For four years, Richard Winer researched the "Devil's Triangle" before publishing the book itself. He sailed his sailboat Running Bowline to all the perimeters of that area, flew over it with an airplane and descended to the seabed at a depth of 400 meter
At once a modern classic of travel literature and a gripping adventure story, Stranger in the Woods provides a rare and intimate look at the vanishing way of life of one of the last surviving groups of rainforest dwellers.
