About This Book

An observational travel account of the author's return journey from Java to Europe, combining travel narrative, geological and volcanic description, and practical route and station details. He describes weakened health prompting departure, highland retreats and the crater-top view, contrasts between cool uplands and hot lowlands, reflections on volcanic power and human fate, interruptions by political and meteorological news, and stops at ports with notes on schedules, costs, and local conditions, interweaving scientific observations with personal impressions and practical advice for travelers.
