PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
A journalist and adventurer, Peter Fleming sets off for Brazil on a 3,000-mile quest through the Amazon in a celebrated search for a missing English colonel in this classic and very entertaining account, first published in 1933. Only a British explorer, albeit unintentionally, could be as ill-prepared and deadpan about such an adventure. He never did find Fawcett.
