Publisher's Note
At once a modern classic of travel literature and a gripping adventure story. STRANGER IN THE FOREST provides a rare and intimate look at the vanishing way of life of one of the last surviving groups of rain forest dwellers. Hansen's absorbing, and often chilling, account of his exploits is tempered with the humor and humanity that prompted the Penan to take him into their world and to share their secrets.

In 1978 Eric Hansen found himself shipwrecked on a desert island in the Red Sea. When goat smugglers offered him safe passage to Yemen, he buried seven years worth of travel journals deep in the sand and took his place alongside the animals on a leaky boat bound for a country he'd never planned to visit.As he tells of the turbulent seas that stranded him on the island and of his efforts to retrieve his buried journals when he returned to Yemen ten years later, Hansen enthralls us with a portrait of this forgotten corner of the Middle East. With a host of extraordinary characters, and with landscapes that include cities of dreamlike architectural splendor, endless sand dunes, and terrifying mountain passes, Hansen reveals the indelible allure of a land steeped in custom, conflicts old and new, and uncommon beauty.

Industry Reviews
"Its charm lies in its wild hairpin turns of events and its superbly detailed descriptions."
