''Boeah Rindoe'' (Perfected Spelling: ''Buah Rindu'', Indonesian for ''Fruits of Longing'') is a 1941 poetry collection by Amir Hamzah. The poems date to Amir's first years in Java, between 1928 and 1935. According to Anthony Johns of Australia National University, the poems are arranged chronologically, as indicated by Amir's increasing maturity as a writer while developing the poems. The collection includes twenty-three titled poems and two untitled pieces. Ten of the poems had previously been published, including Amir's first published works (both from 1932), "Mabuk..." and "Sunyi". In ''Buah Rindu'', Amir shows an affinity for using traditional Malay poetic forms such as the quatrain, but unlike the highly fixed traditional forms, he mixes the rhyming patterns. The text is dominated by terms related to love and searching, and according to Dutch scholar of Indonesian literature A. Teeuw the collection is united by a theme of longing. Johns states that the imagery in ''Buah Rindu'' is dependent on traditional Malay literature, and that Amir's terminology is heavily influenced by classical Malay poetry. The author's use of language is also notably coloured by Javanese terms and ideas, and another source of influence appears to be Indian literature, with references to Hindu gods and goddesses. ''Buah Rindu'' was published in its entirety in the June 1941 edition of ''Poedjangga Baroe'', a magazine Amir had helped establish in 1933. It was later republished as a stand-alone book by Poestaka Rakjat in Jakarta. ==Background== Amir Hamzah (1911–46) was a Dutch-educated Malay writer of noble descent. He was well-oriented in traditional Malay literature, with favourites including historical texts such as ''Hikayat Hang Tuah'', ''Syair Siti Zubaidah'', and ''Hikayat Panca Tanderan''. Amir likewise read works of Arabic, Persian, and Hindu literature. As a result, he had an extensive vocabulary. Although ''Buah Rindu'' was published in 1941, four years after Amir's debut collection ''Nyanyi Sunyi'', general consensus is that its poems are less recent. The poems in ''Buah Rindu'' date to the period between 1928 and 1935, Amir's first years in Java; the collection gives the two years, as well the location of writing as Jakarta–Solo (Surakarta)–Jakarta. The dates of the poems themselves are unclear. None of Amir's works are dated, meaning a definite date is impossible to establish. There are several hypotheses. Nh. Dini, in her biography of Amir, suggests that some, such as "Tinggallah", were written not long after he boarded the ''Plancus'', on his way to Java. Anthony Johns of Australia National University suggests that the poems are arranged chronologically, pointing to the increasing maturity Amir shows as a writer while the poems develop. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Buah Rindu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
