About this product

Product Information

**NOW A MAJOR FILM STARRING ROBERT PATTINSON, CHARLIE HUNNAM AND SIENNA MILLER** 'A riveting, exciting and thoroughly compelling tale of adventure'JOHN GRISHAM The story of Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett, the inspiration behind Conan Doyle's The Lost World Fawcett 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. 'A wonderful story of a lost age of heroic exploration' Sunday Times 'Marvellous ... An engrossing book whose protagonist could out-think Indiana Jones' Daily Telegraph 'The best story in the world, told perfectly' Evening Standard 'A fascinating and brilliant book' Malcolm Gladwell

The Best Fawcett Biography So Far
Colonel Percy Fawcett, with his son Jack and a friend, disappeared somewhere in Brazil in 1925. There is agreement on that, if on little else. He was reportedly in search of a lost city, possibly the fabled Eldorado of the Conquistadores, of whose existence he had convinced himself and a number of other people. Since 1928 numerous expeditions have set out; either to rescue Fawcett, who may have been being held as a prisoner by Amerindians, or, failing that, to discover his mortal remains and ascertain what had happened to him. None has been successful. Up to 100 people may have perished in the course of this search. This book helpfully reviews Fawcett's life-story, his various expeditions and the expeditions that sought him. No firm conclusion can now be reached, but it seems likely that ... Colonel Percy Fawcett, with his son Jack and a friend, disappeared somewhere in Brazil in 1925. There is agreement on that, if on little else. He was reportedly in search of a lost city, possibly the fabled Eldorado of the Conquistadores, of whose existence he had convinced himself and a number of other people. Since 1928 numerous expeditions have set out; either to rescue Fawcett, who may have been being held as a prisoner by Amerindians, or, failing that, to discover his mortal remains and ascertain what had happened to him. None has been successful. Up to 100 people may have perished in the course of this search. This book helpfully reviews Fawcett's life-story, his various expeditions and the expeditions that sought him. No firm conclusion can now be reached, but it seems likely that he and his companions were killed by Indians who had every reason to be suspicious of white people. Nevertheless... there were persistent reports of an old white man being held captive by Indians. One such report, by a Swiss adventurer, Monsieur Rattin, seemed very convincing, although the old man in question might have been someone other than Fawcett. Rattin led a further expedition with the aim of rescuing the old man; he too disappeared and his fate remains unknown. The book clears up some uncertainties but come to no definite conclusion. We shall probably never know the answer. It is of interest that Fawcett never dismissed South American Indians as ignorant savages; he believed that they were capable of evolving an advanced civilization; had done so in the past and in other places than just Mexico and Peru. There remains the tantalising possibility that more interesting sites comparable to Machu Picchu may yet be discovered, although odd rocky features in the jungle can look misleadingly like ruins.
