*Stil verlangen – Maleise gedichten in 80 pantuns* is a beautifully produced bilingual collection celebrating the timeless beauty of the traditional Malay pantun. Featuring eighty carefully selected poems presented in both the original Malay and Dutch translation, this volume offers readers a unique opportunity to experience one of Southeast Asia's most cherished poetic traditions while appreciating the nuances of both languages. The pantun is a classical verse form renowned for its elegance, rhythm and subtle symbolism. Through themes of love, longing, nature, wisdom and everyday life, these short poems convey profound emotions and observations in only a few carefully chosen lines. The translations by Albert Hagenaars and Siti Wahyuningsih preserve both the meaning and poetic character of the originals, while Hetty Ansing's illustrations add an extra visual dimension to the reading experience. Compiled by Simone Berger, this edition serves as both an introduction to Malay literary heritage and an attractive collection for poetry enthusiasts. Combining cultural richness, literary craftsmanship and thoughtful design, *Stil verlangen* is an inspiring volume for readers interested in world poetry, bilingual literature and the enduring tradition of the Malay pantun.
