Description:
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.
Ghinsberg is most known for his survival story of when he was stranded in an uncharted part of the Bolivian Amazon jungle for three weeks in 1981.

Published by Random House, Pan Macmillan, National Geographic, Penguin, Summersdale and Skyhorse amongst others and critically reviewed and acclaimed by the LA Times, The Washington Post, CNN and may others.
The book's adaptation was one of the core episodes for a Discovery Channel acclaimed series "I shouldn’t Be Alive." And in April 2017 a motion picture based on 'Jungle' premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival. Starring Daniel Radcliffe as Yossi.
