| Summary | "In het Oerwoud en bij de Kannibalen op de Nieuwe Hebriden" by Felix Speiser is a travel account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles Speiser's observations during his journey through the New Hebrides, capturing his impressions of the islands, their indigenous inhabitants, and the nature surrounding them. The narrative introduces various characters including local planters, residents, and the natives he encounters, providing readers with a vivid look into both colonial life and indigenous cultures. The opening of this work describes the author's arrival in Nouméa, New Caledonia, and his subsequent journey to Port Vila in the New Hebrides. Speiser vividly depicts his first encounters with the local setting, detailing the tropical landscape, the atmosphere of the colonial town, and the inhabitants' lifestyle. He reflects on the contrasts between colonial settlers and the islanders, as well as the challenges of navigating the islands’ unique geography. His observations set the tone for the rest of the book, as he plans to explore the islands further and engage with both the land and its people. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
