Stranger in the Forest: On Foot Across Borneo

Stranger in the Forest: On Foot Across Borneo

Eric Hansen

Istovremeno moderni klasik putopisne književnosti i zadivljujuća avanturistička priča, Stranac u šumi pruža redak i intiman pogled na nestajući način života jedne od poslednjih preživelih skupina stanovnika prašuma.

Eric Hansen bio je prvi zapadnjak koji je ikada hodao ostrvom Borneo. Potpuno odsečen od spoljnog sveta sedam meseci, putovao je gotovo 1500 milja s malim grupama nomadskih lovaca poznatih kao Penan.

Ispod kišnih šuma, pešačili su kroz neverojatno lepu džunglu u kojoj zmije i žabe lete, svinje se penju na drveće, goleme biljke mesožderke jedu miševe, a pečurke svetle noću.

Hansenov zadivljujući, a često i jeziv, prikaz njegovih podviga ublažen je humorom i ljudskošću koji su naveli Penan da ga odvedu u svoj svet i podele svoje tajne.
