Redmond O'Hanlon is a good travel writer, bringing the reader into his canoe as he faces a torrent of dangers and unpleasant situations. His British humour is very well placed in presenting some of the absurb situations he gets himself into. Especially with Simon as his sidekick (which gives the reader a somewhat normal view of things), the story is quite captivating. Ref YYY 4.

DESCRIPTION - Redmond O'Hanlon's recent INTO THE HEART OF BORNEO was praised by Eric Newby as 'certainly the funniest travel book I have ever read: ' And the Washington Post reviewer wrote, 'O'Hanlon, the larking naturalist, is mostly exhilaration. intelligent, informative and amusing: ' and concluded, 'I want more from O'Hanlon, who is reportedly afloat on the Amazon: ' The man whom Jonathan Raban has called 'the great traveler-survivor of tropical snakes, hostile tribes of South American Indians'-has now returned from this expedition, a four-month trip up the Orinoco River and across the Amazon basin. O'Hanlon encountered, in addition to the usual tropical complaints, such exotic hazards as river blindness and the AIDS-like Chagas' disease, not to mention jaguars, anacondas, and the dread toothpick-fish. But in his insatiable quest for natural oddities, and his attempt to find a route through uncharted river systems, O'Hanlon discovered that the most volatile elements were his nearly pathological British photographer and his Spanish and Indian crew-even more so than the Yanomami tribesmen, reported to be 'the most violent people on earth' and their drug of choice, yoppo. IN TROUBLE AGAIN, as The New York Review of Books wrote of its predecessor, is 'a learned and sensitive book as well as a knockabout farce: ' In the tradition of the great nineteenth- century explorers and naturalists, O'Hanlon has yet again penetrated a hidden, remote corner of the earth, and his adventure will educate, amuse, and horrify even the most jaded contemporary reader. 'When Evelyn Waugh, Robert Byron, Peter Fleming and Graham Greene travelled, the going was still rough (Waugh said 'good'). Journeys had to be improvised, day by day, without the benefit of travel agents. Pistols, machetes and tents were essential items of luggage. For writers of my generation it has been very different-although Redmond O'Hanlon, hacking his way up an unmapped tributary of the Amazon, fearful (and not without good reason) of ending his days in someone's cooking pot, has managed to keep that tradition alive' - Jonathan Raban. Redmond O'Hanlon is the natural history editor of The Times Literary Supplement and a fellow of the Royal Geographic Society. Born in 1947 and educated at Oxford, he is the author of JOSEPH CONRAD AND CHARLES DARWIN: THE INFLUENCE OF SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT ON CONRAD'S FICTION and the classic account of his expedition with the poet lames Fenton, INTO THE HEART OF BORNEO. He lives in Oxford with his wife, Belinda, their daughter, Puffin, and their son, Galen. inventory #11404. Signed by the Author.
