Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts an expedition by ship to the island of Borneo and its capital city of Bruni. Written in 1838 during a period of intense European exploration and exploitation, the author provides a vivid account of the island and its inhabitants at a time when Western influence was only just beginning to make itself felt in the region. The author combines their personal observations with historical and ethnographic research, to provide a unique snapshot of the Borneo of that time. The book gives an insight into the environmental wonders of Borneo and its people's way of life, religion, politics, and economy. Whether detailing a near-death experience with a native tribe or discussing the trade of opium, the author's keen eye for detail and penchant for storytelling shines through, creating a compelling account of a little-known part of the world.
