Map Dedication For Max Epigraph Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. —ROBERT FROST Contents Cover Map Title Page Dedication Epigraph Author’s Note Prologue: A Ghost Story Part I: Rupture One Two Three Four Part II: Immersion Five Six Seven Eight Nine Ten Eleven Part III: Return Twelve Thirteen Fourteen Fifteen Sixteen Seventeen Acknowledgments Select Bibliography Notes Index About the Author Also by Carl Hoffman Copyright About the Publisher Author’s Note This is a work of nonfiction reconstructed through thousands of pages of original, contemporaneous journals, letters, news articles, films, still photographs; hours of in-person interviews in Indonesia, Malaysia, Switzerland, France, Austria, and Canada; telephone interviews; and two monthlong trips to Malaysian Sarawak and Indonesian Kalimantan, where I walked in many of the very same footsteps traveled by the characters in this story. There are a few tales here, however, that feel so wild they defy belief, with no corroborating witnesses or documents. I think they’re true, but only the tellers know for sure.
