This book is the rare chronicle of a new and unexplored world. The
vast sweep of Southeast Asia at the end of the 1850's awaits you.
Henri Mouhot was an artist, naturalist and explorer who dedicated
the last four years of his life to exploring the interior of what
was then Siam. This is the story of his travels as he studied the
people, the languages, the abundant flora and fauna of 1858, 1859
and 1860. This is the momentous story of one of the great journeys
of discovery. First published in two volumes, both have been
restored, re-edited and published together in this volume; rescued
from oblivion so that we may learn about a world that is lost in
time. This is the story of the short work and fitting end of a
great man. While on safari in the jungles of Laos, Mr. Mouhot was
attacked by jungle fever and died after twenty-two days' illness.
His energetic mind, full of the task he had to perform, remained
clear to the end, and his last words are contained here. You have
got to get this book!
