Brazilian Adventure

Peter Fleming

'Leaving England June, to explore rivers Central Brazil, if possible ascertain fate Colonel Fawcett; abundance game, big and small: exceptional fishing; room for two more guns' - read the advertisement in the Agony column of The Times.

Colonel Fawcett and his son Jack had embarked on a journey in the summer of 1925 in search of a Lost World, and were never seen again. This was altogether too much of a temptation for a young man with energy and in search for adventure. It is a journey which begins in a reckless spirit of can-do frivolity, but will slowly darken into something very personal and deeply testing, 'for which Rider Haggard might have written the plot and Conrad designed the scenery'.
