Euphoria by Lily King (Perseu) torrent

For years, English anthropologist Andrew Bankson has been alone
in the field studying the Kiona tribe of Papua, New Guinea. Haunted
by the memory of his brother’s public suicide, and increasingly
infuriated with and isolated by his research, Bankson is on the
verge of killing himself when a chance meeting with colleagues,
the controversial and consummate Nell Stone and her wry Australian
husband Fen, pulls him back from the brink. Nell and Fen have just
finished their studies of the bloodthirsty Mumbanyo and, in spite
of Nell’s ill health, the couple is ravenous for another new
discovery. Together with Bankson they set out to uncover the Tam,
a local tribe with an almost mythic existence. As the trio settle
with the tribe in their paradisiacal surroundings, inspiration
flows and mutual affections swell. In the midst of this new,
unchartered territory, Nell, Bankson, and Fen must learn not only
to adapt to their invigorating present, but to also confront their
complicated and haunted pasts.
