Summary
"Europeans in South-East Asia sought refuge from their alien and exotic surroundings within the confines of their own settlement. This anthology, documenting experiences as recorded from the early 1800s up to the Second World War, depicts the lives of these people and the transplanted European community in which they lived, worked, enjoyed themselves, and survived until they could at last return to their homeland."--Provided by the publisher.
