Van de Ganges naar den Amazonenstroom by Ernst Weber
"Van de Ganges naar den Amazonenstroom" by Ernst Weber is a travelogue written in the late 19th century. The narrative explores diverse regions and cultures, primarily focusing on a journey that traverses from India along the Ganges River to the Amazon River, capturing the essence of the landscapes, people, and experiences encountered along the way. The opening of the narrative introduces a vivid scene where the protagonist awakens in Agra, India, feeling
the oppressive heat and the nuisance of mosquito bites. As he prepares for a hunting trip with the assistance of local guides and attendants, he mixes observations of the local culture, flora, and fauna with reflections on social hierarchies among the Indianness, as well as descriptions of the majestic architecture, particularly the Taj Mahal. The narrative sets a tone of curiosity and engagement with the natural world and the human experience, inviting readers to accompany the author as he navigates through richly diverse regions and encounters different cultures.
