Publisher's Synopsis
Out Of The Primitive is a novel written by Robert Ames Bennet. The story revolves around a man named John Gird who is stranded on an island in the South Pacific. He is forced to survive in a primitive environment and learn the ways of the native people. During his time on the island, Gird discovers a hidden valley where he meets a group of people who have been cut off from the rest of the world for centuries. They have developed a unique culture and have their own language. Gird becomes fascinated by their way of life and decides to stay with them. He learns their language and customs and becomes a part of their community. However, Gird's peaceful existence is threatened when a group of outsiders arrive on the island. They want to exploit the resources of the hidden valley and are willing to use force to get what they want. Gird must use his knowledge of the native people and their ways to protect his new home and the people he has come to love. Out Of The Primitive is a thrilling adventure story that explores the clash between modern civilization and traditional cultures.""Then--But I can't leave you here in this hell-hole! You've no right to ask me to do that, Tom. If I could bring my guns ashore and stay with you--But she'll never be more in need of some one, if you insist upon your plan. I say! I have it--We'll slip you aboard after dark. You can lie in covert till we reach Port Mozambique. I trust I'm clever enough to keep her diverted that long. Can put it that you're outfitting--all that, y' know.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
