Synopsis
Discover life at a mission-era crossroads in West Africa, with vivid scenes of daily work, danger, and healing.
Tales Out of School collects eyewitness narratives from an early missionary era, offering a ground-level view of life along the Gaboon coast. Through classroom moments, village encounters, and the wide world beyond the mission walls, the book paints a picture of cultures in collision and cooperation, and of people learning faith, dignity, and resilience under pressure.
- Experience early schooling in a frontier town and witness the daily duties, tensions, and triumphs of teachers and students.
- See how trade, debt, and polygamy shaped personal lives, community power, and religious outreach.
- Meet a cast of characters from chiefs to slaves, natives to foreign traders, in scenes of mercy, discipline, and cultural exchange.
- Reflection on faith, forgiveness, and the costs of mission work in a time of upheaval.
Ideal for readers interested in historical missionary life, cross-cultural encounters, and the human stories behind colonial-era Africa.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
