| 520 | _a"My Friends the Savages" by Captain G. B. Cerruti is an ethnographic account written in the early 20th century. The book documents the author’s experiences and observations as a settler in the Perak region of the Malay Peninsula and aims to shed light on the lifestyle and customs of the indigenous Sakai people. With a focus on cultural contrasts, the narrative provides insights into the primitive simplicity of the Sakais and the corrupting influence of the surrounding civilized societies. The opening of the work introduces readers to the author's longing to escape the "civilized" world for a simpler life among the Sakais, whom he views as both fascinating and free from the corruptions of modern society. After arriving in the Peninsula, Cerruti reflects on his decision to explore the interior jungles, motivated by a desire for adventure and the hope of finding gold. He details his initial preparations, the challenges he faces traveling through the jungle, including dealing with treachery among his hired escorts, and his first encounters with the Sakais. Through these early experiences, Cerruti sets the stage for a deep exploration of the cultural and existential contrasts between "civilized" life and that of the indigenous peoples, framing the Sakais as a symbol of untainted humanity.
