Description

Located within the confines of the territorial expansion of the Spanish monarchy, and when it is going through a period of political decline (early eighteenth century), a religious group of the Society of Jesus marks a new mission objective: to preach and evangelize the inhabitants of islands located beyond the southern Philippines and the Marianas. This is the Caroline Islands and Palau, about which little was known until now. After several failed attempts (shipwrecks, inability to locate the islands, etc.) In which various religious come to die, Gian Antonio Cantova parents Walter and Victor achieve their goal of coming into contact with the Indians and start working for their conversion . However, the culture clash between two civilizations and cultures eventually exploding.nThis book retrieves documents thirty possible to reconstruct a fragment of history, distant in time and space, in which we relive how were the first contacts between Western missionaries and natives of the Carolines and Palau.nnn
