                        GHEERBRANT (Alain). The Orinoco Amazon Expedition 1948-1950. P., NRF, 1952, 8°, 387 p., br., uncut. Original edition 1/56 ex. of head number on pure wove vellum, the only large paper, and among these one of the six out of print (this one unmarked from A to F). Ethnologist, filmmaker and writer, Alain Gheerbrant (Paris, 1920-2013) led the Orinoco-Amazon expedition between 1948 and 1950, which enabled the crossing of a previously unexplored region: the Sierra Parima, located on the borders of Colombia, Brazil and Venezuela. In "this impenetrable green hell", he will establish the first peaceful contact with the Yanomami Indians, called Guaharibos.
