Rent Brazilian Adventure (Marlboro Travel)

Synopsis

Beyond the completion of a 3,000-mile journey, mostly under amusing conditions, through a little-known part of the world, and the discovery of one new tributary to a tributary to a tributary of the Amazon, nothing of importance was achieved.'

Nothing indeed. In 1932, Peter Fleming, a literary editor (and the brother of Ian Fleming), traded his pen for a pistol to engage in the celebrated search for English adventurer Colonel P. H. Fawcett, who had gone missing in the jungles of central Brazil. With meager supplies, faulty maps, and a pack of rival newspapermen on their trail, Fleming and his companions marched, canoed, and fought through 3,000 miles of savage wilderness and alligator-ridden rivers in search of the fate of the lost colonel. One of the great adventure stories (one might even call it a ripping tale) 'Brazilian Adventure' is as fresh a story today as it was when originally published in 1933.
