Description
A spellbinding travel book, The Sea and the Jungle is an account of the author's journey on the tramp steamer Capella-which was bringing supplies to a railroad construction site-on the Amazon and Madeira rivers. Tomlinson's experiences on the trip and his stories about the events at the construction site are the stuff of true adventure; it was hailed as an instant classic.
