| Summary | "Die Sandwich-Inseln, oder das Inselreich von Hawaii" by Reinhold Anrep-Elmpt is a travel account written in the late 19th century. The author shares his experiences and observations from his travels to the Hawaiian Islands, also known as the Sandwich Islands, showcasing their landscapes, cultural influences, and the historical context of the islands during that period. The narrative delves into the interactions between Europeans and Hawaiians, highlighting the changes brought by colonization and the impact on the native population. The opening of the book begins with a preface where the author expresses a desire to share his travel impressions after encouragement from friends. He contemplates where to start his journey of publication and eventually settles on the Hawaiian Islands, aiming to reveal the greatness found in seemingly small territories. Following this, the narrative transitions into the author’s journey from San Francisco to Honolulu, detailing the ship's preparations, the journey across the Pacific, and his first encounters as he arrives in the scenic harbor of Honolulu. The first chapter sets the stage for a detailed exploration of island life, geography, and societal structures that will follow in the subsequent sections.
