Your query about S H Mintardja (deceased) and Asmaraman S Kho Ping Hoo.Ī) Mintardja's books are considered 'collectors item' especially the one that I treasured most ' Nagasasra Sabuk Inten' (16 books) written about Demak's rule. The first book by Mintardja that was considered great reading started with 'Pelangi Di Langit Singosari' 55 books), continued with 'Bara Di Atas Singgahsana' (55 books), followed by 'Sepasang Ular Naga Di satu Sarang' 60 books), 'Panasnya Bunga Mekar' (35 books)and ends with 'Hijaunya Lembah Hijaunya Lereng Pergunungan' (104 books). The above collection are considered part history/part fiction originating from a small district of Tumapel to Singosari, Kediri and the fall of Singosari. The second great creation of Mintardja was 'Api Di Bukit Menoreh'. This collection spans over a few years with 400 series (books) completed. It is about the fall of Demak rulers and the rising of the new Mataram (Sultan Agung) ruling into power. Mintardja's also wrote a few isolated books (but comprised of a few series) such as Suramnya Bayang Bayang continued with Sayap Sayap Yang Terkembang (50 books), Arya Manggada (compiled into 4 books), Istana Yang Suram, Bunga Di batu Karang, Sisa Sisa Laskar Pajang and many more. Kho Ping Hoo's books are more suitable for teenagers. He has written stories both based on silat Jawa (famous-Badai Laut Selatan) and from the old China (famous-Bu Kek Sian Su).
