Charting 15 tribes, 15 cultures, and one man's incredible journey, this is an eye-opening trip to the world's most remote regions.
A companion piece to the popular BBC TV series, it follows the affable and adventurous Bruce Parry as he cohabits with cannibals, nibbles on rat-cakes, forges firm friendships and sits in on some dramatic rituals. A month at a time may not seem like a lot, but when you are eating, sleeping and breathing tribal life, as Bruce does, it can be life-changing ... and truly riveting reading. A wake-up call about ours as much as other cultures (a remote Papuan tribe reckon our "jungle" must be pretty s**t, "cos [he] can't climb trees"), this is an unforgettable odyssey.
