Sacred Monkey River: a Canoe Trip With the Gods
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
- Publish date: 08/01/2000
Christopher Shaw (a skilled canoeist and former whitewater guide) has traveled these rivers by canoe, penetrating to the heart of an ancient and awe-inspiring landscape, and -- despite near-death in a rapid, the Zapatista uprising in Chiapas, and the murderous activities of drug lords along the river -- he brings back to us a beautifully told and important tale.
In a book that is a fitting heir to Bruce Chatwin's Songlines, Barry Lopez's Arctic Dreams, and Peter Matthiessen's The Snow Leopard, Shaw brings together the thrill of adventure travel with profound historical knowledge, the acute eye of a naturalist, breathtaking prose, and an intuitive gift for the spiritual resonances of the past to be found in earthly realities.
