Against All Odds – The Strange Destiny of a Balinese Prince by Idanna Pucci (Illustrated by A.A. Made Djelantik) This delicately rendered collection of stories by accomplished writer Idanna Pucci takes its inspiration from a series a watercolours by the protagonist, Dr. A.A. Made Djelantik. Tales of daring and adventure, stories of his ancestors, his childhood in the royal palace of Karangasem East Bali and his work in far-flung foreign territories, are all coloured with the magic touch of genuine altruism. This book is about a prince born into one of Bali’s eight ancient kingdoms – which allowed him the privilege of education not available to others at that time – and his amazing life experiences. It is told in 193 pages in both English and Indonesian and illustrated by the prince himself. “Against All Odds” is inspirational. These marvelous tales and paintings carry messages of unconditional honesty and loyalty that empower the human spirit in dangerous times, and demonstrate the healing quality of art.
