In the novel, the protagonist, Max Havelaar, tries to battle against a corrupt government system in Java, which was then a Dutch colony. Although the novel addresses issues of a bygone era, it is still hailed widely for its literary styles and expression of thought. Translator Baron Alphonse Nahuÿs, compared Max Havelaar to Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin for its exposure of the ill-treatment of a subject people by men intent on economic gain. The book raised the awareness of Europeans at the time, that the wealth that they enjoyed was the result of suffering in other parts of the world. Indonesian novelist Pramoedya Ananta Toer argued that by triggering these educational reforms, Max Havelaar was in turn responsible for the nationalist movement that ended Dutch colonialism in Indonesia after 1945, and which was instrumental in the call for decolonization in Africa and elsewhere in the world. Thus, according to Pramoedya, Max Havelaar is "the book that killed colonialism". Note: The author, Dutch writer Eduard Douwes Dekker, used "Multatuli" as a pen name. The German poem was read by Michael Grunze of Heidelberg, Germany.

The book raised the awareness of Europeans at the time, that the wealth that they enjoyed was the result of suffering in other parts of the world. Indonesian novelist Pramoedya Ananta Toer argued that by triggering these educational reforms, Max Havelaar was in turn responsible for the nationalist movement that ended Dutch colonialism in Indonesia after 1945, and which was instrumental in the call for decolonization in Africa and elsewhere in the world. Thus, according to Pramoedya, Max Havelaar is "the book that killed colonialism". Note: The author, Dutch writer Eduard Douwes Dekker, used "Multatuli" as a pen name. The German poem was read by Michael Grunze of Heidelberg, Germany.
