Yossi Ghinsberg

What begins as a dream adventure for four amicable, if hastily met, muchileros (backpackers) quickly becomes a struggle for survival as they unravel under the duress of the jungle. They are an odd mix to be sure: Marcus, the Swiss mystic; Karl, the shady Austrian geologist; Kevin, the well-intentioned American photographer; and Yossi, the Israeli adventurer.
 Jungle is the incredible true story of Yossi Ghinsberg's triumph over the most adverse and frightening of circumstances. It is a tale of survival and human fortitude against the wildest backdrop on the planet.

Dem Dschungel entkommen: Überlebenskampf im Urwald Boliviens

Piper Verlag GmbH

“Cuatro mochileros se encuentran en Bolivia y se adentran en el corazón de la selva amazónica. Lo que comienza como una aventura de ensueño, se deteriora rápidamente, convirtiéndose en una peligrosa pesadilla. Yossi, separado de sus compañeros, se ve obligado a sobrevivir solo durante semanas en uno de los lugares más salvajes del planeta sin conocimiento alguno de supervivencia. Una poderosa historia de autoconocimiento y supervivencia en la naturaleza salvaje. En los pasajes más sombríos, Jungla es un relato conradiano en el corazón de la oscuridad de hombres en desacuerdo con ellos mismos y entre ellos. Como en otros clásicos de la literatura de supervivencia, Ghinsberg describe la mezcla de coraje físico, conocimientos prácticos y la espiritualidad que le permiten sobrevivir a las amenazas más mortíferas de la selva.”Los Angeles Times“Un libro emocionante la increíble aventura de un hombre que abrió la naturaleza boliviana al mundo.” The Washington Post
