The Lost City of Z is a riveting, exciting and thoroughly compelling tale of adventure has definitely become my new favorite. I'm a sucker for adventure and exploration stories, especially when based around actual events (Out of Africa remains an all time favorite). I actually wanted to be an archeologist growing up:) This hauntingly mysterious and incredibly interesting book, set mainly in the Amazon forests of South America is actually two stories. The first is the life story of Victorian explorer Percy Harrison Fawcett. A member of the Royal Geographical Society, Fawcett was an explorer in the days when much of the globe was truly unknown. He achieved worldwide acclaim as an explorer of the Amazonian jungles and river ways. It's hard to imagine the bravery it took to strike out into the absolute unknown--with little or no communication with civilization--sometimes for years at a time. Fawcett and his companions routinely faced starvation, bloodthirsty indigenous tribes, horrific insect infestations, lethal tropical diseases, deadly white-water rapids, poisonous snakes, anacondas, piranha, and other terrifying creatures. And the second is the author's own tale. He's an unlikely adventurer--a not particularly athletic, middle-aged staff writer for The New Yorker. But Grann does get caught up in the course of researching the book. So much so that he leaves his comfortable urban life, his wife, and his infant son to enter the Brazilian jungle. Like so many others, he seeks to find out what truly happened to Fawcett, and/or if there really was a Z. The book included photos which make it all the more real. I could NOT put this book down and read it in about 4 days. I also really liked having the background of the Book of Mormon, from an historical perspective, especially in relation to the ancient inhabitants of the Americas.
