Jaguars and Electric Eels (Penguin Great Journeys)

Alexander von Humboldt

3.3/5 ( ratings)

A great, innovative and restless thinker, the young Humboldt went on his epochal journey to the New World during a time of revolutionary ferment across Europe. This part of his matchless narrative of adventure and scientific research focuses on his time in Venezuela - in the Llanos and on the Orinoco River - riding and paddling, restlessly and happily noting the extraordinary things on every hand. Great Journeys allows readers to travel both around the planet and back through the centuries -- but also back into ideas and worlds frightening, ruthless and cruel in different ways from our own.
