The Golden Chersonese And The Way Thither is a travelogue written by Isabella L. Bird. The book is an account of her journey to the Malay Peninsula, also known as the Golden Chersonese, in the late 19th century. Bird, a renowned traveler and writer, describes her experiences and observations of the people, culture, and landscape of the region. She details her encounters with the indigenous people, including the Orang Asli, and their way of life. Bird also explores the natural beauty of the area, including its flora and fauna, and the challenges she faced as a female traveler in a male-dominated society. The book is a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era and offers a unique perspective on the history and culture of the Malay Peninsula.After a time I heard a cry of distress, and saw that the big one, whose name is Mahmoud, was frightening Eblis, the small one. Eblis ran away, but Mahmoud having got the rope in his hands, pulled it with a jerk each time Eblis got to the length of his tether, and beat him with the slack of it. I went as near to them as I dared, hoping to rescue the little creature, and he tried to come to me, but was always jerked back.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
