21 Nov Treasure Trove

The Malay Archipelago, the classic account of Victorian naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace’s travels through Southeast Asia, first appeared in 1869 and has been much loved by generations of readers ever since. Despite numerous modern reprints with appreciative introductions, this edition is the first – long overdue – fully annotated version to appear in English. The treasure trove of new information it contains illuminates The Malay Archipelago like never before and is the definitive edition (NUS Press).
