In the early 1940's (yes, really!) I read at school a book about a journey up the Amazon, including a visit to Manaus. It was recommended by our English teacher. I seem to remember it was quite a small black book, and the contents impressed me greatly. But I can't remember the title or the author.

A friend has just returned from such a journey, on a modern cruise ship, and I'd very much like to trace this book. Can anyone help? Obviously, if you just type "Amazon book "into Google, it's no help!

Can anyone help me to find the book title or author?
