First edition. - Joachim Freiherr von Brenner-Felsach (1859-1927), österreichischer Asien-Reisender, durchquerte als erster die unabhängigen Batak-Länder auf Nord-Sumatra - ein Unternehmen, das allgemein für undurchführbar galt. .. Den Schwerpunkt seines Reisewerks machen die ethnographischen Schilderungen aus; seine Angaben über die Karo-Batak wurden als wertvoll herausgestellt. (Henze I p.350). On 18 March 1887 Brenner was travelling, together with H. von Mechel, from Deli to Lake Toba, on till then unknown roads. With a local boat he crossed the lake, BRENNER contined: and reached the sacred island of Samosir, which was venerated for centuries as the Batak ancestral homeland and kept hidden from foreign eyes. He left this 'Eldorado der See- und Menschenräuber' and reached, on the south shore of the lake, Lagubóti on 21 April 1887. - Early account of Lake Toba and the Batak of North Sumatra. - A very nice copy of a scarce work.
