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


finished 02.08.11

Pretty good book, though my attention did flounder a little in the middle. The book tells the true story of a British explorer who was obsessed with finding a Amazonian civilization (Z) that may or may not have existed at all. In 1925 the explorer disappeared, never to be seen again. The author ends up travelling to the Amazon and finding more information about the mysterious disappearance and Z.
