The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon
After stumbling upon a hidden trove of diaries, 'New Yorker' writer David Grann set out to solve the greatest exploration mystery of the twentieth century: What happened to the British explorer Percy Fawcett and his quest for the Lost City of Z . . . ?
A grand mystery reaching back centuries, a sensational disappearance that made headlines around the world, and a quest for truth that leads to death, madness or disappearance for those who seek to solve it, The Lost City of Z is a blockbuster adventure narrative about what lies beneath the impenetrable jungle canopy of the Amazon.
"Grann brings Fawcett’s remarkable story to a beautifully written, perfectly paced fruition. Any writer who can breathe life into letters written by scientists in the early 1900s deserves more than a hat tip.” -- The Los Angeles Times
