Omschrijving

The Beachcombers: Or Slave Trading Under The Union Jack is a historical novel written by Gilbert Bishop, first published in 1900. The story takes place in the late 19th century and follows the adventures of a group of beachcombers, or men who scavenge for goods on the beach, in the South Pacific. The main character, Jack Harriott, is a former sailor who has been living on a remote island for several years. He is recruited by a group of British officials to help them investigate allegations of slave trading in the region. Along with his companions, Jack embarks on a dangerous journey through the islands, encountering various obstacles and challenges along the way.The novel provides a vivid portrayal of life in the South Pacific during the colonial era, including the exploitation of indigenous peoples by European powers. The characters are complex and well-developed, and the plot is full of twists and turns that keep the reader engaged.Overall, The Beachcombers is a thrilling adventure story that also sheds light on a dark period in history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of colonialism and the South Pacific.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
