Seitseteist peatükki reisikirjeldusi on suurepärased. Lihtsalt väga huvitav on kogu aeg.
Kui mina sellest raamatust lavastuse peaksin tegema, siis oleks naiseks olemine kõrvaline teema. Maailm läbi naise silmade näib siin tavaline, pinnuks silmas on hoopis kolonialistlik mõtteviis, 1890ndate kõige ta
