Eliza Rumaha Scidmore was born October 14, 1856 in Madison,
Wisconsin, United States of America and died November 3, 1928 in
Geneva, Switzerland. She was a journalist and a traveller and spent
long periods in in Alaska, Japan, China, Java and India. In this
book about Java written in 1912, Scidmore, who clearly loved the
subject is very enthusiastic about the country and the traditions
that have made Java such a unique place. It still remains a little
known country nowadays but by reading Eliza Scidmore, we are
transported to the beauty of the tropical gardens, the volcanoes,
the magnificent buddhist temple of Borobudur, the impact of the
conquest by Islam, its unique culture and so many places that I bet
you did not even know they existed.
