I go through the above said book "Five Years in Unknown Jungles FOR GOD AND EMPIRE" written by Rev. Arthur Reginald Lorrain, Pioneer Missionary to Lakherland (Maraland) atleast 4-5 times and i found that this book was not only an interesting account of real(true) mission work but also an interesting account book about the Maras and their history.

This book has flow again and also intersting going to the flow of the content.But I knew that this book is written about the author experiences and reflection of the naiveness moralities of the native. Myself it is rather interested than historical knowledge from this very crucial book. Now I wish to read not translation but how is the original flow.
