520 "Nobleman Radèn Mas Arya Candranegara V (1837-85), alias
Purwalelana, journeyed across his homeland Java during the
rapidly changing times of the nineteenth century. He
travelled around 5000 kilometres by horse and carriage
between 1860 and 1875. His eye-witness account The Travels
of Purwalelana gives an inside view of Java, at the time
part of the Dutch East Indies. Candranegara explains
habits and traditions of both the Javanese and the Dutch,
he describes the architecture of cities and temples and he
marvels about the beautiful tropical landscape as well as
about the latest technological inventions like steam
trains, horse-drawn trams and gas lanterns. This Hakluyt
publication, illustrated with contemporaneous images,
presents the rare perspective of an Indonesian traveller
living in colonial times. The author grew up as a member
of a Javanese noble family in the hybrid world of the
colonial upper class. He received a western-style
education, but also learnt how to follow Javanese
traditions and to be a good Muslim. In 1858 he was
appointed to the high rank of Regent of Kudus by the
colonial government. Candranegara wrote his book under the
pseudonym Purwalelana, probably because he considered
publishing to be an adventurous undertaking and possibly
also because it gave him freedom to arrange the events in
his own way. The Travels represent the first Javanese
travelogue ever written and, as such, it broke with
existing traditions. Candranegara used prose instead of
poetry, wrote from a first person perspective rather than
a third, and he told about present society rather than
dwelling upon the common literary theme of kings in
battle. The result is a lively story in which the
traveller shares his experiences on the road. It provides
its readers with a range of people and topics pivotal to
developments in nineteenth century Java, a treasure trove
for historians and cultural anthropologists alike"--
