King of the Pygmies

By Thomas A. Lahey

Book Overview

The King Of The Pygmies is a book written by Thomas A. Lahey. The book is a work of fiction that tells the story of a young American anthropologist named Paul Duquesne. Paul is sent to the Congo to study the pygmies, a group of indigenous people who live in the forest. While there, he becomes fascinated with the pygmies' way of life and begins to learn their language and customs. As Paul spends more time with the pygmies, he becomes aware of a power struggle between two pygmy tribes. One tribe is led by a wise and respected king, while the other is led by a cruel and ruthless leader. Paul is drawn into the conflict and must use his knowledge of the pygmies to help the rightful king regain his throne. The book explores themes of power, culture clash, and the importance of understanding and respecting other cultures. It is an engaging and thought-provoking read that offers a unique perspective on the lives of the pygmies and the challenges they face in a changing world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
