Stranger in the Forest: On Foot Across Borneo

Stranger in the Forest: On Foot Across Borneo

Eric Hansen

Das Buch ist gleichzeitig ein moderner Klassiker der Reiseliteratur und eine packende Abenteuergeschichte und bietet einen seltenen und intimen Einblick in die verschwindende Lebensweise einer der letzten überlebenden Gruppen von Regenwaldbewohnern.

Eric Hansen war der erste Westler, der die Insel Borneo zu Fuß überquerte. Sieben Monate lang völlig abgeschnitten von der Außenwelt reiste er mit kleinen Gruppen nomadischer Jäger, den Penan, fast 2400 Kilometer weit.

Unterhalb der Regenwälder wanderten sie durch einen unglaublich schönen Dschungel, in dem Schlangen und Frösche fliegen, Schweine auf Bäume klettern, riesige fleischfressende Pflanzen Mäuse fressen und Pilze nachts leuchten.

Hansens fesselnde und oft grausame Darstellung seiner Heldentaten wird durch den Humor und die Menschlichkeit gemildert, die die Penan dazu veranlassten, ihn in ihre Welt mitzunehmen und ihre Geheimnisse zu teilen.
