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. Translated from Russian by B. Wongar from Australia.
