Description:
In his famously ironic style, Peter Fleming writes in the introduction to Brazilian Adventure, "Beyond the completion of a 3,000-mile journey, mostly under amusing conditions, through a little-known part of the world, and the discovery of one new tributary to a tributary to a tributary of the Amazon, nothing of importance was achieved." Nothing indeed.
Expand description
Fleming, a literary editor, discarded his pen for a pistol in 1932 to engage in the celebrated search for an English adventurer, Colonel P. H. Fawcett, missing in the jungles of central Brazil. With meager supplies, faulty maps, and rival newspapermen hot on their trail, Fleming and his companions marched, fought, and canoed through 3,000 miles of savage country and alligator-ridden rivers toward the uncertain fate of the lost colonel and one of the great adventure stories of all time. Brazilian Adventure tells a story as fresh today as it was when originally published in 1933. Fleming is a master of his form.
