'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.
