Rica-rica: Kisah manusia di sepanjang jalan kenangan Jilid 1
No full textTidak banyak perwira menengah di Indonesia menulis memoar, biografi, ataupun autobiografi. Entah mengapa, mungkin ada perasaan “kurang patut” dari sisi kepangkatan di militer. Sebaliknya dengan para jenderal. Kita bisa menemukan banyak buku kenang-kenangan tentang kehidupan mereka.Rica-rica: Kisah Anak Manusia di Sepanjang Jalan Kenangan ditulis oleh seorang letnan kolonel (AL). Cornelis Kowaas, sang Letkol yang sudah purnawirawan, mendedahkan sekumpulan kisah hidupnya. Serangkaian kenangan yang dia alami bersama: “Para pemuda-pemudi pemberani, para petualang, para musafir, serta siapa saja yang berada di sekeliling dan di sepanjang perjalanan hidup saya yang penuh suka dan duka.” Ditulis dengan bahasa yang renyah-menggugah seperti rica-rica, masakan khas Manado.Terbit dalam dua jilid, Rica-rica bukan hanya menyajikan cerita-cerita konyol seorang muda yang berdinas di Angkatan Laut, melainkan juga pergumulan manusia di “lautan kehidupan yang tak hanya tenang dan bening, tetapi juga penuh riak dan gelombang, keruh penuh badai dan arus deras”. Maka, bukan sekadar remembering the past yang bersifat personal, membaca buku ini kita bisa menemukan catatan-catatan penting tentang Angkatan Laut Indonesia, seperti pertempuran di Laut Arafuru, Maluku, pada 1962 yang menewaskan Komodor Yos Sudarso

Connecting the dots from Galileo to Alexa, human rights lawyer Susie Alegre charts the history and fragility of our most important human right: freedom of thought.Filled with shocking case-studies across politics, criminal justice, and everyday life, this ground-breaking book shows how our mental freedom is under threat like never before. Bold and radical, Alegre argues that only by recasting our human rights for the digital age can we safeguard our future
