Synopsis

Xántus and/és Borneo chronicles the extraordinary life of Hungarian adventurer, collector and explorer János Xántus, whose legacy is both captivating and complex. This bilingual Hungarian-English volume offers four of Xántus' writings from his expedition to Sarawak, Borneo in 1870, available in English for the first time. It brings his expedition to life through archival records, personal accounts, and writings, inviting readers to reflect on the ambitions and contradictions of a man whose passion shaped the world around him.
