of those years and their relationship with the firm.

Kesty
Pringgoharjono talks about her book: THE CENTHINI STORY
The Centhini Story, or Serat Centhini as it is known in Java,
is one of the oldest surviving manuscripts in Indonesia. It is the
Indonesian story of life. The work encompasses art, music, divination,
erotic knowledge, religious speculation and mysticism and is written
in the form of suluk, or mystic poem. The Story tells the
tale of two princes and a princess who escaped the Giri Kingdom in
1635. At each stage of their journey, everyone they encounter introduces
ideas that give the reader a lively insight into the Javanese way
of life and their religion.
