Four travelers meet in Bolivia and set off into the heart of the Amazon rainforest, but what begins as a dream adventure quickly deteriorates into a dangerous nightmare, and after weeks of wandering in the dense undergrowth, the four backpackers split up into two groups. But when a terrible rafting accident separates him from his partner, Yossi is forced to survive for weeks alone against one of the wildest backdrops on the planet. Stranded without a knife, map, or survival training, he must improvise shelter and forage for wild fruit to survive. As his feet begin to rot during raging storms, as he loses all sense of direction, and as he begins to lose all hope, he wonders whether he will make it out of the jungle alive.
The basis of an upcoming motion picture starring Daniel Radcliffe, Jungle is the story of friendship and the teachings of nature, and a terrifying true account that you won’t be able to put down.

“A powerful story of self-discovery, survival in the wild. In its darkest passages, [Jungle] is a Conradian tale of men at odds with themselves and each other in the very heart of darkness. As in other classics in the literature of survival, Ghinsberg describes the blend of physical courage, practical knowledge and quiet spirituality that allows him to survive the deadliest threats of the wilderness.”
----The Los Angeles Times
“A thrilling book . . . one man’s amazing adventure opened up the Bolivian wilderness to the world.”
----The Washington Post
“The brutal politics of rainforest exploitation provide a somber backdrop, but it’s the gripping foreground action here that makes this yarn . . . A strong bet for armchair adventure.”
----Kirkus Reviews
“One of those amazing survival stories that almost brings you [to] a cold sweat just from reading it. Once you start it you won’t put it down.”

“[Jungle] should be compulsory reading for anyone who wants to know just how horrible those trekky adventure-type holidays can get when things go wrong. Your Lonely Planet guide never explains how to deal with hungry leopards.”
