"Two Years Among New Guinea Cannibals" by A. E. Pratt is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. This naturalist account details Pratt's explorations and experiences in the still largely uncharted regions of New Guinea, focusing on its diverse wildlife, indigenous cultures, and the challenges of scientific exploration. Throughout the text, Pratt reflects on the rich natural history of the island, the intricacies of local tribes, and the perils and adventures associated with his expeditions. The opening of the book introduces the author's extensive travels and sets the stage for his journey into New Guinea, a land he argues is more captivating than any he has encountered before. Pratt hints at the island's vast potential for trade and scientific discovery, particularly highlighting its wealth of bird species and the numerous native tribes with distinct languages. He outlines the difficult terrain, characterized by rugged hills and dense forests, which presents significant challenges for navigation and transport. The beginning serves to establish both the excitement of unknown territories and the practical realities of a naturalist's expedition in such an isolated environment.
