahit's Kingdom was the most awesome era. Airlanngga as the main character in this story. He is my favorite actor in this story. Because he had a good spirit, responsibility, commitment, gentleman and he was a hard worker. I cried when I was reading this book in the first part. About how he was standing by himself it was not easy. His hard work was produced good thing. The main character is also credible because the creator described the main character so clear by his long conversation in every part and conflict.
The explanation of the story by long conversation is really deep. It shows how to make the reader understand the meaning from the creator by the language. It makes the reader feel the sense of every single of the conversation. But I think if the meaning from every character more deep than before it would be great story. The reader would be in era of Majapahit’s Kingdom, for real. But at least this book makes me as a personal reader more interested in Java culture.
