Central Africa, Japan and Fiji: A Story of Missionary Enterprise, Trials, and Triumphs is a book written by Emma Raymond Pitman in 1882. The book is a firsthand account of the author's experiences as a missionary in Central Africa, Japan, and Fiji. The book is divided into three sections, each detailing the author's experiences in one of the three regions. In the first section, Pitman writes about her time in Central Africa, where she worked as a missionary alongside her husband. She describes the challenges they faced in establishing a mission and the difficulties of working in a foreign land. She also writes about the impact of European colonization on the local people and the struggles they faced as a result.In the second section, Pitman recounts her experiences in Japan, where she worked as a missionary for several years. She writes about the cultural differences between Japan and the West and the challenges of adapting to a new way of life. She also describes the successes and failures of her missionary work in Japan and the impact it had on the local community.The final section of the book focuses on Pitman's experiences in Fiji, where she worked as a missionary for several years before returning to England. She writes about the challenges of working in a remote and isolated region and the difficulties of communicating with the local people. She also describes the impact of Christianity on the Fijian people and the successes and failures of her missionary work.Overall, Central Africa, Japan and Fiji: A Story of Missionary Enterprise, Trials, and Triumphs is a fascinating account of one woman's experiences as a missionary in three very different regions of the world. The book provides a unique insight into the challenges and triumphs of missionary work in the late 19th century and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian missions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
