Based on Sabina Kuegler's autobiography "When the Stone Age Girl Came to Stay" Sabina Kuegler, at the age of five, followed her father, a linguist and missionary, to the depths of the West Papua rainforest into the "Lost Valley," home to a legendary tribe of cannibals that still exists in the Stone Age today. This blonde little girl fell in love with the tropical jungle at first sight. She learned to hunt, climb, and swim in crocodile-infested rivers. She could shoot poisonous spiders with a bow and arrow and start a fire without matches. She ate roasted insects instead of French fries; what she chewed on was not gum, but bat wings. She realized how cruel nature can be at times and what hatred between people truly means. In the formerly cannibalistic Fayu tribe, all wrongs must be repaid with death, but it was in this very tribe that Sabina gained many brothers and sisters. At seventeen, Sabina Kuegler was sent back to a boarding school in Switzerland. It felt like a terrifying cut; "Here is where I learned to be afraid," in this modern city, she had to relearn how to shop, how to greet people, how to cross the street... Now, she seems to have fully adapted, even becoming what is referred to as an economist in civilized society. But she is filled with homesickness, her longing for the depths of the jungle burns continuously within her, and she begins to ask herself: Who am I, a Fayu person? Or a European? What is civilization? What does it mean to be primitive? This is a story of a civilized person entering a primitive tribe and a primitive person entering the civilized world. The author uses her unique life experiences and stories to give wings to our imagination about culture, providing us with more perspectives to examine modern life.
