Marina Chapman
Als peuter wordt Marina Chapman ontvoerd en alleen in een oerwoud achtergelaten. Ze sluit zich aan bij een groep kapucijnapen, die haar leren overleven. Vijf jaar lang kopieert ze hun gedrag: eet wat zij eten, drinkt wat zij drinken, leert hun taal en klimt de hoogste bomen in. Dat is haar redding. Langzamerhand verliest ze echter elk besef van mens-zijn, totdat ze na vijf jaar door jagers wordt ontdekt, die haar meenemen naar de bewoonde wereld, waar ze nog jarenlang als straatkind leeft. Uiteindelijk is Marina Chapman een ‘gewoon mens’ geworden. Ze woont nu in Engeland, heeft een man, twee dochters en drie kleinkinderen. Haar verhaal is opgetekend door haar jongste dochter Vanessa, die haar leven lang al door haar moeder geïnspireerd wordt. Vanessa schaamt zich inmiddels niet meer als haar moeder plotseling in een boom klimt. Op bol.com vind je alle boeken van Marina Chapman, waaronder het nieuwste boek van Marina Chapman.
Samenvatting
"
In 1954, in a remote mountain village in South America, a little girl was abducted. She was four years old. Marina Chapman was stolen from her housing estate and then abandoned deep in the Colombian jungle. That she survived is a miracle. Two days later, half-drugged, terrified, and starving, she came upon a troop of capuchin monkeys. Acting entirely on instinct, she tried to do what they did: she ate what they ate and copied their actions, and little by little, learned to fend for herself.
So begins the story of her five years among the monkeys, during which time she gradually became feral; she lost the ability to speak, lost all inhibition, lost any real sense of being human, replacing the structure of human society with the social mores of her new simian family. But society was eventually to reclaim her. At age ten she was discovered by a pair of hunters who took her to the lawless Colombian city of Cucuta where, in exchange for a parrot, they sold her to a brothel. When she learned that she was to be groomed for prostitution, she made her plans to escape. But her adventure wasn t over yet... In the vein of ""Slumdog Millionaire"" and ""City of God,"" this rousing story of a lost child who overcomes the dangers of the wild and the brutality of the streets to finally reclaim her life will astonish readers everywhere """
