Today, she blends in with everyone else but homesickness and longing constantly burn inside her& It must have been October. I m 17 years old, standing at the train station in Hamburg. An icy wind sweeps across the platform. I m terribly cold; nobody explained to me how to dress in winter. I observe the people around me with mistrust and I m ready to hit anyone who should attack me. How can I defend myself? I have neither a bow and arrow nor a knife on me. I start to shiver, tears roll down my cold cheeks, I long for the humid heat of my homeland. I m a child of the jungle Sabine Kuegler s story begins as she arrives in West Papua (Indonesia) at age five, daughter of German linguists who are missionaries. She arrives to find a tribe which even today lives as if it were the Stone Age. The little blonde girl falls in love with the jungle at first sight it s a fantasy world, a playground. She learns to hunt, to climb, to swim in the raging river which is teeming with crocodiles. Instead of french fries she eats roasted insects, instead of gum she chews bat wings. At age 17 Sabine is sent to a Swiss boarding school to get her diploma. And so Sabine learns everything for the first time how to shop, how to greet people, how to cross the street &

In 1980 seven-year-old Sabine Kuegler and her family went to live in a remote jungle area of West Papua among the recently discovered Fayu - a tribe untouched by modern civilisation. Her childhood was spent hunting, shooting poisonous spiders with arrows and chewing on pieces of bat-wing in place of gum. She also learns how brutal nature can be - and sees the effect of war and hatred on tribal peoples. After the death of her Fayu-brother, Ohri, Sabine decides to leave the jungle and, aged seventeen, she goes to a boarding school in Switzerland - a traumatic change for a girl who acts and feels like one of the Fayu. 'Fear is something I learnt here' she says. 'In the Lost Valley, with a lost tribe, I was happy. In the rest of the world it was I who was lost.' Here is Sabine Kuegler's remarkable true story of a childhood lived out in the Indonesian jungle, and the struggle to conform to European society that followed.

A #1 bestseller in Europe, Child of the Jungle tells the remarkable story of a childhood and adolescence spent caught between two modes of existence-jungle life and Western "civilization." Sabine Kuegler was five years old when her family-her German linguist-missionary parents and her siblings-moved to the territory of the recently discovered hunter-and-gatherer Fayu tribe of Papua New Guinea. The Fayu tribe is best known for being a Stone Age community untouched by modern times-they live an existence characterized by fear, violence, and atavistic ritual (including cannibalism in some regions)-but Sabine's family saw another side to them as well. Once the Kueglers were accepted by a clan chief, they found themselves becoming a part of a tightly knit and fiercely loyal community, and living the primal existence of the Fayu-one marked by the natural cycles of day and night, malaria and other diseases, and daily encounters with wildlife, from swims with crocodiles to dinners of worms. As the Kueglers changed, so did the Fayu people, learning from Sabine's family that there was a way out of their cycle of violence and that forgiveness can be sweeter than revenge. At the age of 17, Sabine found her life turned upside down when she left for Switzerland to attend boarding school and entered traditional society head-on. Child of the Jungle is the story of a life lived among the Fayu and the author's attempt to reconcile her feelings about "civilization" with those about a life she knew and loved.

Elf's mother was dead and her father was busy all day in the Indian Government Forestry Office. To her own delight and her ayah's despair, that left Elf with plenty of freedom to explore. She and her friend, Krishnan, roamed the countryside, played with the animals and made many friends, possibly more Indian than British. There is a trip down the river on loggers' teak rafts, riding through the wild, dark jungle to the sea, elephants big and little, sad and mad, and the wild, lush beauty of India.
