| Summary | "The Gardens of the Sun" by F. W. Burbidge is a naturalist's journal written in the late 19th century. The work documents the author's extensive travels in Borneo and the Sulu Archipelago, capturing the natural beauty and biological diversity of these regions. The narrative likely encompasses studies of the flora and fauna, offering insights into the tropical landscape and the inhabitants' lifestyles. At the start of the book, the author sets out on a voyage, detailing the experience of traveling by ship to various ports, such as Port Said and Singapore. He vividly describes the changing scenery and diverse climates encountered during the journey, alongside observations of local life and culture. Burbidge emphasizes the beauty of the tropical landscapes, the variety of vegetation, and the primordial qualities of nature in Malaysia, contrasting them with experiences of civilization. This opening portion establishes not only the author’s keen eye for natural detail but also a sense of adventure and exploration that will likely weave through the chapters ahead.
