The Norwegian explorer and ethnographer Carl Lumholtz (1851-1922)
wrote the influential ethnographic studies Among Cannibals and
Unknown Mexico (both reissued in this series) after his journeys
through Australia and Mexico respectively. In 1913, Lumholtz went
on his final expedition, which aimed to explore the large parts of
Borneo unknown to the rest of the world. Interested by tales of
head-hunting, he wanted to spend time with the indigenous people
and conduct research. Originally published in 1920, this two-volume
work is Lumholtz's account of his expedition. Many of the
illustrations in the work are from photographs taken by the author,
including pictures of members of the different tribes he stayed
with. Volume 2 begins with the expedition's stay with the Penihing
people. Throughout the volume, the folklore of the different tribes
is discussed, and a chapter on head-hunting and its purposes is
included.
