Hardback. Condición: New. What did nineteenth-century travellers actually see when they journeyed through the Malay Archipelago-and what did they miss? The travelogues penned by British and Dutch explorers reached a wide readership; they have shaped how we imagine this region with their accounts of island kingdoms, volcanic landscapes, and maritime crossroads. Other voices-Javanese nobles venturing beyond their courts, Eurasian tourists navigating between worlds, French administrators, Scandinavian adventurers, Italian naturalists-remained in the shadows. The Malay Archipelago through Travellers' Eyes recovers these overlooked perspectives alongside fresh readings of celebrated figures like James Brooke, the "White Rajah" of Sarawak, and the intrepid Isabella Bird. Here we encounter Purwalelana, whose groundbreaking Javanese travelogue in modern prose abandoned centuries of poetic tradition; Kartini, whose letters became a means of traversing boundaries she could not physically cross; and Dé-Lilah, whose Eurasian heritage gave her writing an unsettling double vision. The naturalist Junghuhn scaling Java's volcanoes, Raffles burnishing British reputation against Dutch rivals, Italian explorers charting New Guinea's coasts-each constructed not only the lands they described but also themselves. Travel writing has often claimed to offer transparent windows onto foreign worlds. This collection reveals it as something far more interesting: a literature of encounter where imperial ambition, personal identity, and genuine curiosity intertwine. For anyone captivated by the arts of travel and observation, these essays open new ways of reading a genre we thought we knew.…

Pub Year 2020, See images for condition. About the book >.>.> The Javanese Travels of Purwalelana is an eye-witness account by Nobleman Radèn Mas Arya Candranegara V, also known as Purwalelana, detailing his extensive journeys across Java during the transformative period of the nineteenth century. Covering approximately 5000 kilometres between 1860 and 1875, this unique travelogue provides insight into the cultural and social dynamics of Java, at the time a part of the Dutch East Indies. Through his observations, Candranegara explores the habits and traditions of both the Javanese and the Dutch, vividly describing the architecture of cities and temples. His narrative also reflects his admiration for Java's stunning tropical landscapes and the technological advancements of the time, including steam trains, horse-drawn trams, and gas lanterns. The publication, enhanced by contemporaneous illustrations, offers a rare perspective from an Indonesian traveller who experienced life at the intersection of Javanese customs and colonial influence.Candranegara, raised in a Javanese noble family and educated in Western traditions, was appointed Regent of Kudus in 1858 by the colonial government. He chose to write under the pseudonym Purwalelana, likely viewing the act of publishing as both adventurous and a means to narrate his experiences freely. The Travels of Purwalelana represents a significant departure from traditional travel literature, as Candranegara opts for prose over poetry and shares personal narratives rather than the typical focus on historical battles. The resulting work is a lively portrayal that encapsulates essential aspects of nineteenth-century Javanese society, making it a valuable resource for historians and cultural anthropologists. (MP).…
