About this book
Adventures in the Philippine Islands is the colourful 1850s memoir of Paul de la Gironière (1797-1862), a French adventurer who settled in the Philippines and ran a plantation at Jala-Jala on Laguna de Bay. He recounts duels, buffalo hunts, encounters with bandits, and life among the peoples of the islands in the swashbuckling style that made the book a popular sensation in Europe. It remains a vivid, if self-glorifying, window on the nineteenth-century Philippines. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
