About the Book

Tropic Days (1918) Part I offers a reflective exploration of life in the tropical regions of Queensland, Australia, particularly focusing on the rhythms of nature and the interactions between humans and the environment. Through the author's keen observations, the book delves into the simplicity of rural life, and the profound connection between individuals and the land they inhabit. It paints a vivid picture of the lush tropical landscape, emphasizing its beauty and its challenges. The narrative captures the essence of living in a remote area, where daily existence is shaped by the natural world, with its unpredictable weather, wildlife, and the ongoing battle for survival. Themes of adaptation, resilience, and the search for meaning in an untamed environment resonate throughout the text. As the protagonist navigates life in the tropics, the book examines the balance between the peaceful, idyllic aspects of nature and the constant struggles that arise in such an unforgiving, yet deeply captivating, world. The story offers insight into both the external world and the inner life of those who live in it.

About the Author :
Edmund James Banfield was an English-born author and naturalist who became well-known for his works about the tropical life of Queensland, Australia. Born on September 4, 1852, in Liverpool, United Kingdom, Banfield moved to Australia, where he spent much of his life on Dunk Island, off the coast of Queensland. His deep connection to the island and its environment informed much of his writing, which often explored the flora, fauna, and the everyday life of the region. Banfield is best remembered for his 1908 book Confessions of a Beachcomber, in which he reflects on his experiences living in isolation on Dunk Island. He also authored Tropic Days (1918), a series of personal observations on the tropical world, and Last Leaves from Dunk Island. His intimate, detailed descriptions of the natural world and his exploration of the relationship between people and their surroundings garnered recognition as a significant contribution to Australian literature. Banfield's grave on Dunk Island is listed on the Queensland Heritage Register, marking his lasting legacy in the region. He passed away on June 2, 1923, at the age of 70, leaving behind a unique body of work focused on the tropical landscapes he loved.
