It began with an advertisement in the agony column of The Times:
Leaving England June, to explore rivers Central Brazil, if possible
ascertain fate Colonel Fawcett; abundance game, big and small;
exceptional fishing; room two more guns. Colonel Fawcett and his
son Jack had embarked on a journey in 1925 in search of a supposed
lost city and were never seen again. This expedition was too much
of a temptation for Peter Fleming, a young journalist with energy
and an appetite for adventure. The journey, which begins in a
reckless spirit of can-do frivolity, slowly darkens into something
very personal and deeply testing for which Rider Haggard might have
written the plot and Conrad designed the scenery. Fleming recounts
it in brilliant prose, leavening the danger with humour and
honesty.
