Brazilian Adventure

Peter Fleming

It began with an advertisement in The Times: 'Leaving England June, to explore rivers Central Brazil, if possible ascertain fate Colonel Fawcett; abundance game, big and small; exceptional fishing; room two more guns.' Colonel Fawcett and his son Jack had embarked on a journey in 1925 in search of a supposed lost city in the Amazon and were never seen again. 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.

Walking

Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau’s Walking is a profound meditation on nature, freedom, and self-discovery. Originally published in 1862, this classic essay explores the philosophy of walking as both a physical and spiritual act, emphasizing the importance of immersing oneself in the wild, untamed beauty of the natural world. Thoreau argues that walking is not merely a pastime but a way to achieve a deeper connection with the land, free from societal constraints and distractions. 
Narrated by Declan McHugh, this audiobook brings Thoreau’s lyrical prose to life, guiding listeners through his reflections on wilderness, solitude, and personal growth. His insights remain as relevant today as they were in the 19th century, inspiring modern readers to step away from the noise of civilization and embrace the tranquility of nature. 
An essential work for lovers of philosophy, nature writing, and transcendentalist thought, Walking is a timeless call to slow down, wander, and rediscover the world beyond paved roads and crowded cities.
