Where the Strange Trails Go Down: Sulu, Borneo, Celebes, Bali, Java, Sumatra, Straits Settlements, Malay States, Siam, Cambodia, Annam, Cochin-ChinaDigiCat, 15 Sep 2022 - 198 halaman "Where the Strange Trails Go Down" is the travel memoirs of journalist and travel writer E. Alexander Powell, about his trip to Asia in 1920. Powell's party travelled through Siam, Cambodia, Annam, Cochin-China, the Malay States, the Straits Settlements, Sumatra, Java, Bali, Celebes, Borneo and Sulu. He intended that the book should be a light-hearted, care-free, casual narrative to excite readers who he refers to as, 'those who are condemned by circumstance to the prosaic existence of the office, the factory, and the home.' Nevertheless the book still manages to also give a vivid picture of the epic struggle between civilization and savagery which is in progress in all these lands. |
