Inhalt:

Adventures in New Guinea is a thrilling travelogue written by James Chalmers, a Scottish missionary who spent several years exploring the remote regions of Papua New Guinea in the late 19th century. The book provides a vivid account of Chalmers' adventures in this exotic land, which was then largely uncharted and unknown to the outside world.Chalmers describes his encounters with the indigenous people of New Guinea, their customs and traditions, and the challenges he faced in establishing a Christian mission in this hostile environment. He also provides a detailed account of the natural beauty of the region, including its lush rainforests, rugged mountains, and pristine waterways.Throughout the book, Chalmers recounts his many adventures, including his dramatic escape from a cannibal tribe, his perilous journeys up treacherous rivers, and his encounters with dangerous wildlife. He also provides insights into the political and social dynamics of the region, including the impact of European colonialism on the indigenous people.Adventures in New Guinea is a fascinating and engaging read that provides a unique window into the world of Papua New Guinea in the late 19th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of exploration, anthropology, or Christian missionary work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
