'The Broadway Travellers contains few more exciting stories than
that of Staden.' Sunday Times 'The present translation of his
adventures among the Brazilian cannibals, with which the gruesome
original woodcuts are included, now make Staden's story available
to a larger public...'New Statesman The first part of the book is a
straightforward account of the author's personal experiences. The
second part is a detailed treatise on the customs of the Tupinamba,
their polity, trade, religion, manufactures and warlike
undertakings, and of the flora and fauna of the country. In-depth
information is given on rites and ceremonies (those on cannibalism
are not for the faint-hearted reader), government and laws and
religious observances. Facsimiles of woodcuts.
