In 1932, Peter Fleming joined a search for the celebrated English adventurer Colonel P.H. Fawcett, missing for five years in the jungles of central Brazil.
With meager supplies, faulty maps, and rival newspapermen hot on their trail, Fleming and his companions marched through 3000 miles of savage country toward an uncertain rendezvous with the lost colonel.
BRAZILIAN ADVENTURE is one of Peter Fleming's finest works. It is as fresh today as when first published in 1933, with the added advantage that it gives an authentic picture of an upper-class Englishman on the loose between the wars.
