About This Item
New York: Vantage Press, 1991. Hardcover. Very Good/Fine. 8vo - over 7. Type: Hard Back First Edition, Second Impression. Hardcover Book in Very Good Condition with a Fine Dust Jacket. 157 pages. Brown cloth w/gilt titles, very clean and unmarked, with light wear to corners and spine end edges. Tight and solid sewn binding. Interior is very clean and completely unmarked. Jacket not price-clipped. A brilliant mixture of history, adventure and personal impressions about the people and customs of Papua New Guinea. Mr. Bruce was stationed in New Guinea during World War II and is now a cinematographer; he writes of a people and country he has come to love and understand. Here he tells us about a gentle people almost untouched by civilization, about their customs, rituals, and politics. He describes a poor but noble people who live in poverty, deprivation, with sickness and superstition. A comprehensive and scholarly approach. 1991, Vantage Press.
