The book recounts the journey of the author and his companions as they travel to remote regions inhabited by the Kia Kia tribes, known for their cannibalistic practices. The narrative seeks to explore the interactions between the adventurers and the indigenous people in a cultural and physical confrontation that highlights the challenges of exploration.  At the start of the narrative, the author describes their departure from Ambon aboard a ship heading for Merauke, the land of the Kia Kias. As they sail, they share in the excitement and anticipation of seeking out an enigmatic culture, with rumors of cannibals and the exotic lifestyle of the Kia Kias. The opening sets a tone of adventure as the travelers prepare for encounters filled with curiosity and the unknown, providing glimpses of both their enthusiasm and apprehensions about the strange and possibly dangerous land they are approaching.
