Der deutsche Zoologe und Forschungsreisende Emil Selenka (1842 - 1902) schrieb dieses wundervolle Werk anhand von Vortragen, die er nach seiner zweijahrigen Ostasien - Reise gehalten hat. Es entfuhrt den Leser in das Indien am Ende des 19. Jahrhundert. Vorliegendes Buch ist ein Nachdruck der langst vergriffenen Originalausgabe von 1890, illustriert mit zahlreichen Reisebildern.
