Description
The author was a missionary who spent time living with the Pirahas people in the Amazonian jungle. He gradually learned their language and realized that their way of life and their perceptions of the world were very different from those of people in the outside world.
Although the author was a missionary, far from converting the Pirahas, they converted him. This title shows the slow, meticulous steps by which he gradually mastered their language and his gradual realisation that its unusual nature closely reflected its speakers' startlingly original perceptions of the world.
