«La niña de la jungla» is the memoir by Sabine Kuegler, published by Styria de Ediciones y Publicaciones in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Sabine Kuegler recalls her childhood in West Papua, where she arrived at age five with her linguist and missionary parents. She grew up in the Lost Valley among the Fayu people, learned to hunt in the jungle, and was later sent to a Swiss boarding school. The book reflects the clash between those two worlds and the nostalgia for the jungle.
It is the first installment of the «Dschungelkind» series; the German original appeared in 2004.
For readers of memoirs, travel narratives, and chronicles of living with indigenous cultures.
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.
