Roma, Società Geografica Italiana, 1909, 8vo stralcio con copertina posticcia muta, pp. 511/539 con una carta fotolitografica a colori, di grande formato, più volte ripiegata. - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo, completo in se, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perché ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “extract” or “excerpt” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

1866SB-22-1215London, Tinsley Brothers, 1866. Vollständiges Werk in 2 Bänden. Braune Original-Halblederbände mit goldgeprägten Rückentiteln und goldener Ornamentprägung sowie mit großen Lederecken. Es handelt sich um ehemalige Bibliotheksbände ohne äußere Kennzeichnung (vordere Vorsätze mit Aufklebern und Fragmenten einer Leihkarte). Autobiographisches Werk des Briten Charles Johnson Brooke (1829 - 1917), der von 1868 an als so genannter "Weißer Raja" über das Königreich Sawarak auf Borneo herrschte, das von Brookes Onkel, dem Armeeangehörigen und Abenteurer James Brooke (1803 - 1868), begründet worden war. James Brookes war 1840 dem Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin II. von Brunei bei der Befriedung eines Aufstandes der indigenen Bidayuh behilflich gewesen und hatte als Dank vom Sultan als Lehen ein riesiges Gebiet zur persönlichen Verwaltung erhalten. Später gelang es Brooke, seinen Herrschaftsbereich von der Oberhoheit des Sultans zu lösen und eine eigenständige Dynastie, die Weißen Rajas, zu begründen, die über drei Generationen über Sawarak herrschen sollte. Charles Brooke trat 1868 die Nachfolge seines kinderlosen Onkels an. Als dritter und letzter Herrscher der Brooke-Dynastie folgte ihm 1917 als dritter Weißer Raja sein Sohn Charles Vyner Brooke. Dieser wurde während des Zweiten Weltkriegs von der japanischen Armee vertrieben; er kehrte zwar 1945 nach Sawarak zurück, allerdings nur, um kurz darauf die Herrschaft über das Gebiet an die Briten zu übergeben. Später wurde Sarawak Teil der Föderation Malaysia. Das hier vorliegende Werk des zweiten Weißen Raja Charles Brooke gewährt faszinierende Einblicke in die vom Urwald geprägte Region Sawarak mit ihrer indigenen Bevölkerung. Mit 7 ganzseitigen Holzschnitt-Illustrationen und 3 Kartenskizzen. Die Faltkarte ist im vorliegenden Exemplar nicht enthalten.
