| Summary | "In the Amazon Jungle" by Algot Lange is an adventurous account, likely written in the early 20th century. This narrative chronicles Lange's experiences while exploring remote parts of the Upper Amazon River, including an encounter with cannibal tribes. Through his vivid descriptions, readers are drawn into the treacherous and exotic environments of the Amazon, peppered with anecdotes of danger, cultural encounters, and the challenges of jungle life. The opening of the memoir introduces Lange's arrival at "Remate de Males," a village ominously named "Culmination of Evils," located at the convergence of two rivers. He shares his initial impressions of the environment and the inhabitants of the village, detailing the unique architecture raised on stilts to accommodate seasonal flooding, and the vibrant yet gritty social life of its residents. As he navigates through the fierce realities of jungle existence mixed with humor and personal reflection, Lange sets the stage for a series of encounters that reveal both the struggles and the hospitality of the people living in this remote part of the world.
