{"product_id":"child-of-the-jungle","title":"Child of the Jungle","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. 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.","brand":"Little, Brown Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39662989901909,"sku":"9781844088874N","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/f3c6ed4c-8c09-4fb8-b15c-a174aab7ce37.jpg?v=1644248159","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/child-of-the-jungle","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
