A great book to read in this context:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.co.uk&#x2F;Dont-Sleep-There-are-Snakes&#x2F;dp&#x2F;1846680409&#x2F;ref=sr_1_1" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.co.uk&#x2F;Dont-Sleep-There-are-Snakes&#x2F;dp&#x2F;18466...</a><p>or indeed, any context. It&#x27;s a fabulous book about the good and bad in societies untouched by civilization, and about one man&#x27;s attempts to understand a language with no reference points. And his struggle with his Christian mission, ending up in his atheism. It&#x27;s got everything, and would make a great film.
