"Indienfahrt" by Waldemar Bonsels is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The book explores the experiences of the author as he arrives in Malabar, India, where he observes the culture, people, and natural landscape of the region. It follows the author and his interactions with locals, such as Rameni, the Hindu who rents him a house, and his servants Panja and Pascha, as they navigate the challenges and beauty of life in a foreign land. The opening of the book introduces the author’s arrival in the coastal town of Cannanore and his first impressions of the scenery and local architecture. He engages in discussions with Rameni about renting a house and reflects on his initial feelings of isolation as he settles in. The narrative delves into the author’s observations about his surroundings and the interplay with his new companions, capturing the rich atmosphere filled with exotic wildlife and the complexities of cultural exchanges. An intriguing facet of the opening is the depiction of his relationship with his servants, highlighting both cultural differences and budding friendships, which sets the tone for further explorations in the narrative.
