Travel Book Discussion: The Lost City of Z by David Grann

Join us to discuss The Lost City of Z by David Grann.

In 1925, Percy Fawcett ventured into the Amazon to find an ancient civilization, hoping to make one of the most important discoveries in history: El Dorado. Thousands had died looking for it, leaving many scientists convinced that the Amazon was truly inimical to humans. But Fawcett, whose daring expeditions inspired 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 21-year-old son, determined to prove that this ancient civilization--which he dubbed Z--existed. Then his expedition vanished. Fawcett's fate, & the tantalizing clues he left behind about Z, became an obsession for hundreds who followed him into the uncharted wilderness.
