Product Description

Redmond O'Hanlon found few experienced adventurers willing to accompany him on his four-month trip up the Orinoco river and across the Amazon Basin. He wondered why...Was it perhaps the fear of contracting dysentery, rabies or river blindness? Or maybe it was a disinclination to meet peckish jaguars, vipers, anacondas and 640-volt electric eels? Surely it couldn't possibly be reluctance to swim among giant catfish, with their relatively harmless penchant for nipping off a person's feet? Fortunately, an old friend volunteered, having absolutely no idea what he was letting himself in for. But, then O'Hanlon didn't have much idea either. How the intrepid ornithologist and his sidekick managed to survive some serious travelling trouble makes for gripping, and hilarious, reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars A gripping and humorous trek to the heart of the Amazon, 29 Jan 2001

By	Jkholubecki-france (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Redmond O'Hanlon takes himself (and us) on an incredible journey of exploration and adventure into the deepest outreaches of the Amazon jungle. A subtle blend of daring, courage and downright bloody-mindedness is conveyed in this enthralling account of travel well off the beaten track. O'Hanlon would appear to have the ideal characteristics of a twentieth century explorer - namely a sense of humour and a willingness to communicate on any level with any peoples, even the ferociously depicted Yanomami tribes of the great South American interior. He is not afraid to test his luck, to continue in the face of despair, to eat whatever is given to him! He is even given to dabble in the height of male Yanomami social pastime - an occasional snort of Yanomami yoppo! O'Hanlon fuels his adventurous ego somewhat with frightening accounts of the Yanomami tribes as he makes his way up-river to his first encounters with these legendary people, but then one must remember that he has actually done this trip, that it is not fiction, that we are comfortably installed in a comfy armchair.... Not exactly an anthropological triumph, but a very easy and entertaining book on a little known about part of the world.
