Anchor Books The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey

Great

Um livro pouco conhecido, mas sensacional.

The River of Doubt completely pulled me in from the first page. Candice Millard brings Theodore Roosevelt’s harrowing journey through the uncharted Amazon to life with incredible detail and storytelling. You can almost feel the heat, the insects, and the constant danger of the jungle as Roosevelt and his team push beyond their limits. What makes this book so special is how it blends history, biography, and adventure all in one — it’s both thrilling and deeply human. Millard captures Roosevelt’s determination, vulnerability, and courage in a way that feels intimate and inspiring. If you enjoy stories of survival, exploration, and real historical grit, this book is a must-read. It’s the kind of nonfiction that reminds you truth can be even more captivating than fiction!

An amazing writer who weaves the incredible story of Roosevelt’s adventure with the history and nature of the Amazon rainforest in a seamless and engrossing way.. Riveting.

Printed on extremely bright white stock, the book uses a very small, thin typeface with virtually no line spacing and no margins. The pages read as dense blocks of text, which strains the eyes, reduces legibility, and makes navigation difficult (there’s nowhere to rest the thumb or annotate). The overall effect recalls a photocopy rather than a thoughtfully typeset volume. Thanks to Amazon, I was able to return it without any problems
