| Summary |
International bestseller. She escaped death twice. It was supposed to be the beginning of the Christmas holidays - and 91 people died in death: Flight 508, which crashed over the Peruvian rainforest on December 24, 1971. Only the then 17-year-old Juliane, who was sitting next to her mother in the machine, survived. Behind her lay a childhood in the jungle - surrounded by wild animals and tropical plants. During this time Juliane had learned the laws of the rainforest. She knew the sounds, knew which animals could be dangerous and which could point the way to civilization. The injured girl struggled through the thicket for eleven days - without a compass or map. Now, after four decades, Juliane Koepcke has found the strength to tell about the crash, which she miraculously survived. In this audiobook we learn their stirring story: - of what her unusual childhood in the wilderness taught her; - how the tropical rainforest became a school of survival for them; - how the commitment to the jungle became a lifelong task for them. Juliane Koepcke, born in 1954, grew up in Lima and in the jungle, where her parents founded the Panguana research station. She works with a PhD in biology at the Zoological State Collection in Munich and returns to Peru every year. Today she heads the research station and the Panguana nature reserve.
