KAILIPOST.COM,- POSO CITY- Not for long, novel ‘Dongeng Sang Barbie’ by Murthy F. Rone was launched (18/04/2018). The event that was held at Kedai Kita Coffee, Gebang Rejo Village, Poso Kota District was attended by the author. In fact he had time to recite the poetry. The poems he read were the poems selected in the Indonesian women’s competition entitled ‘The Betrayed Woman’.

Meanwhile, this novel that made Murthy tells the story of a woman named Barbie who is so obsessed with the world of fairy tales. Murthy said, the inspiration came, because almost every human being, especially women in the world must have dreamed of a life like a story in a fairy tale.

Being a princess living in a magnificent palace, having a loving family, meeting a handsome, wealthy, faithful prince, and reaching for the ending of a happy story forever. But according to Murthy, life is not a fairy tale that always ends happily.

Where there will always be a good-hearted Fairy who will turn you into the Princess. Or the power of a wand that can make all the suffering end. Life is not as simple as a story that became the sleeping ladies of human children. Life is a journey and happiness must be fought for.

This activity is also done with talkshow, question and answer session and symbolic handover of the novel Dongeng Sang Barbie to Yul Djamorante as Vocal Point Institute Sikola Mombine as well as representing Foundation of Panorama Alam Lestari Poso and Katu House. The guests who attended the event were writers and literacy activists. They hope this activity can inspire and motivate and in the future Murthy can again write Novel about Poso Women.

To note, Murthy has previously made two works of a collection of anthology teens short story, a book collection of poetry, 16 novels published self publishing, a novel published online and sold through google play by publisher Mizan. And the tale of the Barbie is the eighteenth book Murthy has written.

Murthy hopes of a novel in launching, Life is not a fairy tale that life is not a fairy tale. Therefore, you have to create your own life tale, not based on fantasy of others. Similarly write your own story that can inspire others.

“Because the happiness of a writer is when his writings can inspire, even motivate others, even if they do not know each other, have not even met, hopefully this novel can inspire us all to produce a better work,” said Murthy F. Rone.
