Wild Coast: Travels on South America's Untamed Edge As we delve into the dense, muddy coastline of Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana, we embark on a thrilling journey with author John Gimlette, who takes us deep into the heart of South America's untamed edge. This trio of small countries is home to some of the least known yet most intriguing places on earth, where the history is complicated, the flora and fauna are still being discovered, and the people are as diverse as they are resilient. From the hideouts of runaway slaves to the vegetation-strangled remnants of penal colonies and forts, Gimlette recounts the infamous and often bloody history of the region, including the 1978 cult suicide at Jonestown. Through his vivid storytelling, we meet an array of characters, from indigenous tribes who still practice sorcery to descendants of African slaves, Dutch conquerors, Hmong refugees, Irish adventurers, and Scottish outlaws. We encounter the world's largest ants, fluorescent purple frogs, and head-crushing jaguars, each one more fascinating than the last.
Дикий берег: Путешествие по нетронутой границе Южной Америки По мере того, как мы углубляемся в густую, грязную береговую линию Гайаны, Суринама и Французской Гвианы, мы отправляемся в захватывающее путешествие с автором Джоном Гимлеттом, который ведет нас глубоко в сердце нетронутой границы Южной Америки. Это трио маленьких стран является домом для некоторых из наименее известных, но наиболее интригующих мест на земле, где история сложна, флора и фауна все еще обнаруживаются, и люди так же разнообразны, как и устойчивы. От укрытий беглых рабов до задушенных растительностью остатков исправительных колоний и фортов, Гимлет рассказывает о печально известной и часто кровавой истории региона, включая культовое самоубийство 1978 года в Джонстауне. Благодаря его яркому повествованию мы встречаем множество персонажей, от коренных племен, которые до сих пор практикуют колдовство, до потомков африканских рабов, голландских завоевателей, беженцев-хмонгов, ирландских авантюристов и шотландских преступников. Мы сталкиваемся с крупнейшими в мире муравьями, флуоресцентными фиолетовыми лягушками и сокрушающими голову ягуарами, каждый из которых увлекательнее, чем последний.
La côte sauvage : un voyage à travers la frontière intacte de l'Amérique du Sud Alors que nous nous enfoncons dans la côte épaisse et sale de la Guyane, du Suriname et de la Guyane française, nous nous embarquons dans un voyage passionnant avec l'auteur John Gimlett, qui nous mène au cœur de la frontière intacte de l'Amérique du Sud. Ce trio de petits pays abrite certains des endroits les moins connus, mais les plus intrigants de la terre, où l'histoire est complexe, la flore et la faune sont encore découvertes et les gens sont aussi variés que durables. Des abris d'esclaves fugitifs aux restes étouffés par la végétation des colonies correctionnelles et des forts, Gimlet raconte l'histoire tristement célèbre et souvent sanglante de la région, y compris le suicide culte de 1978 à Johnstown. Grâce à sa narration éclatante, nous rencontrons de nombreux personnages, des tribus indigènes qui pratiquent encore la sorcellerie aux descendants d'esclaves africains, aux conquérants hollandais, aux Hmongs réfugiés, aux aventuriers irlandais et aux criminels écossais. Nous sommes confrontés aux plus grandes fourmis du monde, aux grenouilles violettes fluorescentes et aux jaguars qui s'écrasent la tête, chacune plus fascinante que la dernière.
Costa salvaje: Un viaje por la frontera prístina de América del Sur A medida que nos adentramos en la densa y sucia costa de Guyana, Surinam y la Guayana Francesa, emprendemos un emocionante viaje con el autor John Gimlett, que nos lleva profundamente al corazón de la frontera intacta del Sur América. Este trío de países pequeños es el hogar de algunos de los lugares menos conocidos pero más intrigantes de la tierra, donde la historia es compleja, la flora y la fauna aún se descubren y los seres humanos son tan diversos como resistentes. Desde refugios de esclavos fugitivos hasta restos asfixiados por la vegetación de colonias correccionales y fuertes, Himlet narra la infame y a menudo sangrienta historia de la región, incluyendo el culto suicidio de 1978 en Johnstown. Gracias a su vibrante narración nos encontramos con multitud de personajes, desde tribus indígenas que todavía practican la brujería, hasta descendientes de esclavos africanos, conquistadores holandeses, refugiados hmong, aventureros irlandeses y criminales escoceses. Nos encontramos con las hormigas más grandes del mundo, las ranas moradas fluorescentes y los jaguares aplastantes de la cabeza, cada uno más fascinante que el último.
Costa Selvagem: Viagem pela fronteira intacta da América do Sul À medida que nos aprofundamos na espessa e suja costa da Guiana, Suriname e Guiana Francesa, embarcamos numa emocionante viagem com o autor John Guimlett, que nos leva ao coração da fronteira intacta da América do Sul. Este trio de pequenos países é o lar de alguns dos lugares menos conhecidos, mas mais intrigantes da terra, onde a história é complexa, a flora e a fauna ainda são descobertos, e as pessoas são tão variadas quanto sustentáveis. De esconderijos de escravos fugitivos a restos de colônias penitenciárias e fortes sufocados pela vegetação, Guimlet descreve a história infame e frequentemente sangrenta da região, incluindo o suicídio cult de 1978 em Jonestown. Através de sua narrativa brilhante, encontramos muitos personagens, desde tribos indígenas que ainda praticam feitiçaria até descendentes de escravos africanos, conquistadores holandeses, refugiados hmong, aventureiros irlandeses e criminosos escoceses. Enfrentamos as maiores formigas do mundo, sapos roxos fluorescentes e jaguares esmagadores, cada uma mais fascinante do que a última.
