By Percy Harrison Fawcett, Brian Fawcett, Colonel Percy Fawcett, et al.

Book Overview

Exploration Fawcett: Journey to the Lost City of Z is the extraordinary true account of Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett's daring expeditions into the uncharted jungles of South America in the early 20th century.

A decorated British explorer and legendary figure in the annals of exploration, Fawcett sought a lost ancient city-referred to as "Z"-believed to lie deep within the Amazon.

Drawn from Fawcett's own letters, journals, and field reports, this gripping narrative recounts perilous treks through dense rainforests, encounters with remote tribes, and brushes with death, all fueled by a relentless obsession with discovering the unknown.

Edited by his son, Brian Fawcett, this foundational work inspired generations of adventurers and provided the basis for numerous books and films, including The Lost City of Z.

At once a historical document and a thrilling adventure, Exploration Fawcett captures the spirit of an age when the world still had blank spaces-and men were willing to risk everything to fill them.
