LUPUS The Series

The Legend Stories from Hilman Hariwijaya

Jika kamu ingin tahu bagaimana keceriaan remaja generasi 80-an, jaman di mana handphone dan gadget android belum ada, bacalah dongeng-dongeng Lupus karya Hilma Hariwijaya. Novel Lupus pertama kali diterbitkan pada tahun 1986, judulnya “tangkaplah daku, kau kujitak”. Judul tersebut merupakan sebuah pelesetan dari film “kejarlah daku kau kutangkap”, namun ceritanya tidak berhubungan sama sekali.

Sebelum jadi novel, lupus adalah serial yang dimuat di Majalah Remaja Hai. Novel pertama tersebut cukup sukses di pasaran sehingga terbitlah novel-novel lupus lainnya. Salah satu hal yang membuat sukses, karena cerita-cerita Lupus sangat mengena di hati para remaja. Apa yang diceritakan, sangat mungkin sekali banyak yang mirip dengan pengalaman pribadi para pembacanya.

Pada masa remaja Lupus memiliki teman-teman seperti Boim, Gusur, Aji, Anto, Gito, Fifi Alone. Sedangkan pada masa kecilnya, Lupus juga memiliki teman-teman seperti Pepno, Iko-Iko, Uwi, Happy serta memiliki seorang adik yang bernama Lulu. Ternyata tokoh asli bernama Gusur, Boim, Aji, Anto, Gito, Fifi Alone, dll itu memang ada di sirkel asli pertemanan Hilman Lupus di dunia nyata.

Menerjemahkan dongeng-dongeng Lupus ke dalam bahasa Inggris gak mudah. Banyak istilah dan idioms khas remaja Indonesia yang berbeda dengan budaya dan kebiasaan yang berlaku di negara-negara berbahasa Inggris.
