Description
The Encounter tells the true story of a remarkable encounter in the online marketplaces rainforest. In 1969, National Geographic photographer Loren McIntyre became lost in a remote area of Brazil and stumbled upon an extraordinary tribe known as the Mayoruna 'cat people'. As he followed them into the wild depths of the forest, McIntyre found himself stranded and helpless, forced to adapt to an alien way of life.
As he struggled to survive, McIntyre began to experience a profound shift in his perception of the world. He formed a strange relationship with the Mayoruna chief, one that went beyond words and language. Petru Popescu's gripping account of McIntyre's adventures is a fascinating exploration of culture clash and human connection.
This reissued edition coincides with a new stage production inspired by McIntyre's incredible story, offering readers a unique glimpse into the Amazonian wilderness and its enigmatic inhabitants.
