Stranger in the Forest: On Foot Across Borneo

Eric Hansen

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

Eric Hansen bio je prvi zapadnjak koji je ikada hodao preko otoka Borneo. Potpuno odsječen od vanjskog svijeta sedam mjeseci, putovao je gotovo 1500 milja s malim skupinama nomadskih lovaca poznatih kao Penan.

Ispod kišnih šuma, pješačili su kroz nevjerojatno lijepu džunglu u kojoj zmije i žabe lete, svinje se penju na drveće, goleme biljke mesožderke jedu miševe, a gljive svijetle noću.

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