This anthology contains accounts of Java by 35 Western travellers, ranging from the 1330 impressions of Friar Odoric to Richard Critchfield's 1985 account of his return to Java. Through their eyes we see the island transformed from a distant realm of wealth and danger into an orderly and prosperous Dutch colony and then, in the twentieth century, into the centre-piece of the Indonesian nation.
