From Golden Gate to Golden Sun: A Record of Travel, Sport, and Observation in Siam and Malaya - Hardback

""From Golden Gate to Golden Sun"" is a memoir written by Hermann Norden about his travels and experiences in Siam (now Thailand) and Malaya (now Malaysia) in the early 20th century. The book is divided into three parts: travel, sport, and observation. In the first part, Norden describes his journey from San Francisco to Siam, including his experiences in Japan and China. He provides detailed descriptions of the landscapes, people, and culture he encounters along the way. The second part of the book focuses on Norden's passion for hunting and fishing in Siam and Malaya. He writes about his adventures in the jungle and his encounters with various animals, including tigers and elephants. The final part of the book is dedicated to Norden's observations of the people and culture of Siam and Malaya. He writes about the customs, traditions, and beliefs of the local people, as well as the impact of colonialism on the region. Overall, ""From Golden Gate to Golden Sun"" is a fascinating account of a Westerner's experiences in Southeast Asia during a time of great change and transition. Norden's vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes provide a unique perspective on the region's history and culture.This is a new release of the original 1923 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
