Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the author's journey through the remote Palau archipelago in the South Pacific. Traveling with a small team of European and native guides, the author braves treacherous coral reefs and traverses dense tropical forests to explore these isolated islands. Along the way, he encounters the indigenous Palauan people, observes their customs and traditions, and witnesses their struggle to preserve their cultural identity in the face of modernization. The Palauans, once renowned navigators and warriors, have a rich oral history and a deep reverence for their natural environment. The author, keen on understanding their worldview, delves into the intricacies of their language, beliefs, and social organization. He also explores the challenges they face, including the impact of colonialism, the influx of foreign influences, and the threat posed by climate change. The author's vivid descriptions of the Palauan landscape and people are complemented by historical and anthropological insights, providing a comprehensive and immersive account of this fascinating culture.
