Victor Ido (8 February 1869, Surabaya - 20 May 1948, The Hague) is the main alias of the Indo (Eurasian) Dutch language writer and journalist Hans van de Wall. Born in Surabaya, Dutch East Indies (colonial Indonesia) from a Dutch father and Indo (Eurasian) mother. Ido was the Art Editor of P.A.Daum's Bataviaasch Nieuwsblad and later the Chief Editor of newspaper ''Batavia's Handelsblad'' as well as an accomplished musician (organist). As a literary author his work shows a keen eye for the discrimination and socio-economic realities of middle and lower class Indo-Europeans of the late 19th century. As an innovative and successful playwright he incorporated many indigenous i.e. Indonesian cultural elements into a western theatrical format.〔Nieuwenhuys, Rob ''Oost-Indische Spiegel'' (Publisher: Amsterdam, 1978) P.298-301〕 ==Early life== His mothers Indo (Eurasian) family belonged to the lower social layer of European society, where constant lack of money, outright poverty and a continues struggle for existence characterized life in the late 19th century. An atmosphere and world he would display in his literary work. Due to an inheritance he and his brother had the opportunity to go to the Netherlands and study the arts (music). After his stay in the Netherlands he seemed detached from his old maternal world, as can be seen in his novel ''Don Juan'' (1897), which is partly set in the high society of Batavia. After a while though his writing re-focuses on his roots.〔Nieuwenhuys, Rob ''Oost-Indische Spiegel'' (Publisher: Amsterdam, 1978) P.298-301〕 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「Victor Ido」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
