Tropic Days is a book written by E.J. Banfield, an Australian author, and naturalist. The book is a collection of essays that describe Banfield’s experiences living on Dunk Island, a small tropical island off the coast of Queensland, Australia. The essays cover a wide range of topics, including the island’s flora and fauna, the daily life of its inhabitants, and the challenges of living in a remote and isolated location. Banfield’s writing is vivid and evocative, painting a rich and detailed picture of life on Dunk Island. The book is a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era and a unique way of life, and is sure to be of interest to anyone interested in Australian history, nature, or adventure.Remote from the manners and the sights of the street, here are we secure against most of the pains which come of the contemplation, casual or intimate, of other folk’s sufferings. No hooded ambulance moves joltlessly, tended by enwrapt bearers, on pathless way; no formal procession paces from the house of death to the long last home. Immune from the associations which oft subdue the crowd, as well as from its too exciting pleasures, and participating only indirectly in its inevitable sorrows, yet we are occasionally forced to remember that troubles do come to all that is flesh, and that keen is the grief attendant upon enforced separations even among animals which cannot call reason to their solace.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
