The story of Yoseph Malo’s life has impressed many pople through the years. His extraordinary accomplishments and the anecdotes about his wisdom and diplomacy have made him a mythological fugure of his time (1881-1960) throughout the Western part of Sumba.

Yoseph Malo did not put his biography in writing. He, instead,left the colorful chapters of his life story in the monuments and villages that he build, in his verses and ritual speeches, and in the often re-told stories of his life, that he handed down to the generations after him.

This book is primarily a family record for Yoseph Malo’s descendants to know, for example, that the magnificient megalithical tombstone by-the-road in Rara, is not like any others, and that Yoseph Malo was an extraordinary person with an extraordinary life story.
