Ein Jahrzehnt in Samoa (1906-1916) (Classic Reprint)

This book chronicles the awe and wonder of the author's transition from life in Europe to life in Samoa. Arriving with her husband, a doctor, she shares her unique experiences becoming accustomed to life in an entirely new environment with different customs, traditions, and cultural values. The author is honest in her struggle to embrace the stark contrasts in the island she now calls home and shows how, over time, she becomes enchanted with its natural beauty and the genuine kindness of its people. The book is rich in its descriptions of her adventures among the islands and the challenges of living in such a vastly different setting. Her insights and observations on the country’s complex history serve to reinforce her appreciation of the resilience of the Samoan people and their determination to maintain their unique cultural heritage. In time, the author comes to not only understand Samoa but to love it deeply. Through her graceful storytelling, the author reminds us that while the world can be vastly different from our own, it is in embracing those differences that we truly discover its wonder.Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
