Madagascar: Or Robert Drury�������s Journal During Fifteen Years������� Captivity On That Island is a book written by Robert Drury and published in 1890. The book is a first-hand account of Drury's experiences during his fifteen-year captivity on the island of Madagascar. Drury was a sailor who was shipwrecked on the island in 1703 and was taken captive by the local people. He was kept as a slave for fifteen years, during which time he learned the language and customs of the Malagasy people.The book is divided into two parts. The first part is a description of Madagascar, its geography, climate, and the customs of its people. The second part is Drury's personal journal, in which he recounts his experiences as a captive. He describes his living conditions, the work he was forced to do, and the relationships he formed with his captors.The book provides a unique perspective on life in Madagascar during the early 18th century, as well as insights into the lives of the Malagasy people. It is also a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Madagascar: Or Robert Drury�������s Journal During Fifteen Years������� Captivity On That Island is a fascinating read for anyone interested in history, anthropology, or adventure stories.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
