Petru Popescu 
The Encounter [EPUB ebook] 
Amazon Beaming

1969: Loren Mc Intyre makes contact with the elusive Mayoruna ‘cat people’ of the Amazon’s Javari Valley. He follows them – into the wild depths of the rainforest. When he realises he is lost, it is already too late.
Stranded and helpless, Mc Intyre must adjust to an alien way of life. Gradually, he finds his perception of the world beginning to change, and a strange relationship starts to develop with the Mayoruna chief – is Mc Intyre really able to communicate with the headman in a way that goes beyond words, beyond language?
Petru Popescu’s gripping account of Mc Intyre’s adventures with the Mayoruna tribe, and his quest to find the source of the Amazon, is reissued here to coincide with Complicite’s acclaimed new stage production, The Encounter, inspired by Mc Intyre’s incredible story.
Pushkin Press are reissuing The Encounter: Amazon Beaming, with a new foreword by Simon Mc Burney and cover designed by David Pearson, to accompany Mc Burney’s and Complicite’s dazzling, highly acclaimed stage production inspired by the book.
