Bag om Hans Staden
Hans Staden: The True Story Of His Captivity 1557 is a book written by Hans Staden himself, detailing his experiences during his captivity by the Tupinamb����� people in Brazil in the 16th century. The book is a first-hand account of Staden's capture, his life among the Tupinamb�����, and his eventual escape. Staden was a German sailor who was shipwrecked on the Brazilian coast in 1550. He was captured by the Tupinamb����� people, who were known for their practice of cannibalism. Staden was held captive for nine months, during which he witnessed many of the tribe's rituals and customs, including their cannibalistic practices. The book provides a detailed description of Staden's life among the Tupinamb�����, including his relationships with the tribe's leaders and his eventual escape with the help of French traders. Staden's account is considered to be one of the most important sources of information about the Tupinamb����� people and their way of life. The book has been translated into many languages and has been widely read by scholars and historians interested in the history of Brazil and the indigenous peoples of the Americas. It is also considered to be a valuable resource for those interested in the history of European exploration and colonization of the Americas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
