Op het eiland Java vindt een aantal onverklaarbare gebeurtenissen plaats. De inwoners wijzen die toe aan 'de stille kracht', een Indisch mysterie dat de mensen in zijn greep houdt. Resident Otto van Oudijck vindt het maar onzin. Maar als hij een regent ontslaat omdat die zich op een feest onbeschoft gedragen heeft, gebeuren er plotseling vreemde dingen in zijn huis. Als hij zich zwakker gaat voelen en ziek wordt, gaat hij steeds meer in de stille kracht geloven.

Louis Couperus was catapulted to prominence in 1889 with Eline Vere, a psychological masterpiece inspired by Flaubert and Tolstoy. Eline Vere is a young heiress: dreamy, impulsive, and subject to bleak moods. Though beloved among her large coterie of friends and relations, there are whispers that she is an eccentric: she has been known to wander alone in the park as well indulge in long, lazy philosophical conversations with her vagabond cousin. When she accepts the marriage proposal of a family friend, she is thrust into a life that looks beyond the confines of The Hague, and her overpowering, ever-fluctuating desires grow increasingly blurred and desperate. Only Couperus—as much a member of the elite socialite circle of fin-de-siècle The Hague as he was a virulent critic of its oppressive confines—could have filled this "Novel of The Hague" with so many superbly rendered and vividly imagined characters from a milieu now long forgotten. Award-winning translator Ina Rilke’s new translation of this Madame Bovary of The Netherlands will reintroduce to the English-speaking world the greatest Dutch novelist of his generation.
