Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Cannibal Archipelagoes: New Hebrides and Solomon Groups Some two months ago the reader and the author of this little volume were studying the wonderful stone images on Easter Island, which lies in what is known as Humboldt's Cold Current, twenty-three hundred miles west of Chile, South America. From that little pearl in the Pacific to the Solomon Archipelago, which adorns the ocean some five hundred miles cast of New Guinea, is a long distance. We propose to make the trip, however, and shall again be glad of your company. But having accomplished it, we shall be farther than ever from the California coast.

THE ISLAND OF GUADALCANAR. fl are up with the dawn, searching the distance for the massive front of Guadalcanal The whole eastern sky is radiant with yellow light. Myriads of wavelets on the sea are tipped with gold. Occasionally a swift bird flits through the space before us. Otherwise there is a deep quiet on the great sea. The breeze is soft and rather humid, but very invigorating. One feels as if he could live a hundred years. Forgotten is the discomfort of our pent-up berth and of our narrow home on the sea. "There!" suddenly exclaims the keen-eyed captain. We know what he means, and turn our glass toward the west. Look now! Is there a finer coast scene in all the Pacific than those bold head- lands of Guadalcanar? Huge mountain masses rise directly out of the sea to a height of five and eight thousand feet. Mount Tammas, named by Lieutenant Shortland, is the highest point. Most of the lofty peaks are hidden by clouds ready to pour down the rain. Now and then a sharp cone is seen above the mist. "The heaviest rainfall in the Solomon group takes place on the eastern and southern steeps of Guadalcanar." The march of the vapor-laden trade wind meets with little obstruction as it drives across the northern end of St. Christoval, and, arriving from over a vast extent of sea, beats square against these cyclopean walls, and clay after day pours upon them a deluge of water. Along all that massive face of sea wall, it is said, there is not a rift in the rock, not a narrow ravine, nor an open valley which serves as a door of escape for the rushing wet air. Terrific, therefore, is the downpour on Guadalcanar's precipitous sides. The amount is three or four times that deposited on the less-elevated shores. It is Gallego who wrote: ...

Download or read book Cannibal Island written by Nicolas Werth and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-03-19 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A searing historical account of a tragic episode of the Stalinist terror During the spring of 1933, Stalin’s police rounded up nearly one hundred thousand people as part of the Soviet regime’s “cleansing” of Moscow and Leningrad and deported them to Siberia. Many of the victims were sent to labor camps, but ten thousand of them were dumped in a remote wasteland and left to fend for themselves. Cannibal Island reveals the shocking, grisly truth about their fate. These people were abandoned on the island of Nazino without food or shelter. Left there to starve and to die, they eventually began to eat each other. Nicolas Werth, a French historian of the Soviet era, reconstructs their gruesome final days using rare archival material from deep inside the Stalinist vaults. Werth skillfully weaves this episode into a broader story about the Soviet frenzy in the 1930s to purge society of all those deemed to be unfit. For Stalin, these undesirables included criminals, opponents of forced collectivization, vagabonds, gypsies, even entire groups in Soviet society such as the “kulaks” and their families. Werth sets his story within the broader social and political context of the period, giving us for the first time a full picture of how Stalin’s system of “special villages” worked, how hundreds of thousands of Soviet citizens were moved about the country in wholesale mass transportations, and how this savage bureaucratic machinery functioned on the local, regional, and state levels. Cannibal Island challenges us to confront unpleasant facts not only about Stalin’s punitive social controls and his failed Soviet utopia but about every generation’s capacity for brutality—including our own.

Download or read book The Captain and the Cannibal written by James Fairhead and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-24 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sailing the uncharted waters of the Pacific in 1830, Captain Benjamin Morrell of Connecticut became the first outsider to encounter the inhabitants of a small island off New Guinea. The contact quickly turned violent, fatal cannons were fired, and Morrell abducted young Dako, a hostage so shocked by the white complexions of his kidnappers that he believed he had been captured by the dead. This gripping book unveils for the first time the strange odyssey the two men shared in ensuing years. The account is uniquely told, as much from the captive’s perspective as from the American’s. Upon returning to New York, Morrell exhibited Dako as a “cannibal” in wildly popular shows performed on Broadway and along the east coast. The proceeds helped fund a return voyage to the South Pacific—the captain hoping to establish trade with Dako’s assistance, and Dako seizing his only chance to return home to his unmapped island. Supported by rich, newly found archives, this wide-ranging volume traces the voyage to its extraordinary ends and en route decrypts Morrell’s ambiguous character, the mythic qualities of Dako’s life, and the two men's infusion into American literature—Dako inspired Melville’s Queequeg, for example. The encounters confound indigenous peoples and Americans alike as both puzzle over what it is to be truly human and alive.
