The Javanese travels of Purwalelana : a nobleman's account of his journeys across the island of Java, 1860-1875 /Translated, with an introduction and notes by Judith E. Bosnak and Frans X. Koot. "Nobleman Radáen Mas Arya Candranegara V (1837-85), alias Purwalelana, journeyed across his homeland Java during the rapidly changing times of the nineteenth century. He travelled around 5000 kilometres by horse and carriage between 1860 and 1875. His eye-witness account The Travels of Purwalelana gives an inside view of Java, at the time part of the Dutch East Indies. Candranegara explains habits and traditions of both the Javanese and the Dutch, he describes the architecture of cities and temples and he marvels about the beautiful tropical landscape as well as about the latest technological inventions like steam trains, horse-drawn trams and gas lanterns. This Hakluyt publication, illustrated with contemporaneous images, presents the rare perspective of an Indonesian traveller living in colonial times. The author grew up as a member of a Javanese noble family in the hybrid world of the colonial upper class. He received a western-style education, but also learnt how to follow Javanese traditions and to be a good Muslim. In 1858 he was appointed to the high rank of Regent of Kudus by the colonial government. Candranegara wrote his book under the pseudonym Purwalelana, probably because he considered publishing to be an adventurous undertaking and possibly also because it gave him freedom to arrange the events in his own way. The Travels represent the first Javanese travelogue ever written and, as such, it broke with existing traditions. Candranegara used prose instead of poetry, wrote from a first person perspective rather than a third, and he told about present society rather than dwelling upon the common literary theme of kings in battle. The result is a lively story in which the traveller shares his experiences on the road. It provides its readers with a range of people and topics pivotal to developments in nineteenth century Java, a treasure trove for historians and cultural anthropologists alike"-- 2020. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 061.22HAKLUYT
