Résumé
In "The History of Sumatra, " William Marsden delivers a meticulously researched account of the island's geography, inhabitants, and colonial encounters, framed within the broader context of 18th-century European exploration and colonialism. Marsden's prose is both scholarly and accessible, reflecting the Enlightenment ideals of empirical observation and cultural inquiry. His work offers valuable insights into the island's diverse cultures, languages, and trade practices, presenting a nuanced portrait of Sumatra during a time of significant geopolitical change in Southeast Asia.
