Buchbeschreibung Zustand: Sehr gut. 307 S. Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - n 1982 I journeyed to the Ecuadorian doud forest where the Incas hid seven hundred tons of gold from the plundering conquistadors. I climbed to the treasure lake in the Llanganati Cordillera in the Andes "even when it seemed impossible to touch the gold with my own hands, which were not the same hands as those of the treasure hunters I came to know over the years- men who never doubt they will be the first to fondle that ancient metal. "Yet I'm certain the gold is still there in those bewitching mountains, and someone will soon discover it. The history convinces me, the treasure hunters themselves convinced me, and I want to believe. I yearn for the mystery of this treasure tale. "Perhaps the Inca hoard lies buried beneath tons of rock under the lake, as the great treasure hunter, Brunner, told me before he died-an artificial lake pinpointed at 14,500 feet on his topographic map-the very lake on which I camped in the fog and endless cold for days of freezing rain. Yet I myself stood on the brink of that Inca lake and learned that gold is also a longing in the heart. This story is my treasure."
