The Tapu of Banderah is a novel written by Louis Becke and published in 1901. The story is set in the Pacific Islands and follows the life of a young man named Jack Thorpe, who is shipwrecked on the island of Banderah. Jack is taken in by the local tribe and learns about their customs and beliefs, including the concept of tapu, a sacred taboo that must not be violated. As Jack becomes more involved with the tribe, he falls in love with a young woman named Tiva, but their relationship is threatened by the tribe's strict adherence to tapu. The novel explores themes of cultural clash and forbidden love, as well as the impact of colonialism on indigenous communities. Becke's vivid descriptions of the Pacific Islands and their people provide a captivating backdrop for this tale of adventure, romance, and cultural conflict.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
