Description

Panjamon. A Gripping Account of Survival Among the Head-Hunters in Borneo! by Jean-Yves Domalain. Translated from the French by Len Ortzen. ''They came nearer, pointing their long blow-pipes at me . . . These weapons had an iron point and for a moment I thought they were going to spear me in the stomach. But they just pressed the point against my chest, hard enough to break the skin . . . I stood like a statue, hardly daring to breathe. I could see more plainly the design tattooed on the man's left hand, which meant that he was a head-hunter . . .' A fascinating account by a young French zoologist of a lone expedition in the dense Borneo rain forests, where he is abandoned by his guide, lost for two weeks and finally rescued by two Dayak warriors. They take him to their village longhouse and teach him their lore, but he finds himself forced into marrying the chief's daughter. Then the real initiation rites begin . . .'
