Old Gold: The Cruise of the "Jason" Brig
Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
"Old Gold: The Cruise of the 'Jason' Brig" by George Manville Fenn is an adventure novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a couple of wealthy Englishmen who embark on an unprecedented journey to explore the Amazon River, accompanied by a brash young man named Briscoe. As they navigate the treacherous waters of South America, they encounter local natives, mysterious ruins, and the tantalizing possibility of hidden treasures, all while grappling with the dangers that accompany their ambitious quest. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the oppressive heat of Johnstown, Guiana, where Captain David Banes converses with Sir Humphrey Leigh and his brother Brace over breakfast. As they discuss the impending voyage and Briscoe's unwelcome presence among them, tensions arise about potential risks, including the threats posed by the indigenous people and the perils of navigating unfamiliar waters. The plot quickly escalates as they venture into the Amazon, facing numerous challenges such as attacks from locals and natural obstacles like cataracts, all while searching for fabled treasures hidden in an otherworldly ancient city. The opening sets the stage for a tale of exploration filled with suspense and adventure. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
