Abstract
As one might expect from a Hakluyt Society publication, this is a sumptuous book that gives us an English translation and edition of four remarkable journeys across the length and breadth of Java in the mid-19th century. Originally published as Lampah-lampahipun Radèn Mas Arya Purwalelana (The travels of Purwalelana) in 1865–66 (reprinted 1877–80, the text used here), the present edition’s exceedingly well chosen full color plates and seventy-three black-and-white images, many by renowned 19thand early 20th-century professional photographers of the Indies,1 enable us to journey with the author through Java in 1860–75 (in fact 1857–79, dating that will be discussed below) at a time when Javanese society was undergoing profound changes as it entered the modern world.
正如人们从Hakluyt学会的出版物中所期望的那样,这是一本丰富的书,为我们提供了19世纪中期横跨爪哇的四次非凡旅程的英文翻译和版本。最初出版于1865年至1866年,名为Lampah-lampahipun rad n Mas Arya Purwalelana (Purwalelana的旅行)(此处使用的文本是1877年至1880年的重印版),本版本精心挑选的全彩色图片和73张黑白照片,其中许多是19世纪和20世纪初印度著名的专业摄影师拍摄的,我使我们能够与作者一起在1860年至1875年(实际上是1857年至1879年)在爪哇旅行。(将在下面讨论),当时爪哇社会正经历着深刻的变化,进入了现代世界。
