It began with an advertisement in the agony column of The Times: Leaving England June, to explore rivers Central Brazil, if possible ascertain fate Colonel Fawcett; abundance game, big and small; exceptional fishing; room two more guns. Colonel Fawcett and his son Jack had embarked on a journey in 1925 in search of a supposed lost city and were never seen again. This expedition was too much of a temptation for Peter Fleming, a young journalist with energy and an appetite for adventure. The journey, which begins in a reckless spirit of can-do frivolity, slowly darkens into something very personal and deeply testing for which Rider Haggard might have written the plot and Conrad designed the scenery. Fleming recounts it in brilliant prose, leavening the danger with humour and honesty.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Leaving England June, to explore rivers Central Brazil, if possible ascertain fate Colonel Fawcett; abundance game, big and small: exceptional fishing; room for two more guns' - read the advertisement in the Agony column of The Times. Colonel Fawcett and his son Jack had embarked on a journey in the summer of 1925 in search of a Lost World, and were never seen again. This was altogether too much of a temptation for a young man with energy and in search for adventure. It is a journey which begins in a reckless spirit of can-do frivolity, but will slowly darken into something very personal and deeply testing, 'for which Rider Haggard might have written the plot and Conrad designed the scenery'.
