Pljačkaši prirode

Thomas Daring

A book by Thomas Daring (pseud. of Anton Zischka) that focuses on the subject of colonial exploitation of natural resources during the 19th and 20th centuries. Very rarely offered with a beautifully preserved cover.

The book begins in Africa, where the author witnesses how European powers, such as Britain, France and Belgium, exploited diamonds, gold and other precious resources. Daring details how the local population was forced to work in inhumane conditions, while natural resources were shipped to Europe to finance the industrial revolution and the luxury of metropolitan life.

The plot then shifts to South America, where the exploitation of rubber and other natural resources is being investigated. Daring emphasizes how colonial powers destroyed rainforests and disturbed the ecological balance, which had long-term consequences for local communities and the environment. The book also highlights the resistance of indigenous peoples who fought against colonial rule but were often suppressed by brutal force.

In the last part of the book, the action shifts to Asia, where the plundering of spices, tea and other resources is investigated. Daring points out how colonial powers used their power to control trade and exploit local populations, leaving poverty and environmental devastation in their wake.

"Robbers of Nature" is not only a story about the past, but also a reminder of the lasting consequences of colonialism. Daring uses the book to highlight how the inequalities created by colonial plunder are still present in the modern world. The book is a powerful critique of the ways in which natural resources have been exploited for the benefit of the few, at great cost to the majority.
