First published in 1929, this book sets out to systematically describe the non-Muslim peoples of Sabah. Although today's readers may balk at instances of cultural chauvinism that were typical of the author's era and society, the book nonetheless remains an invaluable source of information on various aspects of Sabahan society ranging from traditional warfare, headhunting, and jungle and river craft to popular folklore and music. This unusual text is enhanced by more than 75 photographs and illustrations.

Paperback. Zustand: Used. In the illustrious annals of travel literature, few tomes are as delightfully bewildering as Owen Rutter?s "The Pagans of North Borneo." Published in 1985 by the esteemed Oxford University Press?where scholarly pretensions meet the earnest desire to explore the uncharted?this captivating piece promises an expedition into the land of the exotic. Or, at the very least, a jaunt through the pages of a book that?s seen better days (and perhaps better readers). Imagine, if you will, a time when explorers were still armed with nothing more than a pen, a notepad, and an unquenchable thirst for adventure?often leading them to utterly bewildering encounters. Rutter, with his keen eye and a sense of irony sharper than a Bornean machete, invites readers to witness the inhabitants of North Borneo in all their cultural peculiarities and wild rituals, which may or may not involve questionable food choices and a great deal of shouting. Now, this isn?t just a picturesque travelogue filled with quaint observations and sunny prose. Oh no! Rutter?s narrative is more akin to a curious blend of anthropological musings and accident-prone escapades, where he stumbles upon a tribe mid-ceremony, likely wondering if they?d prefer tea or coffee?neither of which he has, of course. The charm of this book lies in its delightful contradictions; the author aims for enlightenment but often lands comically in the absurd. What can one expect from "The Pagans of North Borneo"? Here?s a brief rundown of the treasures hidden within its slightly tattered pages: Comically awkward cultural observations that make you question your own travel plans. Vivid descriptions of rituals that will have you reconsidering your next dinner party theme. Occasional musings on the weather that could rival any local forecast. Footnotes that seem to have been added for the sole purpose of confusing the reader. A healthy dose of Rutter?s dry wit that may or may not leave you chuckling in public. As you leaf through this book, you might find yourself caught in the peculiar limbo of wanting to learn about North Borneo while simultaneously grappling with the oddities of Rutter?s prose. Who knew anthropology could be so cheeky? Rutter?s observations hang somewhere between heartfelt sincerity and eyebrow-raising incredulity, creating a space where you can?t quite tell if he?s admiring the pagans or simply bemused by their ways. Condition: This copy has been lovingly thumbed through by many curious minds and is currently classified as ?used? but could also easily be termed ?well-loved? or ?on the verge of becoming a modern artefact.? Expect dog-eared pages, the occasional coffee stain, and a spine that has seen more action than your average desk jockey. It?s a piece of history in its own right, much like the people it seeks to describe. Ultimately, "The Pagans of North Borneo" serves as a testament to the human urge to explore, document, and occasionally misinterpret the lives of others. So if you?re in the mood for a historical jaunt that may not adhere to modern sensibilities but instead revels in charming confusion, this book is exactly what you didn?t know you needed. Available now, as always, at Crappy Old Books?where every title is a story waiting to be rediscovered, preferably without any serious anthropological commitments. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 2254
