Better known for his ornithological memoirs, this novel by Hudson is a classic tale of "travels and adventures among the savages." Read it for its absurdly lush prose, excellent natural history and the much romanticized meeting of an educated European and Rima, a birdlike local girl from the jungle. Very much a product of its time (it was first published in 1904), this is probably the best known work of fiction set in the Amazon.
