| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "East of Siam" by Harry Alverson Franck is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. It follows the author’s rambling journeys across French Indo-China—Cochinchina, Cambodia, Annam, Tonkin, and Laos—combining vivid on-the-ground scenes with sharp observations of colonial rule, local customs, and landscapes, including the great ruins of Angkor. The focus is on people, places, and practices encountered along the way rather than a plotted story.<br/><br/>The opening of the book carries the narrator from a Japanese freighter out of Hong Kong to Saigon, where shipboard portraits culminate in a quiet Buddhist funeral at sea and the city’s heat, French habits, siesta rhythm, and Cholon’s Chinese commerce come into view. He witnesses an intense Chetty Hindu festival with self‑mortification, visits the state opium factory that supplies a government monopoly, and runs afoul of fussy passport bureaucracy before taking river steamers toward Phnom Penh with a mixed cast of travelers. In the Cambodian capital he sketches monks in saffron, the royal compound’s treasures, and a court dance offered to visiting officers, setting colonial administration against local pageantry. Crossing the Tonlé Sap to Angkor, he arrives by moonlight to torch‑lit temple dancing, then begins daytime forays through jungle‑wrapped Khmer ruins, interweaving clear descriptions of the sites with a brief history of the empire’s rise, decline, and abandonment to the forest.
