Lovci na glave u Koraljnom moru

Ion L. Idriess

"Lovci na glave u Koraljnom moru" je pustolovni roman australskog pisca Iona L. Idriessa, prvi put objavljen 1940. godine.

Temelji se na stvarnim događajima iz 1834. godine kada je trgovački brod Charles Eaton potonuo u Koraljnom moru. Dvojica dječaka, Jack Ireland i Will D'Oyly, preživjeli su brodolom i proveli nekoliko godina među domorodačkim plemenima otočja Torres Strait.

Domoroci su ih prihvatili vjerujući da su reinkarnacije izgubljenih duša, nazvavši ih "Lamari". Dječaci su usvojili lokalne običaje, naučili loviti, ribariti i sudjelovali u svakodnevnom životu plemena. Knjiga detaljno opisuje njihove avanture, uključujući opasnosti, kulturne razlike i prilagodbu novom načinu života. Nakon nekoliko godina, britanski brod Isabella pronašao ih je i vratio u europsku civilizaciju, gdje su se suočili s izazovima reintegracije.

Ova knjiga je jedno od najpoznatijih djela Iona Idriessa, koji je napisao više od 50 knjiga inspiriranih australskom poviješću i kulturom.
