{"product_id":"jungle-child-by-sabine-kuegler","title":"Jungle Child by Sabine Kuegler","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.'\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.","brand":"Stirring Pages","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65634025242973,"sku":null,"price":3.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1077\/7827\/7725\/files\/15639363482844.jpg?v=1787214425","url":"https:\/\/stirringpages.com\/products\/jungle-child-by-sabine-kuegler","provider":"Stirring Pages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
