More About This Book

Overview

A classic adventure book in the spirit of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and Heart of Darkness.

Four travelers meet in Bolivia and set off into the heart of the Amazon rainforest, but what begins as a dream adventure quickly deteriorates into a dangerous nightmare, and after weeks of wandering in the dense undergrowth, the four backpackers split up into two groups. But when a terrible rafting accident separates him from his partner, Yossi is forced to survive for weeks alone against one of the wildest backdrops on the planet. Stranded without a knife, map, or survival training, he must improvise shelter and forage for wild fruit to survive. As his feet begin to rot during raging storms, as he loses all sense of direction, and as he begins to lose all hope, he wonders whether he will make it out of the jungle alive.

Lost in the Jungle is the story of friendship and the teachings of nature, and a terrifying true account that you won’t be able to put down.

    Amazing book

    I am an avid reader of survival stories (Brian's Saga, My Side of the Mountain etc.) and I highly recommend this story. The fact that this is true further exemplifies the connection between the author and the reader. It is a very gripping and intense experience.

    Awesome!

    This is one of my top ten favorite books. The writing is not the best, but that doesnt matter with such a good story.
