  Multatuli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Regardless of the origin of the pseudonym, Multatuli also happens to be a combination of the Finnish words for mould ("multa") and fire ("tuli"), and if you put the words separately in a sentence as "Multa tuli", it roughly translates as "I ejaculated".
The exposure of the abuse of free labour in the Dutch Indies was thorough, although colonialist apologists accused Dekker's terrible picture of being overdrawn.
Multatuli now began his literary career, and published Love Letters (1861), which, in spite of their mild title, were mordant, unsparing satires.

 The Anarchist Encyclopedia: Multatuli Page; aka Eduard Douwes Dekker, Edward Dekker; Authors, Poets, Anarchists...: A ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Multatuli's ideas influenced the socialist & libertarian milieu of his time & practising his libertarian ideals scandalized his contemporaries, living as he did with two women & their children.
Despite its tragic themes, Max Havelaar is savagely funny, particularly the chapters narrated by Droogstoppel, a character unmatched for his veniality, narrow-mindedness, or singular lack of understanding or imagination.
Though Multatuli's masterpiece is nearly 150 years old, it wears its age well, & Roy Edwards's excellent translation offers English-speaking readers a wonderful opportunity to experience one of the Netherlands's great literary classics.

Eduard Douwes Dekker (March 2, 1820 - February 19, 1887), better known by his pen name Multatuli, was a Dutch writer famous for his satirical novel, Max Havelaar (1860) in which he denounced the abuses of colonialism in the former Dutch colony of Indonesia.
Although the literary merit of Multatuli's work was widely criticized, he received an unexpected and most valuable ally in Carel Vosmaer.
But Multatuli deserves remembrance, if only on account of the unequalled effect his writing had in rousing Dutch literature from the intellectual and moral lethargy of the time.

 Max Havelaar - 'Multatuli'
Multatuli daringly creates a character who is both a visionary dreamer and yet also a bureaucrat (and a very efficient one).
Ultimately, Multatuli doesn't believe fiction is enough, believing that it can't contain all that he is trying to convey, the true magnitude of what colonialism has wrought.
Multatuli almost undermines his undertaking with the comic tour de force that is the section ascribed to Batavus Droogstoppel, raising expectations of a certain kind of novel that are then not met.

 Eduard Douwes Dekker
Multatuli's (pseudonym of Eduard Douwes Dekker) MAX HAVELAAR, a polemical story of a young civil servant in the corrupt colonial administration, was the most successful prose work of the 19th century in the Netherlands.
At the end, the implied author Multatuli breaks through the frame of narration, dismisses his narrators as his own despicable creatures, and explicitly addresses himself to the reader in order to plead his cause.
I fear, that God perhaps really begins when we say the word with which Multatuli finishes his Prayer of an Unbeliever: 'Oh God, there is no God.' That God of the clergymen, he is for me as dead as a doornail.

In 1838 Multatuli went to the Dutch East Indies, where he held a number of government posts until 1856, when he resigned because, as assistant commissioner of Lebak, Java, he was not supported by the colonial government in his attempts to protect the Javanese from their own chiefs.

 Max Havelaar, Multatuli - Timeline Index
The novel, written by a former official of the Dutch East Indian Civil Service under the pen name Multatuli, exposed the massive corruption and cruelty rife in the Dutch colony of Java.
Max Havelaar is an undeniably autobiographical novel; like his hero, Multatuli--the pseudonym for Eduard Douwes Dekker--was an Assistant Resident of Lebak in Java; like Havelaar in the novel, he resigned his position when his accusations of corruption and abuse were disregarded by higher authorities, resulting in years of poverty for both author and fictional hero.
The schoolmate is Havelaar, and the manuscript relates his experiences as an idealistic and generous young civil servant who tries to protect the poor and bring justice to the powerless.
