Description
A thriving fishing settlement centuries before Parameswara arrived in AD 1400, Malacca became one of the most important trade centre in the world - a place "crammed so full of all kinds of goods that they almost flowed into the river itself". Drawing on early chronicles and travellers' tales, and illustrated throughout with contemporary prints, paintings, and maps, this book introduces the reader to the golden age of Malacca and to the Portuguese, Dutch, and British influences that helped shape the modern city.
