Inspired with youthful dreams of being an explorer, 23-year-old Benedict Allen travelled from the mouth of the Orinoco to the mouth of the Amazon. Allen stumbled on his own through the Amazonian jungle, so coming face-to-face with the harsh reality of being alone in the midst of potentially hostile territory. Allen's first published work develops into a tale full of mishaps, dangers - and sheer bloody endurance. He records how the experience of living in the jungle with Indians taught him how to survive - an ability he quickly found he needed to use.
