Raden Mandasia Si Pencuri Daging Sapi

Sungu Lembu lives for revenge; Raden Mandasia spends his days thinking of how to save the kingdom of Gilingwesi. They meet at Nyai Manggis's gambling house in Kelapa, and Sungu Lembu sees that the prince, with his odd habit of stealing beef, could open the way to his own plans. So he agrees to travel with him to the kingdom of Gerbang Agung. On the way they fight pirates at sea, help rescue a bearer of revelation, meet an insufferable cook and a rich man of astonishing appetite, pass a village of dyers where colours may not be named, race death across a desert and wear the skins of eunuchs, all to reach Princess Tabassum, whose beauty is said to shatter mirrors, before a great war breaks out.
