The book provides a vivid and detailed account of his experiences living among the indigenous tribes, many of whom were still practicing cannibalism at the time. Dupeyrat describes the challenges he faced in trying to convert the Papuan people to Christianity, including language barriers, cultural differences, and the constant threat of violence. He also recounts his interactions with various tribal leaders and the ways in which he tried to adapt to their customs and traditions. Throughout the book, Dupeyrat offers insights into the daily lives of the Papuan people, including their hunting and gathering practices, their religious beliefs, and their social structures. He also reflects on the impact of colonialism and the ways in which it had already begun to change the region by the time he arrived. Overall, Savage Papua provides a fascinating glimpse into a little-known corner of the world and the efforts of one man to bridge the gap between two vastly different cultures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
