Descripción

8vo [23.5 x 16 cm]; xvi, 332 pp, frontis (portrait), illus from drawings from Brian Fawcett, illus from photos, maps, glossary, index. orig two-part boards, dj (chipped at edges, not price clipped), very good, interior clean and unmarked. A picture of this book is available upon request by email. The first account of the seven expeditions of Fawcett in the jungles of Brazil and Bolivia between 1906 and 1925. On his eighth expedition, Fawcett disappeared with his companions in Brazil in 1925. There have been a number of attempts to solve the mystery of his disappearance, including one by Peter Fleming, which became the book, 'Brazilian Adventure'. The book contains much on nature and natives. Fawcett believed in the existence of ruins of Indian cities in the unmapped jungles of South America that would confirm the many Indian legends. Published the same year as the first London edition, which was entitled 'Exploration Fawcett' and was identical in all other respects, it has become a classic exploration account of the Amazon area. Goodman 843: 'The complete, bizarre story.'
