Summary of this Book... | ||
A Dutch explorer and a French intellectual head into the Cambodian wilderness in search of valuable artifacts. Needless to say, they encounter quite a bit of resistance on the way. | ||
This type of Book is good for... | ||
Brooding over afterwards. | ||
I especially liked... | ||
The rich depictions of the jungle, and the brilliant way the author sets the mood. | ||
I didn't like... | ||
It's a bit verbose at times, and it drags in certain parts. | ||
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to... | ||
stay away from the jungle | ||
This Book made me feel... | ||
kind of sad, kind of curious | ||
The author of this Book... | ||
was a very interesting character from France. He wrote many books and played a large part in politics. Andre Malraux, worth looking up. | ||
I recommend this Book because... | ||
It is at once action packed and existially influenced. Action are proceeded by heart felt reflection. The description is sensual, often told through the five senses of the main characters. | ||
Further Comments... | ||
This book has an interesting mix of philosophy and adventure. | ||
