Project Gutenberg 2009-01-08 Public domain in the USA. 200 Keyser, Arthur Louis 1856 1924 From Jungle to Java The Trivial Impressions of a Short Excursion to Netherlands India Produced by a Project Gutenberg volunteer working with digital material generously made available by the Internet Archive "From Jungle to Java" by Arthur Louis Keyser is a travel narrative likely written in the early 20th century. The book presents the reflections and experiences of Mr. X, an officer stationed in the Malay Peninsula, as he embarks on a journey from his jungle home to the vibrant island of Java in the Dutch East Indies. It explores themes of cultural juxtaposition and the contrast between the subdued life in the jungle and the bustling European colonial society in Java. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Mr. X, who is feeling unwell and discontented in his idyllic but isolated community in the jungle. Concerned for his health, his peers suggest he take a trip to Java, a place they perceive as similar yet enticingly different from their own surroundings. As preparations commence, Mr. X’s anticipation grows, and we witness his eccentric companions and their humorous interactions during the planning. The opening sets the stage for a blend of introspection and observation, as Mr. X prepares to depart into a world that promises both adventure and cultural dissonance, prompting a quest for discovery and understanding during his travels.
