The Achehnese V1 (1906)

The Achehnese V1 is a book written by Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje and published in 1906. The book is a detailed study of the Achehnese people, who lived in the northern part of Sumatra, Indonesia. The author, who was a Dutch scholar and expert on Islam, spent several years living among the Achehnese people and learning about their culture, religion, and way of life. The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume focusing on the history and geography of the Achehnese region, as well as the customs and traditions of the people who lived there. The author also provides an in-depth analysis of the Achehnese language, literature, and religion, and how these aspects of their culture have evolved over time. The second volume of the book focuses on the political and military history of the Achehnese people, particularly their long-standing resistance to Dutch colonial rule. The author provides a detailed account of the Achehnese War, which lasted from 1873 to 1904, and the various strategies and tactics used by both sides during the conflict. Overall, The Achehnese V1 is a comprehensive and scholarly work that provides a valuable insight into the history and culture of one of Indonesia's most fascinating and complex ethnic groups. It remains an important reference for scholars and students of Indonesian history and culture, as well as those interested in the history of colonialism and resistance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
