Synopsis

Experience five years of life on the Fiji islands through a missionary’s eyes, with vivid travel scenes and everyday moments abroad.

This is a first‑person travel memoir that follows a voyage from home shores to the Fiji archipelago and beyond. It offers a grounded look at daily routines, local cultures, and the challenges of mission work, all told with apparent honesty and attention to detail.

• Read about long journeys by sea, changing horizons, and the rhythms of life on and near the water.
• Get a sense of the people, places, and events that shaped early missionary history in the Fiji region.
• See daily life abroad through small, concrete moments—letters, letters received, meals, and gatherings.
• Discover the mix of travel notes, local observations, and the broader historical context of the era.

Ideal for readers curious about 19th‑century mission work, travel writing, and life in colonial Pacific settings.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Life in Feejee: Or, Five Years Among the Cannibals

Expecting to embark with my husband on a long voyage to the Pacific Ocean, I was induced to make record of passing scenes and events, for my own amusement, to beguile the many lonely hours which must be experienced when far away from home and friends, and to afford some little entertainment to my personal friends on my return. Subsequently, however, those whose opinions I respect at home, and the missionaries at the Feejee Islands, with whom I had the happiness of becoming acquainted, advised me to offer my journal to the public, as it contained many facts never before published in America, and some things which have not appeared in any land. This opinion is thus expressed by Rev. James Calvert, Wesleyan Missionary, in a communication addressed to Rev. C. W. Flanders, of Beverly, Mass.
