    But for the first time ever, among the boys lying on the ground in a jungle clearing, their bodies painted and smeared with blood, there is a White man, an anthropology student who arrived here a few months earlier. This is the opening scene of a personal story told by Luis Devin, containing accounts of the secret rituals he underwent with the Baka Pygmies in order to be accepted as a member of their group and to allow him to share with them the secrets of the forest.
