Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In Far New Guinea is a memoir written by Henry Newton, detailing his experiences working and observing the people of New Guinea in the early 20th century. The book is divided into two parts, with the first section focusing on Newton's work as a missionary and the second section covering his observations of the culture and customs of the indigenous people of New Guinea.In the first section, Newton describes his journey to New Guinea and his work establishing a mission station in the remote region of the Fly River. He writes about the challenges he faced in adapting to the local environment and the difficulties of communicating with the people, who spoke a variety of languages and dialects.The second section of the book provides a detailed account of the customs and traditions of the people of New Guinea, including their religious beliefs, social structure, and daily life. Newton also writes about the impact of colonialism on the region and the ways in which it has affected the indigenous population.Throughout the book, Newton provides vivid descriptions of the landscape and wildlife of New Guinea, as well as his interactions with the people he encountered. In Far New Guinea is a fascinating and insightful account of life in a remote and little-known part of the world, written by a man who was deeply committed to understanding and appreciating the culture of the people he lived among.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
