Author: Loederer, Richard A & Vesey, Desmond Ivo

Originally published in German in "1932," Loederer's eyewitness account of his adventures in Haiti has long been out of print. From his steamer voyage from New York to his punishing trek through the island's interior jungle to his "rapt," yet "fearful," attendance at an authentic voodoo "ceremony," Loederer captures the "sights," "sounds," and sensations of this mysterious Caribbean republic. The author's own art-deco-style woodcuts add to the exotic appeal of this "volume," which chronicles the vanishing African traditions of the island's people.
