Synopsis

This is an account of a trip up the Orinoco river and across the Amazon basin in which the author discovered that poisonous snakes and life-threatening diseases were not the greatest hazards on such a journey - his photographer and the Spanish and Indian crew were the most volatile elements. Redmond O'Hanlon is the author of "Into the Heart of Borneo", a journey on which he was accompanied by the poet James Fenton, who swore afterwards that he would never travel with O'Hanlon again.

About this title

About the Author:

Redmond O'Hanlon is an explorer in the nineteenth-century mould. In addition to his four bestselling travel books, Into the Heart of Borneo, In Trouble Again, Congo Journey and Trawler, he has published scholarly works on nineteenth-century science and literature. For fifteen years he was the Natural History editor of the Times Literary Supplement. He lives outside Oxford with his wife and two children.

From the Inside Flap:

O'Hanlon takes us into the bug-ridden rain forest between the Orinoco and the Amazon--infested with jaguars and piranhas, where men would kill over a bottle of ketchup and where the locals may be the most violent people on earth (next to hockey fans).
