Reader's note

A popping pink Penguin edition of The Sea and The Jungle by H.M. Tomlinson published in 1953! The narrator of this story made his escape from Fleet Street one winter by signing on as purser of the tramp steamer Capella, bound for the Brazils. He found the freedom he wanted at sea, where the days ran together 'into a measureless sense of well-being'. In this book, a mixture of diary and adventure story, he writes of life aboard the steamer as she crossed the ocean to the Amazon and sailed up the uncharted Madeira River through the magnificent jungle reflected in its smooth, yellow water. He describes the strange excitement of that barbaric forest and the languid tropic air: he describes the odd character of the men who worked on it....
