Part autobiographical journal, part social-historical novel, this book tracks Tobias Scheebaum's almost epic life story, from his youth through his life in Peru, Borneo and beyond. A young man from New York, Schneebaum ""disappeared"" in 1955 on the slopes of the Andes. He lived for more than a year among the remote Harakhambut people, discovering a way of being that was strange, primitive and powerfully attractive to him. His search eventually led him on an odyssey through South America, India, Tibet, Borneo, New Guinea and Southeast Asia.
