The Lure of The Amazon – Eduardo Barros Prado
Short Description
First published in Spanish, this the first English edition published by the superb Adventurers Club, London in 1959.
Octavo, 175 pages, illustrated from expedition photographs. A little age – still a very good copy.
Prado already had a reputation as a guide to the Hamilton Rice expedition. In this ‘adventure’ he traces the Amazon tribe of women once regarded as mythical. Hunting jaguar seems like an everyday activity – but comes with its own obvious dangers. Then there are the cannibal Indians – best avoided. And, the girl with the red hair and the man who made “special coffee”.
The Amazon much more than an online mass market retailer of unwarranted unwanted goods.
