Description

Four Corners is Kira Salak's riveting account of her epic, solo jungle trek across the remote Pacific island nation of Papua New Guineaoften called the last frontier of adventure travel.

Traveling by dugout canoe and on foot, confronting the dangers and wonders of a largely untouched world, she became the first woman to traverse PNG. Salak stayed in villages where cannibalism was still practiced behind the backs of the missionaries, meeting mysterious witch doctors and befriending the leader of the Free Papua guerrilla movement (OPM), who fought against the Indonesian occupation of Western New Guinea.

The New York Times Book Review selected Four Corners as a Notable Travel Book of the Year, writing, Kira Salak is tough, a real-life Lara Croft. Book Magazine called her the gutsiestand some say craziestwoman adventurer of our day. Edward Marriott proclaimed Four Corners to be a travel book that transcends the genre. It is, like all the best travel narratives, a resonant interior journey, and offers wisdom for our times.

Now published as an eBook for the first time by Restless Books, Four Corners: A Journey into the Heart of Papua New Guinea is a must-read for world travelers and adventurous spirits.
