| Summary | "Onder de koppensnellers op Borneo" by Jan Oost is a historical adventure narrative likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around two Dutch adventurers, Jan Verveer and Kees Smit, who traverse the dense jungles of Borneo in search of diamonds, facing both natural dangers and encounters with indigenous tribes, particularly the notorious Sibaoe-dajaks known for their violent reputation. The book highlights themes of exploration, friendship, and the clash between Western adventurers and the indigenous cultures of the region. The opening of the narrative sets up the geographical and cultural backdrop of Borneo, detailing its mysterious and largely untouched wilderness. It introduces Jan Verveer, who is gravely ill in Pontianak, and Kees Smit, his old friend and fellow adventurer, who visits him. As Jan expresses his regrets over unfulfilled dreams of returning home, he shares crucial information about a stash of diamonds he once hid, which was found in treacherous lands populated by hostile tribes. Kees, intrigued by the idea of retrieving these diamonds, begins to contemplate the dangerous journey ahead, setting the stage for their adventure into the heart of Borneo's wilderness and the perils that lie within.
