Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Elephant And Seladang Hunting In The Federated Malay States is a book written by Theodore Rathbone Hubback and originally published in 1905. The book is a detailed account of the author's experiences hunting elephants and seladangs (a type of wild ox) in the Federated Malay States, which were a group of British colonies in Southeast Asia at the time. The book begins with a description of the author's arrival in the Malay States and his preparations for the hunt, including the acquisition of hunting gear and the hiring of local guides and trackers. The author then goes on to describe his various hunting expeditions, detailing the challenges and dangers of hunting such large and powerful animals in the dense jungle terrain. Throughout the book, the author provides vivid descriptions of the animals he encounters, as well as the landscapes and people of the Malay States. He also includes photographs and illustrations to accompany his writing. In addition to its value as a hunting memoir, Elephant And Seladang Hunting In The Federated Malay States provides a glimpse into the colonial era of Southeast Asia and the attitudes and values of Western hunters at the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Gebunden. Zustand: New.

Mit einer mehrfach gefalteten Karte in Rückdeckellasche, 2 Karten nach Skizzen und zahlreichen Tafeln. XIV,232 S. Orig.-Leinenband mit goldgeprätem Deckel- und Rückentitel. Der Autor reiht sich in die Gruppe der abenteuerlustigen und jagdeifrigen Männer ein, die um die Jahrhundertwende des 20sten Jahrhunderts das wilde und noch teils (von Weißen) unerforschte Alaska auf der Suche nach Abenteuer und Anerkennung bereisten. Theodore Rathbone Hubback (1872-1942), ein britischer Ingenieur und Autor, der viele Jahre seines Lebens als Bauingenieur und Plantagenbesitzer in Malaysien verbrachte, wandelte sich im Laufe seines Lebens vom Sportjäger zum Umweltschützer der frühen Stunde. Seine Reise nach Alaska scheint bei der Wandlung vom Saulus zum Paulus eine Rolle gespielt zu haben auch wenn die Fotos im Buch eine andere Sprache sprechen. Vielleicht wurde er auch von seinem Namensvetter, dem 26.amerikanische Präsident Roosevelt inspiriert, die Waffe an den Nagel zu hängen. Auch dieser verlieh in einigen Schriften trotz jagdlichen Eifers seiner Besorgnis über den Verlust von Arten und Lebensraum Ausdruck. Vehement setzte Hubback sich nach seiner Rückkehr in Malaysia für die Errichtung eines Schutzgebiets ein, dem King George V National Park, heute Taman Negara". Sogar eine Untergruppe des indischen Bison Gaur wurde nach Hubback genannt, nämlich das Bos Gaurus Hubbacki".- Rücken stark aufgehellt; Ecken etwas bestoßen; Vorsätze leimschattig; Seiten etwas gebräunt.…

Czech, Asia, p. 107: "A longtime resident of Malaya, Hubback recounts his numerous hunting trips after elephant and seladang. Traveling from Singapore to the Pertang River and Kenawan, he collected several seladang which he regarded with respect: 'I have indeed seen a big seladang in his first rush snap a creeper as thick as a strong man's wrist - a creeper with which twenty men could easily play tug-of-war.' Near the Pahang River he successfully stalked and bagged several elephants.".…
