The Former Philippines Thru Foreign Eyes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162694955)

The Former Philippines Thru Foreign Eyes is a book written by Fedor Jagor, a German ethnologist and naturalist who visited the Philippines in the mid-19th century. The book is a collection of his observations and experiences during his travels throughout the archipelago, from Luzon to Mindanao. Jagor's book provides a unique perspective on the Philippines during this time period, as it is written from a foreigner's point of view. He describes the customs, traditions, and daily life of the Filipino people, as well as the flora and fauna of the islands. He also shares his insights on the country's political and economic situation, as well as its history and culture. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a particular aspect of the Philippines. Some of the topics covered in the book include the geography of the islands, the various ethnic groups and their languages, the religious practices of the people, and the impact of Spanish colonization on the country. Overall, The Former Philippines Thru Foreign Eyes is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Philippines.
