The Lost City of Z (Chinese Edition)

Percy Fawcett, the protagonist prototype of Conan Doyle's masterpiece The Lost World, was a famous British explorer in Victoria Era and a winner of Royal Geographical Society gold medal, and he was regarded as 'the last individual explorer in the world' (Geographical Journal, London). He traveled deep into the Amazon Jungle, successfully explored the borders of Bolivia, Brazil and other countries in the region almost single-handedly, and befriended with several Amazon tribes unknown to the world. In 1925, the nearly 60 years old Fawcett took his son Jack into the depths of the Amazon to prove the ancient civilization called the 'City of Z' did exist and he was determined to make the 'Great Discovery of the 20th Century', which attracted the attention of the world. Five months later, however, no one heard from them and they disappeared in the jungle. The whereabouts of Fawcett and the enticing clues became a mystery in the history of expedition which is fascinating to people and leads to many legends. More than 80 years later, the middle aged author David Grann, who never climbs stairs if there is a lift, gave play to the professional spirit of a reporter, probed deeply into it, analyzed repeatedly, even traveled to Brazil and followed the route of Fawcett to uncover the mystery of Fawcett, City of Z and successors. A startling discovery awaited him.
