| Summary | "Van Batavia naar Atjeh, dwars door Sumatra" by Fernand Abraham Bernard is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The text provides a detailed exploration of Sumatra, reflecting on the landscapes, historical contexts, and sociocultural elements of various locales the author encounters.
