Turbans And Tails: Or Sketches In The Unromantic East (1888) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781165157495)

Turbans and Tails is a travelogue written by Alfred J. Bamford and published in 1888. The book is a collection of sketches and observations from Bamford's travels through the ""unromantic"" regions of the East, including India, Burma, and Malaya. The title of the book refers to the contrasting styles of dress worn by the British colonizers and the native populations. Bamford provides a detailed account of the customs, traditions, and daily life of the people he encounters, as well as his own experiences navigating the unfamiliar terrain. The book is notable for its candid and often humorous portrayal of colonial life, as well as its insights into the complex relationships between colonizers and the colonized. Overall, Turbans and Tails offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era of global exploration and cultural exchange.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
