A Legendary 1989 Travel Memoir of the First Foot Crossing of Borneo

In 1982, American traveler Eric Hansen became the first Westerner in modern history to complete a 1,500-mile foot journey across the unmapped interior of Borneo. Guided by nomadic Penan hunter-gatherers, Hansen walked through dense equatorial rainforests from Sarawak to Kalimantan.

His travelogue records months spent hunting with blowpipes, navigating swollen river systems, learning rainforest medicine, and sharing longhouse hospitality. Hansen presents an intimate portrait of Penan culture prior to widespread commercial logging in the region.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Eric Hansen combines extreme jungle travel with respectful anthropological observation. Essential reading for lovers of Southeast Asian travelogues, rainforest expeditions, and indigenous cultural studies.
