Biography & Memoir History Travel & Exploration
Stranger in the Forest: On Foot Across Borneo recounts Eric Hansen’s extraordinary 1982 trek across one of the world’s last great wildernesses, a journey that made him the first outsider to walk the length of the island. This 1988 hardcover preserves every vivid detail of his 1,500-mile adventure among remote tribes, head-hunters, and orangutans, all captured in rich travel-memoir prose that thrills armchair explorers and serious hikers alike.
The book arrives in good, collectible shape: a crisp, tight binding, clean pages free of tears or dog-ears, and only light foxing to the front endpapers. A protective dust jacket and illustrated plates showcase Borneo’s lush terrain, while a personal inscription on the flyleaf adds a unique touch for gift-giving or shelf pride.
Ideal for fans of true travel, biography, and Southeast Asian history, this edition invites readers to retrace Hansen’s footsteps without leaving home.
