Vollständiges Werk in 2 Bänden. Braune Original-Halblederbände mit goldgeprägten Rückentiteln und goldener Ornamentprägung sowie mit großen Lederecken. Es handelt sich um ehemalige Bibliotheksbände ohne äußere Kennzeichnung (vordere Vorsätze mit Aufklebern und Fragmenten einer Leihkarte). Autobiographisches Werk des Briten Charles Johnson Brooke (1829 - 1917), der von 1868 an als so genannter "Weißer Raja" über das Königreich Sawarak auf Borneo herrschte, das von Brookes Onkel, dem Armeeangehörigen und Abenteurer James Brooke (1803 - 1868), begründet worden war. James Brookes war 1840 dem Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin II. von Brunei bei der Befriedung eines Aufstandes der indigenen Bidayuh behilflich gewesen und hatte als Dank vom Sultan als Lehen ein riesiges Gebiet zur persönlichen Verwaltung erhalten. Später gelang es Brooke, seinen Herrschaftsbereich von der Oberhoheit des Sultans zu lösen und eine eigenständige Dynastie, die Weißen Rajas, zu begründen, die über drei Generationen über Sawarak herrschen sollte. Charles Brooke trat 1868 die Nachfolge seines kinderlosen Onkels an. Als dritter und letzter Herrscher der Brooke-Dynastie folgte ihm 1917 als dritter Weißer Raja sein Sohn Charles Vyner Brooke. Dieser wurde während des Zweiten Weltkriegs von der japanischen Armee vertrieben; er kehrte zwar 1945 nach Sawarak zurück, allerdings nur, um kurz darauf die Herrschaft über das Gebiet an die Briten zu übergeben. Später wurde Sarawak Teil der Föderation Malaysia. Das hier vorliegende Werk des zweiten Weißen Raja Charles Brooke gewährt faszinierende Einblicke in die vom Urwald geprägte Region Sawarak mit ihrer indigenen Bevölkerung. Mit 7 ganzseitigen Holzschnitt-Illustrationen und 3 Kartenskizzen. Die Faltkarte ist im vorliegenden Exemplar nicht enthalten. Die robusten Einbände etwas berieben; Ecken etwas beschabt und bestoßen; die ersten Blatt des zweiten Bandes mit leichtem Eckknick. Sonst gute Exemplare in massivem Halbleder; Seiten sauber und fleckenfrei; Titelblätter alt gestempelt; In toto gutes, solides Exemplar dieser faszinierenden, historisch aufschlußreichen Landeskunde.

In 1839, Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin II (18271852) assigned his uncle Pangeran Muda Hashim the task of restoring order but his inability to do so caused him to request the aid of British sailor James Brooke. Brooke's success in quelling the revolt was rewarded with antimony, property and the governorship of Sarawak, which at that time consisted only of a small area centred on Kuching.The Brooke family, later called the White Rajahs, set about expanding the territory they had been ceded. With expansion came the need for efficient governance and thus, beginning in 1841, Sarawak was separated into the first of its administrative divisions with currency, the Sarawak dollar, beginning circulation in 1858. By 1912, a total of five divisions had been established in Sarawak, each headed by a Resident. The Brooke family generally practised a paternalistic form of government with minimal bureaucracy, but were pressured to establish some form of legal framework. Since they were unfamiliar with local customs, the Brooke government created an advisory Supreme Council, mostly consisting of Malay chiefs, to provide guidance. This council is the oldest state legislative assembly in Malaysia, with the first General Council meeting taking place at Bintulu in 1867. Charles Anthoni Brooke {the author] succeeded his uncle in 1868 as the next White Rajah. Under his rule, Sarawak gained Limbang and the Baram and Trusan valleys from the Sultan of Brunei, later becoming a protectorate in 1888 with Britain handling foreign affairs but the Brooke government retaining administrative powers. Domestically, Brooke established the Sarawak Museum the oldest museum in Borneo in 1891 and brokered a peace in Marudi by ending intertribal wars there. Economic development continued, with oil wells drilling from 1910 and the Brooke Dockyard opening two years later. Anthony Brooke, who would become Rajah Muda (heir apparent) in 1939, was born in 1912. The White Rajah by Nicholas Montsarrat and one of George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman novels are based on the life of James Brooke.
