Sabine Kuegler recalls her childhood in West Papua, where her family lived among the Fayu, a people uncontacted by civilization. She grew up hunting and learning the harshness of nature. After the death of her Fayu brother Ohri, she left the jungle at seventeen to study at a Swiss boarding school, where she experienced the clash between two cultures.
Translated from German by Christian Kuegler; the original, «Dschungelkind», was published in 2004. It is the first title in the «Dschungelkind» series.
For readers of memoirs and travel literature seeking a personal account of culture clash and childhood in a remote, isolated environment.
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.
