A Lost Paradise is a novel written by Frederic Arnold Kummer and published in 1914. The story takes place in the early 1900s and follows the life of a young woman named Barbara, who is forced to leave her comfortable life in New York City and move to a remote island in the South Pacific. Barbara’s father, a wealthy businessman, has purchased the island with the intention of turning it into a profitable plantation. However, things do not go as planned, and Barbara finds herself struggling to adapt to her new surroundings. As she begins to explore the island, Barbara discovers a hidden valley that has remained untouched by civilization. The valley is a paradise, filled with exotic plants and animals, and Barbara is immediately drawn to it. But as she spends more time in the valley, Barbara realizes that there are dangers lurking in this seemingly perfect paradise. She discovers that the valley is home to a tribe of natives who have been isolated from the rest of the world for centuries. Barbara becomes fascinated by the natives and their way of life, but her curiosity leads her down a dangerous path. She soon finds herself caught in the middle of a conflict between the natives and her father’s plantation workers. A Lost Paradise is a thrilling adventure story that explores themes of colonialism, cultural differences, and the clash between modernity and tradition. It is a gripping tale of one woman’s journey to find her place in the world and the challenges she faces along the way.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
