Description

This enquiry into the explorer mindset is part meditation, part memoir, from one of 'Britain's greatest explorers' (Telegraph)

A nuanced and sensitive long conversation with the people of Papua New Guinea. . . [Allen] is a sensitive observer . . . [he] has an ear for dialogue and the inconsequential, and a gift for bringing alive the characters he meets

A remarkable journey unfolds . . . [Allen] writes clean, honest prose, creating startling images of all he sees . . . an extraordinary story, painfully assembled and beautifully told

A love song to the Yaifo and all peoples struggling to maintain dignity and culture in a world gone wrong

Honest, sensitive and gives a brilliant look at a world most of us just dream about

Brilliant. Reads like a thriller

Benedict Allen read Environmental Science at the University of East Anglia and is a former member of Council of the Royal Geographical Society, Patron of the Environmental Justice Foundation, the Tony Foundation and Save the Rhino Trust. Best known, perhaps, for having pioneered the 'video selfie' as a result of filming his solo expeditions for television, he is also editor of The Faber Book of Exploration.
