Product Description

Product Description

'He wrote like an angel - a fallen angel...a marvelous prose stylist' - "Irish Times". 'Who in his sense will read, still less buy, a travel book of no scientific value about a place he has no intention of visiting?'. Waugh provides the answer to his own question in this entertaining chronicle of a South American journey. In it, he describes the isolated cattle country of Guiana, sparsely populated by a bizarre collection of visionaries, rogues and ranchers, and records his nightmarish experiences traveling on foot, by horse and by boat through the jungle into Brazil. He debunks the romantic notions attached to rough traveling - his trip is difficult, dangerous and extremely uncomfortable - and his acute and witty observations in this marvelous travelogue give his reader 'a share in the experience of travel'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good read!, 12 Oct 2009
This review is from: Ninety-two Days: A Journey in Guiana and Brazil, 1932 (Paperback)
Saw the book advertised in the travel section of a newspaper one day, so decided to purchase it. Am still reading through it, but its a brilliant read,with some humourous moments. If you like reading about adventure, this book has plenty of it. But so far, am very happy with it.
