The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon

Cordwainer from Melville

The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon
David Grann

Vintage Books, 2017 edition.

Very good condition.

In 1925, the legendary British explorer Percy Fawcett ventured into the Amazon jungle, in search of a fabled civilization. He never returned. Over the years countless perished trying to find evidence of his party and the place he called “The Lost City of Z.”

In this masterpiece of narrative non-fiction, journalist David Grann interweaves the spellbinding stories of Fawcett’s quest for “Z” and his own journey into the deadly jungle, as he unravels the greatest exploration mystery of the twentieth century.

“The story of Z goes to the heart of the central questions of our age. In the battle between man and a hostile environment, who wins? A fascinating and brilliant book.” —Malcolm Gladwell

Price: $8
