Hans Staden est un aventurier allemand, né vers 1525 à Homberg et mort en 1579. Lors d’un voyage en Amérique du Sud, le navire sur lequel il était embarqué s’échoua près de l’île de Saint-Vincent au large du Brésil et il fut fait prisonnier par une tribu Tupinamba qui pratiquait l’anthropophagie rituelle. Il resta neuf mois captif des Tupinamba qui promettaient régulièrement de le dévorer. Il put toutefois s’échapper et retourner en Europe en 1555 pour écrire le récit de ses aventures.
"The Captivity of Hans Staden" was one of the several works written by Hans Staden in his lifetime and was published in 1557. This work is a powerful and revealing account in which Staden narrates his experiences as a captive among the indigenous Tupinambá people in Brazil, offering an intimate and profound view of his life and the conditions he faced during this period. Over time, various biographies have been written and continue to be written about this iconic explorer and adventurer, with increasing quality and scope. However, to understand the thoughts and character of a real person, there is nothing better than hearing the story with all its circumstances, mistakes, and successes told by the one who lived it firsthand. This is the purpose of Hans Staden's account: to bring to the public the determined and resilient man who, through his perseverance and adaptability, survived captivity and provided one of the earliest European accounts of the New World. This work is part of the "Voices of America" collection, which aims to highlight the life stories of important figures in American history, told by themselves.
