| Summary |
"Quer Durch Borneo" by Anton Willem Nieuwenhuis is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book documents the author's extensive travels and research in Borneo between 1894 and 1900, focusing on the geography, inhabitants, and cultural practices of various indigenous tribes, especially the Dajak. Nieuwenhuis aims to provide a comprehensive ethnographic account, combining his firsthand observations with the research outcomes from his expeditions. The opening of the text introduces Nieuwenhuis's early expeditions and the significant knowledge he gained about the Dajak people during his travels through unknown regions of Borneo. It details the planning of a second expedition after the initial research efforts and outlines the meticulous preparations required for the journey, including the organization of his team and equipment. The narrative expresses the author’s commitment to collecting scientific data while also portraying the challenges and dangers of traversing the uncharted territories of Borneo, setting the stage for a thorough exploration of both nature and culture in the ensuing chapters.
