"Four Young Explorers; Or, Sight-Seeing in the Tropics" by Oliver Optic is a fictional adventure novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a group of adventurous young boys—primarily Louis Belgrave and his companions—who explore various tropical locations, including Borneo and its surrounding rivers. As they venture away from the routine sightseeing of cities and monuments, they engage in hunting, fishing, and discovering the local flora and fauna. The opening of the book introduces the four young explorers as they leave the cruise ship, the Guardian-Mother, to spend three weeks in the wilderness of Borneo. Accompanied by a native guide named Achang, they travel up the Sarawak River in a steam-launch named the Blanchita, excited to experience a more primitive lifestyle filled with adventure. They quickly take to hunting and fishing, growing weary of their previous travel experiences in grand cities, indicating a desire for hands-on exploration of the natural world. The narrative sets the stage for the explorers' interactions with local wildlife, the land, and the unique cultures they will encounter throughout their adventurous journey.
