A grand mystery reaching back centuries. A sensational disappearance that made headlines around the world. A quest for truth that leads to death, madness or disappearance for those who seek to solve it. The Lost City of Z is a blockbuster adventure narrative about what lies beneath the impenetrable jungle canopy of the Amazon. After stumbling upon a hidden trove of diaries, acclaimed New Yorker writer David Grann set out to solve "the greatest exploration mystery of the twentieth century:" What happened to the British explorer Percy Fawcett and his quest for the Lost City of Z? In 1925 Fawcett ventured into the Amazon to find an ancient civilization, hoping to make one of the most important discoveries in history. For centuries Europeans believed the world’s largest jungle concealed the glittering kingdom of El Dorado. Thousands had died looking for it, leaving many scientists convinced that the Amazon was truly inimical to humankind. But Fawcett, whose daring expeditions helped inspire Conan Doyle’s The Lost World , had spent years building his scientific case. Captivating the imagination of millions around the globe, Fawcett embarked with his twenty-one-year-old son, determined to prove that this ancient civilization--which he dubbed “Z”--existed. Then he and his expedition vanished. Fawcett’s fate--and the tantalizing clues he left behind about “Z”--became an obsession for hundreds who followed him into the uncharted wilderness. For decades scientists and adventurers have searched for evidence of Fawcett’s party and the lost City of Z. Countless have perished, been captured by tribes, or gone mad. As David Grann delved ever deeper into the mystery surrounding Fawcett’s quest, and the greater mystery of what lies within the Amazon, he found himself, like the generations who preceded him, being irresistibly drawn into the jungle’s “green hell.” His quest for the truth and his stunning discoveries about Fawcett’s fate and “Z” form the heart of this complex, enthralling narrative.

評分全書兩條綫索共同推進:Fawcett的生平探險及失蹤後的各方反應,作者David Grann對Fawcett的走訪調查。 Fawcett毫無疑問,具有相當的魅力,他被成為“最後一個探險傢”,體格強健,精力旺盛,幾乎不受熱帶疾病侵染,維多利亞式的擴張奮進,以及相當的暴烈固執。他在當時的社會中...
評分一口氣讀完瞭這本書。感覺福塞特就像是希臘神話裏的西西弗斯。隻不過,西西弗斯推的是永遠也到不瞭頂的石頭,而福塞特他老人傢則是一次又一次走進險象環生的叢林,尋找Z城,每次都是失歸往歸,卻從不放棄,最後不知所終。 是為瞭傳說中的黃金嗎?雖然是貴族身份,但他生前窮得...

結尾太完美瞭!!!讀過的第一本全英小說
評分影像記錄的是現在,但好像又訴說著未來。 就是這種deadly obsession, 讓他們自始都義無反顧,至終又一去不返。拋開電影對情節的美化,欲望,本能,情感無論何時都強烈灼燒著強者的內心。

評分除瞭福賽特個人生平的記述之外,這本書更吸引我的是對福賽特所處的那個探險傢時代的描寫和展現。其實看的過程中一直懷疑這本書能否最終解開有關福賽特和Z的謎團,看完後對作者給齣的解答錶示滿意。
