Do Not Come Any Closer (Book)

The book is the authentic statement of the lowland Korowai Batu nomads at the moment the first contact occurred. It also features a comprehensive selection of stories narrated by the Yali Mek mountain tribe. Its material can symbolically be considered a probe into the souls of the last indigenous people on this planet before they come under the influence of our civilisation.
