About this listen

Journey into the heart of the Amazon with H.M. Tomlinsons The Sea and the Jungle, a remarkable travel narrative that captures his firsthand experiences aboard the English steamer Capella. Driven by a desire to escape his mundane job in London, Tomlinson embarks on an adventurous voyage to deliver supplies to railroad workers amidst the lush, untamed wilderness of Brazil. His account is rich with vivid imagery of the tumultuous sea, the vibrant tropics, and the myriad challenges he faces—from storms and yellow fever to the peculiarities of life in the jungle. With a blend of sharp wit and keen observation, Tomlinson invites listeners to share in the thrills and perils of his unforgettable journey. (Summary by Tatiana Chichilla)
