Also & Perhaps

By Frank Athelstane Swettenham

Book Overview

Also And Perhaps (1912) is a collection of short stories written by Frank Athelstane Swettenham. The stories are set in colonial Malaya, where Swettenham served as a British colonial administrator. The book consists of ten stories that explore the lives of the British expatriates and the local Malay population. The stories are filled with vivid descriptions of the lush tropical landscape, the customs and traditions of the Malay people, and the challenges of living in a foreign land. The characters in the stories include British colonial officials, plantation owners, traders, and local Malay villagers. The stories cover a range of themes, including love, betrayal, loyalty, and the clash of cultures. Swettenham's writing style is elegant and evocative, and he captures the essence of colonial Malaya with great skill. Also And Perhaps is a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era and a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of Southeast Asia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