Costa Selvaggia: Viaggio lungo il confine intatto del Sud America Mentre stiamo approfondendo la spessa e sporca costa della Guaiana, del Suriname e della Guiana Francese, stiamo per intraprendere un emozionante viaggio con l'autore John Himlett, che ci porta nel cuore del confine intatto del Sud America. Questo trio di piccoli paesi è la casa di alcuni dei luoghi meno conosciuti ma più intriganti della terra, dove la storia è complessa, la flora e la fauna sono ancora scoperte e le persone sono tanto diverse quanto resistenti. Dai nascondigli degli schiavi fuggiti ai residui di colonie e fortini soffocati dalla vegetazione, Gimlet racconta la storia tristemente famosa e spesso sanguinosa della regione, compreso il suicidio di culto del 1978 a Johnstown. Grazie alla sua brillante narrazione, incontriamo molti personaggi, dalle tribù indigene che ancora praticano la stregoneria ai discendenti di schiavi africani, conquistatori olandesi, rifugiati hmong, avventori irlandesi e criminali scozzesi. Affrontiamo le più grandi formiche del mondo, le rane viola fluorescenti e i giaguari che schiacciano la testa, ognuna delle quali è più affascinante dell'ultima.
Wild Coast: Reise entlang der unberührten Grenze Südamerikas Während wir tiefer in die dichte, schlammige Küste von Guyana, Suriname und Französisch-Guayana eintauchen, begeben wir uns mit dem Autor John Gimlett auf eine spannende Reise, die uns tief in das Herz der unberührten Grenze Südamerikas führt. Dieses Trio kleiner Länder beherbergt einige der am wenigsten bekannten, aber faszinierendsten Orte der Erde, an denen die Geschichte komplex ist, Flora und Fauna immer noch entdeckt werden und die Menschen so vielfältig wie widerstandsfähig sind. Von den Verstecken flüchtiger Sklaven bis zu den von Vegetation erstickten Überresten von Strafkolonien und Forts erzählt Gimlet die berüchtigte und oft blutige Geschichte der Region, einschließlich des Kult-Selbstmords von 1978 in Johnstown. Dank seiner lebendigen Erzählung treffen wir auf viele Charaktere, von indigenen Stämmen, die immer noch Hexerei praktizieren, bis hin zu Nachkommen afrikanischer Sklaven, holländischer Eroberer, Hmong-Flüchtlinge, irischer Abenteurer und schottischer Verbrecher. Wir begegnen den größten Ameisen der Welt, fluoreszierenden violetten Fröschen und kopfzermalmenden Jaguaren, von denen jeder faszinierender ist als der letzte.

Wild Shore: A Journey Across South America's Pristine Frontier Guyana, Surinam ve Fransız Guyanası'nın yoğun, çamurlu kıyı şeridine girerken, bizi Güney Amerika'nın bozulmamış sınırının kalbine götüren yazar John Gimlett ile heyecan verici bir yolculuğa çıkıyoruz. Bu küçük ülke üçlüsü, tarihin karmaşık olduğu, flora ve faunanın hala keşfedildiği ve insanların esnek oldukları kadar çeşitli olduğu, dünyadaki en az bilinen ancak en ilgi çekici yerlerden bazılarına ev sahipliği yapmaktadır. Kaçak kölelerin saklanmasından, ceza kolonilerinin ve kalelerin bitki örtüsünün boğulmuş kalıntılarına kadar, Gimlet, ikonik 1978 Jonestown intiharı da dahil olmak üzere bölgenin rezil ve çoğu zaman kanlı tarihini anlatıyor. Canlı hikaye anlatımı sayesinde, hala büyücülük yapan yerli kabilelerden Afrikalı kölelerin, Hollandalı fatihlerin, Hmong mültecilerinin, İrlandalı maceracıların ve İskoç haydutların torunlarına kadar çeşitli karakterlerle tanışıyoruz. Dünyanın en büyük karıncaları, floresan mor kurbağaları ve kafa kıran jaguarlarıyla karşılaşıyoruz, her biri bir öncekinden daha büyüleyici.
وايلد شور: رحلة عبر الحدود البكر لأمريكا الجنوبية بينما نتعمق في الساحل الكثيف والموحل لغيانا وسورينام وغيانا الفرنسية، نشرع في رحلة مثيرة مع المؤلف جون جيمليت، الذي يقودنا إلى عمق قلب الجنوب حدود أمريكا البكر. هذا الثلاثي من البلدان الصغيرة هو موطن لبعض الأماكن الأقل شهرة ولكن الأكثر إثارة للاهتمام على وجه الأرض، حيث التاريخ معقد، ولا يزال يتم اكتشاف النباتات والحيوانات والبشر متنوعون بقدر ما هم مرنون. من إخفاء العبيد الهاربين إلى بقايا المستعمرات والحصون العقابية المخنوقة بالنباتات، يروي جيمليت تاريخ المنطقة سيئ السمعة والدموي في كثير من الأحيان، بما في ذلك انتحار جونستاون الشهير عام 1978. من خلال روايتها الحية للقصص، نلتقي بمجموعة متنوعة من الشخصيات، من القبائل الأصلية التي لا تزال تمارس السحر إلى أحفاد العبيد الأفارقة والغزاة الهولنديين واللاجئين الهمونغ والمغامرين الأيرلنديين والخارجين عن القانون الاسكتلنديين. نواجه أكبر النمل في العالم، والضفادع الأرجوانية الفلورية والجاكوار الذي يسحق الرأس، كل منها أكثر روعة من السابق.
