«Dschungelkind» is the autobiography of Sabine Kuegler, published by Droemer in hardcover (345 pages, in German).
The author recounts her childhood in West Papua, where she lived as the daughter of Germans among the Fayu people, without cars, television or stores: her world was the jungle and ancestral rituals. She describes her adaptation to that culture and the uprootedness upon returning to Germany, between two ways of understanding life.
First volume of the two-part series «Dschungelkind»; German edition of 2005.
For readers of memoirs, travel and anthropology interested in experiences of cultural shock and lives far from Western society.
Sabine Kuegler is a German author. She has written several books, two of which have been translated into English. These two books are related to her uncommon childhood: from age 7 to age 17 she lived with her parents and two siblings in the jungle of Waropen, Papua in Indonesia, with the remote tribe of the Fayu.
