Savage Papua: A Missionary Among Cannibals is a memoir written by Andre Dupeyrat, a French missionary who spent several years living among the tribes of Papua New Guinea in the early 20th century. The book provides a vivid and detailed account of Dupeyrat's experiences, from his arrival in Papua as a young man to his eventual departure after years of working to convert the local people to Christianity.Throughout the book, Dupeyrat describes the harsh and often brutal conditions of life in Papua, including the constant threat of violence from neighboring tribes and the dangers posed by disease and natural disasters. He also provides a fascinating insight into the customs and beliefs of the local people, including their practice of cannibalism, which he worked tirelessly to eradicate.Despite the many challenges he faced, Dupeyrat remained dedicated to his mission, and his unwavering faith and determination are evident throughout the book. Savage Papua: A Missionary Among Cannibals is a compelling and often harrowing account of one man's experiences in a remote and challenging part of the world, and a testament to the power of faith and perseverance in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
