With the help of generous excerpts from Jacob Gotfried Haafner's own writings, including material newly translated into English, this book tells an affecting story of a young man who made a world for himself along the Coromandel Coast, in Ceylon and Calcutta, but who returned to Europe to live the last years of his life.
