Kadjaman

"Kadjaman" by H. De Vere Stacpoole is an adventure story that takes place in Borneo, where nature and humanity clash. The story centers on a boy named Ting and his unusual relationship with an orangutan, Kadjaman. After Kadjaman escapes, he takes Ting into the jungle, leading Ting's father, Tuan Marop, on a dangerous rescue mission into the wilderness. The narrative follows Tuan's journey raising thought-provoking questions about human nature, instinct, and what happens when the natural world has a strong influence. Ultimately, it shows the complicated connections between family and the primal aspects found in both humans and animals.
