Summary
The Last Wild Men of Borneo by Carl Hoffman tells the true stories of two men: Bruno Manser, a Swiss activist who lived with Borneo’s Penan tribe to protect their rainforest from logging and Michael Palmieri, an American art dealer who explored Borneo to collect rare tribal artifacts. The book explores their adventures, the clash between modern life and indigenous cultures, and the fight to save Borneo’s wilderness. It’s a fascinating story about adventure, culture, and the impact of outsiders on remote communities.
