BRITISH explorer and Amazon aficionado John Hemming steers us through a history of the world鈥檚 greatest river basin. It鈥檚 a narrative rich in extraordinary characters and events. Whether describing pre-conquest civilisations, the barbarity of the arriving westerners, or contrasting the rubber-era city opulence with the genocidal horrors accompanying rubber鈥檚 extraction, Hemming鈥檚 empathy and admiration for Amazonia鈥檚 indigenous peoples shines through. The book is a tour de force, nearly as rich and fascinating as the place itself.
