Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating early travelogue that details an individual's time among the Hermaphrodites, a people who (it was believed) inhabited an uncharted island. A world away from the concerns of 17th-century Europe, the Hermaphrodites lived lives dedicated to physical pleasure and the pursuit of beauty. The author delves into the minutiae of their daily lives, observing their peculiar rituals, strange diets, and unique approach to religion and philosophy. Through it all, the author provides vivid descriptions of the Hermaphrodites' culture, shedding light on the nature of gender, sexuality, and human identity in a thought-provoking and eye-opening way.
