Neither easy nor difficult to read. Produced by a Project Gutenberg volunteer working with digital material generously made available by the Internet Archive "In Court and Kampong" by Hugh Charles Clifford is a collection of tales and sketches about native life in the Malay Peninsula, likely written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the lives of various characters, including the Europeans who settled in the region and the indigenous tribes, particularly the Malays, Sâkai, and Semang. The author aims to present an empathetic view of the cultural and social dynamics within this little-known part of the world, emphasizing the contrast between the unspoiled native existence and the encroaching influences of colonial civilization. The opening of "In Court and Kampong" sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the Malay Peninsula, describing both its external landscapes and the complex societies within. It establishes the author's intent to provide an authentic depiction of life among the natives, illustrating the struggles, traditions, and the profound changes wrought by European influence. The preface introduces the myriad stories and experiences, some drawn from Clifford's personal observations, that aim to convey the richness and challenges of the region's cultural fabric. As the initial chapters unfold, readers are promised a vivid, firsthand look at the Malay way of life in its natural state, before modern influences alter its very essence.
