"Jungle Rudy" moves between biography, history, anthropology and
travel. Rudy Truffino was a legendary figure who established a
civilization in the heart of the jungle, performed opera, and
became one of the natives. When in 1956 he became lost in the
rainforest of the Orinocco in Venezuela, the Pemon Indians saved
him from death by starvation and he became immersed in their
culture. He helped establish a National Park in the area and led
many expeditions to the Auyan Tepi. Jan Brokken follows in his
footsteps to discover the real Rudy Truffino.
Jan Brokken is one of Holland's most highly regarded writers
with a passion for travel. He has published novels as well as
travel narratives and literary journalism.
