«L'enfant de la jungle» is the autobiographical account by Sabine Kuegler, published by OH! éditions in paperback (329 pages, in French).
Sabine Kuegler recalls her childhood in West Papua (Indonesia), among the Fayou tribe, far from civilisation. The jungle is her home: she learns to hunt, to light a fire without matches, and to live with a justice system that punishes every crime with death. The account addresses the culture shock and uprootedness she feels upon returning to Europe.
First instalment of the «Dschungelkind» series; the original work was published in 2004 and this French edition, translated by Barbara Fontaine, in 2006.
For readers of memoirs, travel and anthropology.
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.
