Lost in the Jungle
Author: Yossi Ghinsberg
Published by: Summersdale
Price: £7.99

Four backpackers meet in Bolivia and set off into the rainforest on a dream expedition lured by the promise of uncharted villages and forgotten tribes hidden in places tourists never go. The adventure starts well but as relationships deteriorate the journey becomes a struggle for survival.

The group splits up after disagreements and Yossi and Kevin try to find their own way without a guide. When a terrible rafting accident separates the two men, Yossi finds himself alone in the jungle lost without a guide in a most unpredictable environment.

Over the next 20 days Yossi becomes weaker, has to deal with hunger, the skin on his feet begin to rot, yet his survival instincts come into play and Yossi hangs on.

The story is told with gripping immediacy and searingly honesty, this is an extraordinary, terrifying tale that you won't be able to put down.
