Product Information
1971, the American photographer Loren McIntyre finds himself stranded in the depths of the Amazon rainforest, on the border between Brazil and Peru. Finding refuge with the Mayoruma tribe - the famous and elusive 'cat people' of the Javari Valley, McIntyre must adjust to a strange new way of life. Before long he finds his perception of the world beginning to change, and an unusual relationship starts to develop with the Mayoruma chief - is McIntryre really able to communicate telepathically with the headman? Petru Popescu's narrative account is interspersed with notes from McIntyre's diary to create a fascinating and disorientating account of an extraordinary true story.Product Identifiers
