The narrative explores the experiences of the protagonist, Arendt, a bookkeeper who relocates to the Samoa Islands to work for the German Trading and Plantation Company. The story sets the stage for an exploration of colonial life in Samoa, including its flora, fauna, and local customs, as well as the interactions between European settlers and the indigenous population. At the start of the narrative, Arendt receives a transfer to Samoa after requesting a new position from his employer, Mr. Andreas Mertel. He embarks on an extensive journey through various ports before arriving in Apia, the capital of Samoa, where he meets Gustaaf Gaedecke, a former schoolmate who is also starting a new role with the plantation company. The opening chapters vividly depict the natural beauty of the Samoan islands, the arrival in the bustling harbor, and the initial encounters with the local population, alongside the British and American influences present in the region. Arendt's observations and interactions hint at the cultural complexities and challenges that will unfold in the story, setting a rich backdrop for his experiences on the plantation and the socio-political dynamics of the time.
