Summary | "Omzwervingen door de eilandenwereld van den Grooten Oceaan: De Fidji-eilanden" is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book serves as an exploration and historical account of the Fiji Islands, providing insights into their culture, people, and the impact of European colonization. It reflects the author's observations and experiences during a journey through the archipelago at a time when the islands were transitioning under British rule. The narrative begins with the author's arrival in the Fiji Islands and his visit to Levuka, detailing the environment, the local population, and the economic conditions of the colony. It discusses the governance changes taking place, the role of missionaries, and the superficial changes brought about by colonization. The author also describes the physical appearance, customs, and traditions of the Fijian people, including their social structure and the history of cannibalism. He recounts various personal encounters, from witnessing a wedding ceremony to exploring the scenic valleys and the flourishing sugar plantations, ultimately painting a vivid picture of the islands at the dawn of formal British administration.
