Erster Theil: Borneo" by Heinrich Breitenstein is a travel memoir written in the late 19th century. This work recounts the author's experiences and observations as a military doctor stationed in Indonesia, particularly focusing on the island of Borneo. The memoir primarily delves into the diverse cultures, traditions, and medical challenges encountered during his lengthy stay in the region.  The opening of the memoir sets the stage for Breitenstein's journey, detailing his initial departure from Surabaya towards Borneo. He describes the vibrant mix of ethnicities within Bandjermasing, the capital of the southeastern part of Borneo, and introduces the Dajaker people, with whom he has lived for three years. Breitenstein touches upon the harsh realities of tropical living, including the omnipresence of mosquitoes and other health concerns, while providing insights into the local flora and fauna. This initial segment of the book establishes Breitenstein's perspective as both an observer of the local customs and a medical practitioner navigating the complexities of tropical medicine.
