Publisher's Synopsis
Narcisse Pelletier is a French sailor who finds himself abandoned on the coast of Australia in 1858. Given up for dead by his shipmates, Narcisse is subsequently welcomed by an Aboriginal tribe who allow him to integrate into their community. 17 years later he is found again, having apparently forgotten everything about his original identity. Octave de Vallombrun, a well-meaning geographer, takes Narcisse under his wing and sets out to bring 'the white savage' back to civilisation.
