a novel inspired by a true story (English Edition) Synopsis: Alif had never set foot outside of West Sumatra. He passed his childhood days searching for fallen durian fruit in the jungle, playing soccer on rice paddies, and swimming in the blue waters of Lake Maninjau. His mother wants him to attend an Islamic boarding school, a pesantren, while he dreams of public high school. Halfheartedly, he follows his mother’s wishes. He finds himself on a grueling three-day bus ride from Sumatra to Madani Pesantren (MP) in a remote village on Java. On his first day at MP, Alif is captivated by the powerful phrase man jadda wajada. He who gives his all will surely succeed. United by punishment, he quickly becomes friends with five boys from across the archipelago, and together they become known as the Fellowship of the Manara. Beneath the mosque’s minaret, the boys gaze at the clouds on the horizon, seeing in them their individual dreams of far-away lands, like America and Europe. Where would these dreams take them? They didn’t know. What they did know was: never underestimate dreams, no matter how high they may be. God truly is The Listener. The Land of 5 Towers is the first book in a trilogy written by A. Fuadi—a former TEMPO & VOA reporter, photography buff, and a social entrepreneur. He went to George Washington University and Royal Holloway, University of London for his masters. A portion of the royalties from the trilogy are intended to build Komunitas Menara, a volunteer-based social organization which aims to provide free schools, libraries, clinics and soup kitchens for the less fortunate.

About the Author
From Journalist to Novelist, from Sumatra to America Ahmad Fuadi was born in Bayur, a small village on the edge of Lake Maninjau, West Sumatra, in 1972 . Fuadi traveled to Java to fulfill his mother’s request that he attend a religious school. At Pondok Modern Gontor (Gontor Modern Pesantren), he met kiai and ustad who were blessed with sincerity to teach knowledge of this world and the next. Gontor also taught him the simple yet powerful mantra, man jadda wajada—he who gives his all will surely succeed. Upon graduating with a degree in International Relations from Padjadjaran University, he became a journalist for Tempo magazine. His first class in journalism was done in reporting assignments under the guidance of senior Tempo journalists. In 1999, he received a Fulbright scholarship to take his master’s degree at the School of Media and Public Affairs, George Washington University, USA. Venturing to Washington, D.C. together with Yayi, his wife—also a Tempo journalist—was a childhood dream come true. While studying, they were also Tempo correspondents and reporters for Voice of America (VOA). They reported on historical news, such as the 9-11 tragedy, straight from the Pentagon, White House, and Capitol Hill. In 2004, another world window opened when he received the Chevening Award scholarship to study documentary films at Royal Holloway, University of London. As a scholarship hunter, Fuadi is always enthusiastic to continue his education and find more scholarships. He has had opportunities to live and study in Canada, Singapore, USA, and the UK. This photography buff has served as the Director of Communication for The Nature Conservancy, an international conservation NGO. Currently, Fuadi is busy writing, being a speaker and motivator locally and internationally, and building a social foundation to aid in the education of the underprivileged—Komunitas Menara. Negeri 5 Menara (The Land of Five Towers) has won several awards, including the 2010 Khatulistiwa Literary Award (Long List) and the 2010 Favorite Fiction Writer and Book from the Indonesian Readers Awards.

Fantastic Read!
By Lauren
As a US reader with interests in Indonesia, The Land of Five Towers was a very eye-opening and fascinating read. The inner-battle the main character Alif has between wanting to please Amak (his mother) by attending a Muslim boarding school (pesantren), yet still dreaming about going to public high school is a story US readers and American youth can definitely relate to and draw relationships to their own life experiences. Reading the translation has been so fascinating for me because Indonesian writing style very artistic and not as sequentially fluid US fiction. I found that the artistic quality of the book is what makes the translation so beautiful and a memorable read for American readers like myself.

Indonesian Islamic education
By Mr. Gelek
The book is the fictionalized account of the author's middle- and high school days in a Muslim boarding school in East Java. Lots of insight into modern "pesantren" education -- the deracination of ethnic groups from around Indonesia, the creation of a new post-national cosmopolitan identity. There's a particular focus on Minangkabau culture. Read this alongside Muhammad Radjab's "Village Childhood" (in Rodgers' Telling Lives, Telling History: Autobiography and Historical Imagination in Modern Indonesia). And great to see Gramedia making its books available on Amazon.

Mesmerizing!
By Denny
The Land of five towers by A. Fuadi is about friendship and growing up. The book explains the place so well you feel like you are in the story. The start will make you read more, the middle makes you wish you were them, and the end you might make you wish you had friends like his. Making decisions by yourself can get you far, but helping one another can get you further. I love how the kids learn three languages and cultures. This is a must read. Can't wait for the full trilogy! (Linus Abhyasa Wicaksana, 11 year-old)
