...BOOKS ON THE AMAZON BASIN

For those interested in the mighty Amazon Basin,
an area that I personally know and through which I have traveled.

THE RIVERS RAN EAST
Leonard Clarke When reading about this mysterious area of the world, this is my hand's down winner.

AT PLAY
IN THE FIELDS OF THE LORD
Peter Matthiessen Set in a malarial outpost of the South American jungle, Matthiessen's electrifying moral thriller follows the clash between two misplaced gringos: Martin Quarrier, who has come to convert the local Indians to Christianity, and Lewis Moon, a half-Indian mercenary who has been hired to kill them.

THE YAGE LETTERS
William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg Letters from Burroughs to Ginsberg written from the interior of the Colombian amazon Basin on his quest for a magic vision. This book is written from the dirt floor on up.

HEAD HUNTERS AND HUMMINGBIRDS
Published by Walker & Co A journalist-photographer describes his adventures on an expedition for ornithological research into the Cutucu Mountains of inner Ecuador.

100 YEARS OF SOLITUDE
Gabriel Garcia Marquez "This book is a debatably fictitious freeze-frame of the unrecognized Colombian lowlands people's previously oral history. What you may consider magical may well be considered reality by the people you are reading about - don't belittle it as a quixotic author's imagination. Circular timeline and Spanish names consistently flummox English readers." __lgretep@juno.com
This wonderful tale will wrap you in the magic and mysteries of the South American experience.
