Ini adalah kedua kalinya saya terlibat dalam rangkaian acara UWRF. Jika tahun lalu saya meluncurkan buku saya, kali ini saya menjadi pembicara dalam peluncuran buku 'Erstwhile: Persekutuan Sang Waktu' karya Joseph Rio Jovian Haminoto. Buku yang diterbitkan oleh Penerbit Gramata ini telah dikurasi dalam seleksi ketat oleh panitia UWRF dan terpilih dengan suara terbanyak.

Saya telah mengikuti perjalanan buku ini sejak tahun 2015 sebelum buku saya terbit, dan jatuh cinta pada buku ini ketika saya membacanya. Kisahnya kurang lebih bercerita seputar Kerajaan Majapahit, percintaan tak lekang waktu, dan misteri-misteri hidup yang selama ini belum terpecahkan secara ilmiah. Sungguh menarik, terutama karena buku saya pun mengambil tema serupa.





This is my second time participating in the UWRF series of event. If last year I had the opportunity to launch my book, this time I became a speaker in a book launching of the 'Erstwhile: A Communion Of Time' by Joseph Rio Jovian Haminoto. The book was published by Gramata Publisher and was curated in a tight selection by the UWRF committee as the most voted book.

I've been following the book's journey since 2015 before my book was even released, and fell in love when I read it. The book tells the stories of Majapahit Empire, everlasting love, and life mysteries that have not been scientifically solved until today. It is very interesting, especially because my book has a similar theme.



The event involved some of Indonesia's public figures such as Wanda Hamidah (politician) as the synopsis reader and Ananda Sukarlan (master pianist) as the second speaker. We all gathered at The Elephant, Jl. Raya Sanggingan, Ubud, to start the launching at 3.30 p.m. Kadek Sonia, one of the festival committee, moderate the program and Metro TV covered it.

Rahayu.
