The Duke of Puddledock by Nigel Barley
In part, this is a biography of Stamford Raffles. The author travels, literally and imaginatively, through the lands that Raffles knew. It is also the experiences of a contemporary traveller as his journey takes him to Malacca, Java, Bali and Singapore.
Nigel Barley was born south of London in 1947. After taking a degree in modern languages at Cambridge, he gained a doctorate in anthropology at Oxford. Barley originally trained as an anthropologist and worked in West Africa, spending time with the Dowayo people of North Cameroon. He survived to move to the Ethnography Department of the British Museum and it was in this connection that he first travelled to Southeast Asia. After forays into Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan and Burma, Barley settled on Indonesia as his principal research interest and has worked on both the history and contemporary culture of that area. After escaping from the museum, he is now a writer and broadcaster and divides his time between London and Indonesia.
