Inhalt:

This book is the rare chronicle of a new and unexplored world. The vast sweep of Southeast Asia at the end of the 1850's awaits you. Henri Mouhot was an artist, naturalist and explorer who dedicated the last four years of his life to exploring the interior of what was then Siam. This is the story of his travels as he studied the people, the languages, the abundant flora and fauna of 1858, 1859 and 1860. This is the momentous story of one of the great journeys of discovery. First published in two volumes, both have been restored, re-edited and published together in this volume; rescued from oblivion so that we may learn about a world that is lost in time. This is the story of the short work and fitting end of a great man. While on safari in the jungles of Laos, Mr. Mouhot was attacked by jungle fever and died after twenty-two days' illness. His energetic mind, full of the task he had to perform, remained clear to the end, and his last words are contained here. You have got to get this book!
