At once a modern classic of travel literature and a gripping adventure story, Stranger in the Woods provides a rare and intimate look at the vanishing way of life of one of the last surviving groups of rainforest dwellers.
The book describes man's discoveries of parts of planet Earth that were accidental or planned. The period from 50,000 years ago to today's efforts in space exploration is described.
The book contains three Latin reports by the Croatian Jesuit, nobleman and explorer Ivan Rattkay (Ratkaj, 1647–1683), born in Ptuj (today Slovenia), sent to the provincial of the Austro-Czech Jesuit province from the mission in northern Mexico.
The first edition of this book dates from 1892 (it marked the 400th anniversary of Columbus' discovery of America), and the second was published in 1980. This is the third, linguistically updated edition of Carić's book.
