Recenzii
"Mr. Fleming has a really exciting story to tell." --Evelyn Waugh
"One of the most amusing and engaging travel records ever written. . . . If Max Beerbohm had been sent out to search for Dr. Livingstone and had written a book about it, the result might have been something like Brazilian Adventure." --The New Yorker
"[I]f not the best travel book every written--though I think arguably it is--remains hands-down the funniest." --The Financial Times
