Produktbeschreibung

"The Sun in His Eyes" by Renée Belloni is more than just a journalist's incredible story - it also sheds light on what others who didn't make it went through.

It's a story inspired by true events, set against the backdrop of wartime in the former Dutch East Indies, now Indonesia and Japan. A history we shouldn't forget. He also had a ton of fun, falling in love, doing awesome jobs, and going on incredible jungle expeditions in former Dutch New Guinea, now West Papua, an Indonesian province.

Claude Belloni made his own life story, with his own hands, using his diary, journals, and over a hundred photos, but piecing everything together was a monumental task.

Author: "There's already too much stress in the world. Yet, here I am, unveiling my new book. This book is dedicated to peace in the world, starting from within. The more peace we have within ourselves, the more peace there will be in our troubled world."

Renée's book was first published in Dutch. Now she has rewritten it in English, opening up the world of the Eurasians in colonial Indonesia to an International readership. One might note that she has chosen to write it in what can only be called colloquial English, a refreshing change from dour scholastic expression.

What was colonial life in the Dutch (Netherlands) East Indies for these mixed-race families caught between two worlds? Up to now, the reality is that very little has been recorded of what their lives had been like, despite the fact that Eurasian families had lived throughout the Dutch East Indies for hundreds of years. It is the mission of Belloni to encourage the descendants of families such as hers and others to chronicle these lives before they are lost. The Sun in His Eyes is the result of her creative effort to do this.

Quotes Ebook review:

"Congrats to Renée Belloni for your book. I'm up to chapter 3.2 and have to say that, despite the sadness and sheer senselessness of war, your father's optimism and compassion for humanity shines through. It's movie worthy Renée ..in my humble opinion! You have a very engaging writing style. Your love and respect for your family shines through in every word. A true work of passion. I'm looking forward to the next chapters."

"Wow, This book was so intense, it made me pause. Some words that just pop into my head: Respect, cool, admiration, historiography."

"I have no doubt that Renée's adventurous father would be immensely proud of the way in which his daughter has paid him homage and opened their family's rich history to Australian and International eyes."

His narrative will open both doors and hearts. If you enjoy reading biographies, history, adventures, or true stories of WWII, this book is a must-read.

About the author

It is with a warm heart that I dedicate this book about my father, entitled The sun in his eyes, to my readers. I sincerely hope that you can sympathise with all his extraordinary adventures.

The life story of my father Claude (Boy) Belloni and family is my debut as a writer. With all my heart I trust that I have managed to convey my father's feelings in this book.

Not all the stories of the past have been told and not all the memories have been collected yet. And yet these stories connect cultures and can touch people's hearts. That is why I hope with all my heart that this story will open doors and hearts. That is why I encourage everyone to write down their stories with memories and experiences of family and friends from the past, so that they are well preserved. And not forgotten, not taken to the grave.

Furthermore, I like to occupy myself with my spiritual life, among other things as a Reiki Master. I like to set the bar high, courses, lectures, books, bring me even closer to myself. You can find out more about Claude on the website: www.claudebelloni.com.
