Reseña del editor:
Benedict Allen set off for New Guinea with a twofold aim: to contact the remote peoples of the island, and from them to learn for himself how to live in harmony with nature. His quest led him through one of the strangest series of adventures recorded by any modern traveller. A witchdoctor's prediction led Benedict to seek a community who would allow him to take part in the traditional initiation rites by which the tribes boys enter manhood. At Kandengai his request was granted: Benedict was accepted into a Sepik tribe and became one of the few white men ever permitted to learn the age-old secrets of the spirit house - the "crocodile nest".. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
Contraportada:
The remarkable account of one young explorer's initiation into the tribal rites of manhood in a remote area of New Guinea.
When Benedict Allen set off for Papua New Guinea to contact the hidden peoples of the island learn the secrets of their harmonious communion with nature, he embarked on one of the strangest adventures recorded by any modern traveller.
After fleeing for his life into the jungle in far-flung West Papua, he patiently sought a tribe who would accept him. When a Sepik tribe eventually did so, he was able to learn the ancient secrets of the 'crocodile nest'. In the spirit house, initiates were kept in seclusion for weeks, their skins carved with crocodile markings, until, pushed to the limits of endurance, they came to embody the 'crocodile spirit' and attained maturity.
"The age of adventure is far from dead so long as people like Benedict Allen tread the earth"
IAN HAMILTON
Revealing at first hand the dilemmas and tragedies of a culture threatened by the encroachments of Christianity and the modern world, 'Into the Crocodile Nest' is a vivid account of an unforgettable adventure by the author of 'Mad White Giant' and 'Through Jaguar Eyes,' arguably one of our most intrepid explorers"
(SEBASTIAN SHAKESPEARE, 'Literary Review')
