Content introduction
Anthropologist Dr. Nigel Bally travels to the unfamiliar island of Sulawesi, wading through the steamy, dangerous mountain forests in search of the local Toraja people. The culture of this people is unique and mysterious, known for its spectacular architecture and mysterious ancestor worship. Different from the enigmatic and upright anthropological investigation reports, Barley, with his humorous and optimistic character, turns the pain and suffering, danger and hostility encountered in field work, and various collisions with foreign cultures into interesting and hilarious notes of joy through witty and relaxed writing.
