Description
The Forest People is an intimate account of a hunter-gatherer tribe living in harmony with nature. Colin Turnbull spent three years among this isolated group, documenting their daily life and participating in their rituals and ceremonies.
Through his experiences, Turnbull gained a unique understanding of the Pygmies' way of life, which he shares in this groundbreaking work. The result is a transporting account of an earthly paradise and a legendary people.
A new foreword by Horatio Clare adds context to this enduring anthropological study, offering readers a fresh perspective on this remarkable book.
