The New Guinea Diaries 1871-1883

Pioneering ecologist and humanist N. N. Miklouho-Maclay went to the island of New Guinea, the first white man to do so, to prove that the people of all races are equally human. He stayed with the Papuans, and his diaries are testimony to a native culture untouched by the outside world.

The New Guinea Diaries provide an authentic portrait of a timeless, sustainable and egalitarian tribal society before the Europeans moved into the area. Translated from Russian by B. Wongar from Australia.
