Summary: "The North-West Amazons: Notes of some months spent among cannibal tribes" by Thomas Whiffen is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work details the author's months spent exploring the remote regions near the upper Amazon River, specifically focusing on the cannibal tribes and their cultures. Whiffen shares his observations of the tribes' customs, daily life, and interactions with nature, providing readers with an ethnographic glimpse into a largely untouched world. At the start of the narrative, Whiffen recounts his motivations for embarking on this journey following a period of unemployment due to ill health. He reflects on previous travel experiences and the influence of Dr. Alfred Russel Wallace's writings, which inspired him to explore the Amazon. Arriving in Manaos, he quickly realizes the challenges of accessing the interior and securing a reliable party, and the narrative unfolds with his detailed accounts of the difficulties faced in navigating the forest, river routes, and the dynamics with local tribes. The opening section sets the stage for an immersive exploration of the Amazonian wilderness and the indigenous peoples residing there, capturing both the allure and the difficulties of his expedition.
