Abstract

The historical reality in Indonesian novels with a New Historicism perspective focuses on history and literary issues. The Indonesian novel, Larasati, by Pramoedya Ananta Toer represents the historical events of the Indonesian struggle (period 1945-1949) in different colors with historical texts in general. Therefore, this study aims to describe in depth the objective-imaginative reality of the nation's struggle in the novel The research method used was qualitative interpretive with a parallel reading between literary texts on events that represent the history of the nation's struggle. The results show, in general, that historical reality during the war for independence, namely the struggle to continue to uphold the independence. The novel illustrates the situation of the Indonesian revolutionary upheaval after an uncertain proclamation due to the absence of stability of power. On the one hand, de jure Indonesia is an independent nation, but on the other side Dutch power still persists. Finally, the results of this study may have implications on the growing sense of nationalism as a manifestation of the strengthening of the nation's character through creating prime qualified human resources.
