Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. 234 pp. First U.S. edition. Armchair adventure travel to the Amazon, Brazil. Binding tight; boards clean; dust jacket with minute wear; otherwise a fine copy. Publisher's complimentary copy (stamped inside front cover). Four people?three men and a woman?who hardly know each other and have nothing in common but their love of adventure, set out in a small boat to explore the mighty Amazon River, from its source high in the Peruvian Andes, through the jungles of Brazil, to the mouth of the river some 4,000 miles away. What they sought was a testing of their characters and physical endurance in the excitement of danger met and overcome and the thrill of discovery during a perilous voyage. What they found were as yet unconquered frontiers within themselves?explosive human emotions?which in the end proved to be more menacing to the expedition than all the river's awesome natural dangers and the sometimes hostile encounters along its shores. A unique and honest account of a real-life adventure no one had ever undertaken before. . . The author is an experienced adventurer who runs the John Ridgway School of Adventure in Sutherland, Scotland. Size: 21 x 14 cm. 0.0. Seller Inventory # 1861
