Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Una leyenda de 500 anos.Una maldicion antigua.Un asombroso misterio medico.Y un viaje de descubrimiento al corazon ignoto de la selva mas densa del mundo. Desde los dias de Hernan Cortes han circulado rumores sobre una ciudad perdida con inmensas riquezas escondida en alguna parte de Honduras, llamada la Ciudad Blanca o la Ciudad Perdida del Dios Mono. Los pueblos indigenas hablan de ancestros que huyeron a ese lugar para escapar de los conquistadores espanoles, y advierten que cualquiera que entre a esta ciudad sagrada enfermara y morira. En 1940, el periodista estadounidense Theodore Morde regreso de la selva con cientos de objetos antiguos, asegurando haber encontrado la Ciudad Blanca. Sin embargo, se suicido sin revelar su ubicacion. Tres cuartos de siglo despues, el escritor Douglas Preston se unio a un equipo de exploradores en una nueva aventura. A bordo de un viejo avion monomotor, y gracias a un avanzado dispositivo laser, descubrieron la imagen inconfundible de una metropoli entre el denso follaje selvatico. Aventurandose en esta tierra salvaje, Preston y el equipo de investigadores se enfrentaron a lluvias torrenciales, arenas movedizas, insectos portadores de enfermedades, jaguares y serpientes. Sin embargo, no fue sino hasta su regreso que la tragedia los golpeo: Preston y otros descubrieron que habian contraido una terrible enfermedad en las ruinas. Intrigante e impactante, plagada de aventuras estremecedoras y dramaticos giros de tuerca, La Ciudad Perdida del Dios Mono es el recuento veridico de uno de los grandes descubrimientos del siglo XXI. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION NAMED A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2017 #1 New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller! A Best Book of 2017 from the Boston Globe One of the 12 Best Books of the Year from National Geographic Included in Lithub's Ultimate Best Books of 2017 List A Favorite Science Book of 2017 from Science News A five-hundred-year-old legend. An ancient curse. A stunning medical mystery. And a pioneering journey into the unknown heart of the world's densest jungle. Since the days of conquistador Hernan Cortes, rumors have circulated about a lost city of immense wealth hidden somewhere in the Honduran interior, called the White City or the Lost City of the Monkey God. Indigenous tribes speak of ancestors who fled there to escape the Spanish invaders, and they warn that anyone who enters this sacred city will fall ill and die. In 1940, swashbuckling journalist Theodore Morde returned from the rainforest with hundreds of artifacts and an electrifying story of having found the Lost City of the Monkey God-but then committed suicide without revealing its location. Three quarters of a century later, bestselling author Doug Preston joined a team of scientists on a groundbreaking new quest. In 2012 he climbed aboard a rickety, single-engine plane carrying the machine that would change everything: lidar, a highly advanced, classified technology that could map the terrain under the densest rainforest canopy. In an unexplored valley ringed by steep mountains, that flight revealed the unmistakable image of a sprawling metropolis, tantalizing evidence of not just an undiscovered city but an enigmatic, lost civilization. Venturing into this raw, treacherous, but breathtakingly beautiful wilderness to confirm the discovery, Preston and the team battled torrential rains, quickmud, disease-carrying insects, jaguars, and deadly snakes. But it wasn't until they returned Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9786073167567
