Copertina morbida. Condizione: Buono. Prima edizione. XII, 191 p. : ill. ; 23 x 14 cm. Viaggi e avventure. Elio Modigliani, figura autentica di esploratore-naturalista a cavallo fra Otto e Novecento, parte nel 1886 per una serie di viaggi coraggiosi tra le popolazioni dell'arcipelago malese (a Nias, tra i Batak di Sumatra e a Mentawei) in compagnia di un assistente persiano, esperto imbalsamatore di animali, e con un seguito di cacciatori malesi cui affida le sue preziose collezioni zoologiche e botaniche. Nel 1891 si imbarca a Sumatra per Engano, "l'isola della gente nuda", "l'isola delle donne" raccontata dai navigatori portoghesi, olandesi e inglesi, perlopiù scampati, su quelle coste, a un naufragio. Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1894, questo piacevole racconto del suo incontro con gli eredi, decimati dalle malattie, di quegli Enganesi che utilizzavano le proprie donne come esche per gli agguati, spogliando sistematicamente le navi straniere alla fonda, non è solo il resoconto delle escursioni compiute attraverso e intorno all'isola per fotografare e raccogliere materiale etnografico, animali, piante, ma soprattutto il ritratto di una civiltà còlta, con l'attenta curiosità dello studioso positivista, nei suoi costumi, nelle abitudini quotidiane e nelle sue leggende. Brossura editoriale con sovraccoperta illustrata a colori. Timbro di appartenenza in calce al frontespizio. …

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book details the author's exploration of Engano, an almost-unknown island off the coast of Sumatra. The book begins with the author's trip to Lake Toba, then moves on to his arrival on Engano. The author provides a rich ethnographic description of the Enganoan people, covering their appearance, customs, religion, their weapons, and many other facets of life on the island. With Engano being isolated from the rest of the world until very recently, this book provides a unique historical record of the Enganoan people before the arrival of modern civilization.
