Thirty Years In Madagascar is a non-fiction book written by Thomas Trotter Matthews and first published in 1904. The book is an account of the author's experiences during his thirty-year stay in Madagascar, a large island country off the coast of Southeast Africa. Matthews, who was a British missionary, arrived in Madagascar in 1874 and spent most of his life there. The book is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of Madagascar, including its history, geography, people, culture, religion, and politics. Matthews describes the customs and traditions of the Malagasy people, their language, and their daily life. He also provides insights into the political and social conditions of the country during his time there, including the impact of French colonization and the resistance of the Malagasy people. Matthews' account is not limited to his work as a missionary but also includes his observations of the natural environment, such as the flora and fauna of the island, and his experiences with other Europeans living in Madagascar. Throughout the book, he shares his personal reflections on the challenges and rewards of living in a foreign land and the relationships he formed with the people he met. Overall, Thirty Years In Madagascar is a valuable historical document that provides a unique perspective on the country's past and the experiences of a British missionary living there during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
