Don't Sleep There Are Snakes - Daniel Everett

Don’t Sleep, There Are Snakes: Life and Language in the Amazonian Jungle by Daniel Everett.


This is a gripping and highly acclaimed memoir of a missionary turned linguist who spent 30 years living with the Pirahã tribe in the Amazon. Everett describes a culture that has no numbers, no fixed terms for color, and lives entirely in the present. Part adventure story and part scientific exploration, it’s a fascinating look at a way of life that ultimately changed the author’s own beliefs and challenged long-held theories about language.
