Download The Sea and the Jungle AudioBook Free
Considered a masterpiece of travel books for nearly a hundred years, The Sea and the Jungle is a smart and witty publication of firsts: ostensibly a lighthearted tale of an Londoner's first sea voyage, additionally it is a carefully made journalistic account of the first successful ascent of the Amazon River and its tributary, the Madeira, by an English steamer. First printed in 1912, The Sea and the Jungle remains one of the very most popular accounts of an traveler's experience in Amazonia. As Peter Matthiessen observed fifty years later, " The Sea and the Jungle is one of the few level-headed works in the books of this region. . . . exact and difficult to boost upon."
