Description
A classic of travel literature, this ostensibly lighthearted account of a Londoner's first ocean voyage also offers a journalistic report on the first successful passage through the Amazon River and its tributary, the Madeira, by an English tramp steamer. "Accurate and difficult to improve upon." - Peter Matthiessen.
Author Biography
