Habibie and Ainun Book Review

by Mama Obiro

Title : Habibie & Ainun

Author : Bacharudin Jusuf Habibie

Publisher : PT THC Mandiri

Pages : 323

Habibie & Ainun tells the love story of the third president of Indonesia, Bacharuddin
Jusuf Habibie and his wife, Ainun Habibie. The story flows very smoothly with the climax being
his rising career as Research and Technology Minister to the Vice Presidency later to the
Presidency after The nation's reformation in 1998, followed by Ainun’s health deterioration
which caused her death.

The saddest part was when Ibu Ainun could not cope with multiple surgeries to remove
her ovarian cancer that had spread throughout her body. What would you call a pure real and
eternal love of a man? His description about love, which I could not imagine, is repeated in this
book quite often. The author says that their struggles for Ainun's recovery in several sanitariums
in Europe were romantic memories they shared.

There are 37 chapters in the book. The first to fifteenth chapters are very easy to follow.
However, the hardest part comprises of the chapters when Habibie explains the technicalities of
projects and achievements in his restless work during his attachment to the Development Cabinet
(in chapter 17 to 30). I had to read it several times to understand his thinking, but I found it very
interesting. I am quite impressed by Habibie's writing style. He positions himself as the subject
as if he was sitting in front of me while I was listening to him.

The book has now been translated into English, Chinese, Arabic, Dutch and German, and
shortly will be in Japanese. The moral of the story emphasises that it is very important to focus
on our life's goals, be passionate abour what we do, and love our country; and that support from
family and true eternal love is important. All in all, Habibie and Ainuns is more romantic than
Romeo and Juliet's love story. The tale of Romeo and Juliet was fictional, but Habibie and
Ainun's story is real.
