Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book transports readers to the heart of 19th century Africa, immersing them in the brutal realities of a culture steeped in ritualistic violence and human sacrifice. The author, a keen observer of the natural world and a dedicated humanitarian, guides the reader through the horrifying practices of a particular tribe, revealing the depths of savagery that exist alongside seemingly ordinary life. The book delves into the complexities of human nature, contrasting the brutal practices of the Gnongo people with the innocence of childhood, while suggesting that the darkness of their actions stems from a deep-seated belief system that transcends rational understanding. The authorââ â¢s unflinching account, grounded in a blend of anthropological observation and evocative narrative, underscores the importance of understanding the cultural and historical forces that shape human behaviour, even in its most extreme forms.
