Summary "Aan de kust van Malabar" by Émile Deschamps is a descriptive account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the cultural and geographical aspects of the Malabar Coast in southwestern India, detailing its landscapes, towns, and the intricacies of local societies, showcasing both European colonial presence and the indigenous communities. The opening of the text paints a vivid picture of the coastal town of Mahé, describing its serene environment, picturesque views, and the lives of its residents, including fishermen and various castes. The author elaborates on the flora and fauna, the layout of the town, and the daily activities of its inhabitants, offering insights into the rich cultural tapestry of the region. The narrative also touches upon historical themes, noting the influences of Portuguese, French, and English colonial powers in shaping the landscape and society, and characterizes Mahé as a unique blend of native traditions and colonial structures.
