Description
""The Adventures of Robert Drury: During Fifteen Years Captivity on the Island of Madagascar"" is a memoir written by Robert Drury himself, detailing his experiences of being held captive on the island of Madagascar for a period of fifteen years. The book was originally published in 1729, but this edition was published in 1807. Drury was a sailor who was shipwrecked on the island in 1701, and was captured by the local inhabitants. He was then sold as a slave to various masters, and spent the next fifteen years of his life in captivity. The book provides a detailed account of Drury's experiences, including his interactions with his captors, the customs and practices of the Malagasy people, and the various jobs he was forced to perform as a slave. The book also includes descriptions of the natural environment of Madagascar, as well as the flora and fauna of the island. Overall, ""The Adventures of Robert Drury"" is a fascinating and insightful account of one man's struggle to survive in a foreign land, and provides valuable historical information about Madagascar and its people.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
