"Lily King's 'Euphoria' is a thrilling atmospheric novel filled with exoticism and passion, awarded multiple literary prizes. Set in 1933, the story follows a young Englishman named Andrew Bankson who leads a solitary life on the Sepik River in one of the tribes in New Guinea, attempting to describe and understand the fundamentals of the locals' way of life. Feeling like a failure, he makes his first steps in anthropology, doubting his ability to make a significant contribution to the new science. One day, he encounters a couple of his colleagues, Nell and Fen, a married pair who travel from one wild tribe to another, gathering information. Unlike Bankson, they have achieved considerable success. Fen is intelligent, energetic, and full of adventurous ideas. His wife Nell is a true star of anthropology and the author of a groundbreaking scientific work. For several months, Bankson, Nell, and Fen work together and find themselves entangled in a complex web of love, jealousy, ambition, envy, and adventurism. As the only representatives of Western civilization in the stifling jungles, they strive to comprehend the incomprehensible, mysterious culture while struggling to understand themselves. The book is inspired by the story of the renowned anthropologist Margaret Mead. Lily King has received several literary awards for her novel 'Euphoria,' which has been translated into many languages and is currently being adapted for the screen. Press reviews of the book: 'Euphoria' is simultaneously romantic, exotic, informative, and engaging. - Reader's Digest Captivating. Just as Conrad established the genre of the crimes of the Western man, in Lily King's insightful, romantic book, this theme finds a resonant parallel: in the beauty and cruelty of others, we discover our desire to possess all of it. - Vogue 'Euphoria' pays tribute to the restless mind of the great scientist Margaret Mead, offering an unusual portrait of anthropology. However, it is also a dense, witty, highly intelligent story about selfishness and desires, unfolding against an exotic and dangerous backdrop. This novel is not only intellectual but also erotic. Lily King has created a powerful drama that arises from the human desire to understand. Her intricate moral dilemmas are astonishing. - New York Times Book Review."
