A gripping and humorous trek to the heart of the Amazon January 29, 2001

Redmond O'Hanlon takes himself (and us) on an incredible journey of exploration and adventure into the deepest outreaches of the Amazon jungle. A subtle blend of daring, courage and downright bloody-mindedness is conveyed in this enthralling account of travel well off the beaten track. O'Hanlon would appear to have the ideal characteristics of a twentieth century explorer - namely a sense of humour and a willingness to communicate on any level with any peoples, even the ferociously depicted Yanomami tribes of the great South American interior. He is not afraid to test his luck, to continue in the face of despair, to eat whatever is given to him! He is even given to dabble in the height of male Yanomami social pastime - an occasional snort of Yanomami yoppo! O'Hanlon fuels his adventurous ego somewhat with frightening accounts of the Yanomami tribes as he makes his way up-river to his first encounters with these legendary people, but then one must remember that he has actually done this trip, that it is not fiction, that we are comfortably installed in a comfy armchair.... Not exactly an anthropological triumph, but a very easy and entertaining book on a little known about part of the world.
