The Adventures of Robert Drury: During Fifteen Years Captivity on the Island of Madagascar is a memoir written by Robert Drury, a sailor who was shipwrecked on the island of Madagascar in the late 17th century. Drury was captured by the natives, and he spent the next fifteen years of his life living among them. During this time, he learned their language, customs, and way of life, and he became deeply immersed in their culture.Drury's memoir is a fascinating account of his experiences on the island. He describes the daily life of the Malagasy people, their religion, their social hierarchy, and their customs. He also recounts his own experiences, including his capture, his attempts to escape, and his eventual acceptance of his new life.The Adventures of Robert Drury is an important historical document, as it provides a rare glimpse into the life of the Malagasy people during this period. It is also a gripping tale of survival and adaptation, as Drury learns to navigate a new and unfamiliar world. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Madagascar, as well as for those who enjoy adventure and exploration narratives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
