Summary: "21 Jahre in Indien. Zweiter Theil: Java" by Heinrich Breitenstein is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. This work serves as the second part of Breitenstein's account of his experiences as a military doctor in the Dutch East Indies, specifically focusing on Java. The text delves into his observations, experiences, and interactions with the local culture, highlighting both the challenges and beauty of living in this region during a time of colonial influence. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for Breitenstein’s journey, beginning with his embarkation as the chief medical officer for the Dutch-Indies Army from Rotterdam. It captures his mixed feelings about leaving Europe and his first encounters with the sea, detailing the difficulties of seasickness, the diverse passenger roster, and the vivid experiences aboard the ship. As he travels through various ports, he reflects on the sights and sounds, hints at the multicultural interactions, and hints at the upcoming challenges he will face on the island of Java. Breitenstein’s narrative style offers insight into his thoughts and feelings, establishing a personal connection with the reader while painting a rich picture of life during that era.
