Rendition Toward Books Exploration Fawcett

The mystic and legendary British explorer Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett disappeared in the unknown and unexplored territory of Brazil's Mato Grosso in 1925. For 10 years, he had wandered the forests and death-filled rivers in search of a "lost" cities; convinced he knew the location of one, he headed off for the last time--never to be heard from again. The thrilling story of what occurred during that time has now been compiled by his son from manuscripts, letters, and logbooks. What happened to him after remains a mystery. "...should be read by everyone."--Daily Telegraph.

Notice Based On Books Exploration Fawcett

Great story, concise yet interesting storytelling. Second-to-last chapter was a dated and dubious ethnology and history. The rest was an exploration tale that's written in an understated way but is more thrilling (and dangerous) than is to be imagined. Really a nifty book.

I enjoyed most of this book. Some of the details of each expedition are repetitive but found the descriptions of the people, their homes and their lives very interesting. The author also provides colorful historical, plant and animal information. On one of his returns to his home in England he met Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and recounted some of his adventures and observations to him.

This is the book and the life that provided the inspiration for Lost City of Z -- it's a great read in the adventure parts, though it bogs down a bit in the last quarter when Fawcett is discussing the history of the native people of Brazil. Jack's letters, at the end, are particularly poignant, as is Brian's discussion of the failed searches for his father and brother.Honestly, if I were you, I would go read Lost City of Z. If you LOVED that book, like I did, then read this. But don't read this

I really liked 'The Lost City of Z' written by David Grann and I wanted to learn more so I picked up this book that has been put together by Fawcett's youngest son Brian from his notes and letters.Fawcett gives an extremely detailed description of his explorations in the Amazon. You learn more about the Indians, their way of life, the flora and fauna, the food, diseases etc. 'The Lost City of Z' left me with some questions and in this book I'm glad I found the answers. So it definitely added to

I've read a number of earnest reviews of this book elsewhere, touting it as a great "true adventure" story, which never fails to amuse me: Fawcett was a crack-pot par excellence! He traipsed off into the Brazilian wilderness, eventually never to be heard of again, in search of a mythic lost civilization that he firmly believed was similar to Atlantis. Furthermore, he believed this civilization consisted of an ancient race of white-skinned, blue-eyed Indians.This idea, of course, had much in
