English Summary/英文概要： Sultans, Spices, and Tsunamis: The Incredible Story of the World’s Largest Archipelago
Indonesia is by far the largest nation in Southeast Asia and has the fourth largest population in the world after the United States. Indonesian history and culture are especially relevant today as the Island nation is an emerging power in the region with a dynamic new leader. It is a land of incredible diversity and unending paradoxes that has a long and rich history stretching back a thousand years and more.
Indonesia is the fabled "Spice Islands" of every school child’s dreams—one of the most colorful and fascinating countries in history. These are the islands that Europeans set out on countless voyages of discovery to find and later fought bitterly over in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries. This was the land that Christopher Columbus sought and Magellan actually reached and explored. One tiny Indonesian island was even exchanged for the island of Manhattan in 1667!
This fascinating history book tells the story of Indonesia as a narrative of kings, traders, missionaries, soldiers and revolutionaries, featuring stormy sea crossings, fiery volcanoes, and the occasional tiger. It recounts the colorful visits of foreign travelers who have passed through these shores for many centuries—from Chinese Buddhist pilgrims and Dutch adventurers to English sea captains and American movie stars. For readers who want an entertaining introduction to Asia’s most fascinating country, this is delightful reading.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 苏丹、香料和海啸:世界上最大的群岛的不可思议的故事。
印度尼西亚是东南亚最大的国家，人口仅次于美国，居世界第四。印度尼西亚的历史和文化在今天尤其重要，因为这个岛国是该地区的一个新兴大国，有一位充满活力的新领导人。这是一块有着令人难以置信的多样性和无穷无尽的悖论的土地，有着悠久而丰富的历史，可以追溯到一千多年前。
印度尼西亚是每个学生梦想中的“香料岛”——历史上最丰富多彩、最迷人的国家之一。这些岛屿是欧洲人在无数次航行中发现的，后来在15世纪、16世纪和17世纪进行了艰苦的斗争。这就是哥伦布寻找的大陆，而麦哲伦确实到达并探索了它。印度尼西亚的一个小岛甚至在1667年被换成了曼哈顿岛!
这本引人入胜的历史书以国王、商人、传教士、士兵和革命者的叙事方式讲述了印尼的故事，以海上风暴、火山喷发和偶尔出现的老虎为特色。它讲述了几个世纪以来，外国游客从中国的佛教朝圣者、荷兰的冒险家到英国的船长和美国的电影明星，在这些海岸游历的丰富多彩的旅程。对于那些想要了解这个亚洲最迷人国家有趣介绍的读者来说，这是一本令人愉快的读物。（WYL）

"蒂姆•汉尼根将印尼描绘成一个充满戏剧性的地方，它的过去充满了欧洲贸易战、麦哲伦和克里斯托弗•哥伦布等探险家以及移民潮。他带领读者经历了苏加诺(1945-1967)的统治时期，以及其他一些虽不那么腐败，但同样声名显赫的人物，带着谨慎的乐观与现任总统佐科•维多多，也就是众所周知的佐科威和解。”《前言》杂志
"The subtitle says it all: ’Sultans, Spices, and Tsunamis: The Incredible Story of Southeast Asia’s Largest Nation.’ Indonesia expert Hannigan offers a highly readable and entertaining narrative that highlights the many personalities who have shaped the nation — and our perception of it. English pirates, Indian mystics, Chinese pilgrims, American surfers, Dutch spice barons join a cavalcade of Javanese royals, Balinese dancers and more." —Lonely Planet

"Tim Hannigan presents Indonesia as a place of high drama, with a past marked by European trade battles, explorers like Magellan and Christopher Columbus, and waves of immigrants. He guides the reader through the reign of Sukarno (1945-1967) and others of lesser, but no less corruptible, reputation, to settle with guarded optimism with the current president, Joko Widodo, popularly known as Jokowi." —Foreword Magazine
