The Lost Tribe, A Harrowing Passage into New Guinea's Heart of Darkness

by Edward Marriott

  • EXPLORATION
  • 1999
  • PAPER
  • 256 PAGES
  • OUT OF PRINT

Few places on Earth are as remote as the higlands of Papua New Guinea. In this debut book Marriott tells of his "discovery" and experiences among the Liawep people, a group that had been largely unknown outside the local region. This book is in the grand tradition of harrowing exploration -- complete with an arduous trek, obstinate government officials, rumors of cannibalism and physical danger. Not surprisingly, Marriott is British.  (NGA14, $13.00)
