Through hundreds of vast rivers, entire cities built on stilts, and some of the darkest, densest forest in the world, author John Gimlette travels to Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana.
Along with the region’s often-bloody history, Gimlette introduces readers to some unnerving creatures—from alligators to head-crushing jaguars—and the extraordinary cast of characters who’ve made the Guianas their home: among them, tribesmen, terrorists, spacemen, Hmong refugees, long-lost Scotsmen, and the descendants of rebels and runaway slaves.
