This expedition was too much of a temptation for Peter Fleming, a young journalist with energy and an appetite for adventure. The journey, which begins in a reckless spirit of can-do frivolity, slowly darkens into something very personal and deeply testing for which Rider Haggard might have written the plot and Conrad designed the scenery. Fleming recounts it in brilliant prose, leavening the danger with humour and honesty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'This is an extraordinarily good book...he is romantic; he has humour; and he faces facts.' - Sunday Times\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Crammed with sound observation, good writing, humour and a unique blend of disillusion, foolhardiness, and high spirits.' - J B Priestley\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47924841152670,"sku":"ING-9781780602004","price":36.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781780602004.jpg?v=1782953722","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781780602004","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
