Reseña del editor
When 23-year-old Benedict Allen ventured alone into the jungle between the Orinoco and the Amazon, he was entering unexpected territory from which no white man had ever returned. Against all odds, he won acceptance among the Indians, learning from them the secrets of jungle survival. But when admiration gave way to greed and mutiny, Allen was forced to flee for his life. This book recounts his experiences.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
Contraportada
'Mr Allen undertook one of the Last Great Adventures left: to journey between the mouth of the Orinoco and the Amazon, one and a half thousand miles as the vulture flies, through jungle inhabited by eccentric prospectors and gullible Indians. He has written a marvellous book.
PETER HILLMORE, 'Literary Review'
'Thoroughly enjoyable and frequently very funny... As he makes his picaresque journey, Mr Allen encounters just about every horror imaginable: carnivorous fish, blood-thirsty jaguars, dead bodies (human and animal), vampire bats, scorpions, ants, parasites and mosquitoes.'
NEW YORK TIMES
'The age of adventure is far from dead so long as people like Benedict Allen tread the earth.'
IAN HAMILTON, 'Yorkshire Evening Post'
'Levels of literary comedy and pathos rarely achieved outside the novel. It is an irresistibly absorbing story both for its warm humanity and affection for the Indians and for its understated but serious warnings about the various threats to their primitive way of life.'
