Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett, the inspiration behind Conan
Doyle's novel The Lost World, was among the last of a legendary
breed of British explorers. For years he explored the Amazon and
came to believe that its jungle concealed a large, complex
civilization, like El Dorado. Obsessed with its discovery, he
christened it the City of Z. In 1925, Fawcett headed into the
wilderness with his son Jack, vowing to make history. They vanished
without a trace. For the next eighty years, hordes of explorers
plunged into the jungle, trying to find evidence of Fawcett's party
or Z. Some died from disease and starvation; others simply
disappeared. In this spellbinding true tale of lethal obsession,
David Grann retraces the footsteps of Fawcett and his followers as
he unravels one of the greatest mysteries of exploration.
